"What do you mean you've got mages," she blurts out at him, and is infuriated at the tremble in her own voice. Damnit, she shouldn't have said anything to him, she shouldn't have said a word--
Rooster, at that point, seems to finally have caught wind of Fern's agitation. Rather than come to her defence, the stubborn, skittish animal starts trotting for the shoreline through the shallow waters. He's near enough to Simon that his reins could likely be grabbed, but Simon would have to be quick--
Eyes widening further as her mule starts to take off with all her worldly possessions strapped to his saddle, Fern cries out, "Rooster, no, stop!" but that doesn't seem to deter him in the least. Torn between her fear of the Templar and losing her pack animal, she ultimately starts to slosh through the water after him.
