[How unfortunate for Richard that he couldn't control that initial spark of fear. It filters through the air while he regains his composure, and Dara's hands stop for a split second as the arrow is notched. He may be in her blind spot, but she knows someone is there. Nonetheless, the god takes her time to finish peeling off one last layer of skin while simultaneously sheathing the knife. The weapon goes back down her throat.
All during her unbothered movements, Dara debates the real question: what to do TO this person? If he had chosen to make himself known, then this wouldn't have become an issue. It's all poor timing-- her blood is still boiling from Sha-Ming's emotional backstabbing, and while the exfoliation process did help a bit, now she has to deal with this situation. She needs to know what she's dealing with.
With unnatural speed, the curse god practically melts into the water as she sinks herself. The blood, the disturbance of the falls, and the depth of the river provides a good amount of coverage to zip along with the current. It's the illusion of fleeing that allows her to begin the hunt.
Unbeknownst to Richard, miasma begins to permeate through the forest. Invisible and scentless to those without supernatural senses, the spiritual contamination is meant to heighten any fears. Dara intends to observe his reaction from amongst the treetops. It's been quite some time since she has decided to start a haunting.]
