[Bullseye. What satisfying shots! And what excellent trophies Jade is leaving in his wake. He wouldn't mind keeping such a beautiful knife for himself, and he definitely wants to have a little rummage through that bag to see what Jade had brought along. Even better, he hardly has to follow far to see Jade dive straight into the lake. Well, now..... Is this their ultimate destination, and he's already won what Vil wanted him to come here for? Or is Jade merely trying to hide in his native environment, to throw him off the trail long enough to make good his escape?
He can see the disturbance in the water Jade leaves, but it's far too murky to make him out beneath the surface. So..... Rook doesn't bother trying. He takes his time retrieving his arrows instead, scooping up that fallen knife, freeing Jade's bag from where it dangles. He takes them with him instead, clambering high into the branches of one of the trees ringing the clearing, and he waits with bow in hand.
Only a fool would blindly shove their hand into their quarry's burrow, once they'd run it to ground. Cornered prey bites, and fighting in their preferred terrain without being adequately prepared is a recipe for failure. There's nowhere for Jade to escape to that he can't survey from here, after all--he has to come out sometime. And if he doesn't.....
They had been fully aware that his stalking would inevitably lead to some body of water. He had come prepared. If Jade makes him wait too long, he might just have to drink his potion and follow him in.]
