Boggy Swamp
Stretching between two bodies of water, a swamp and bog made of twisting waterways and trees. Groves of large water cypress and mangrove grow up from the water. Fish, sharks, and alligators lurk in the green waters.

"It could be the Ipomoea alba, or perhaps the cestrum nocturnum." As the other started to talk, Caedwyn felt like he was listening to a foreign language. He sat still, an awkward silence coming over him. Did he tell the stranger that he had no idea what he was saying? "Uh..." he he let an unsure word slip out before the other male thankfully started to talk normally again to ask what the plant looked like. Thank goodness. "Oh well you see — " he started, a little bashful tone in his voice.

But just as he was about to explain, his eyes caught something moving through the air. It's form wasn't clear or distinct. It appeared almost like a shimmer that distorted the space around it. It felt like looking through thick glass or how clear moving water distorted the rocks at the bottom of a creek. But the movement caught his gaze and just as his attention moved to it, the stranger jumped to his feet. Caedwyn in turn jumped up - unsure of what was about to happen. The strangers form then began to flicker in an odd way. Was Caedwyn imagining things? Hallucinating? Or had he simply been out too late? Or maybe, some sort of magic?

Just as quickly, the other male stopped and the fickering ceased and he seemed to be looking at Caedwyn.

Caedwyn waited a moment, looking around - thought the shimmering had disappeared - then staring back directly at the other male. "So ...""You saw that too or ... ???" What the fuck had just happened. No, he definitely wasn't imagining things. Why would have the other male jumped up suddenly if it was nothing. "It must be too dark. I didn't quite see what it was." His eyes glanced up into the trees above them again as though searching for signs of anything that might jump out at them again.
