[ Yen's head cants to the side a bit, watching the fox run away -- scanning the ground as she also spots the crushed leaves. Worry seeps through her bond to Geralt momentarily before dropping back into something more neutral. While it's great for them that they won't need to spend the better part of the day wandering in the woods, not interested in having this confrontation at night, it still felt too easy.
Not that she fully expected an injured turnskin to be really focusing on creating a trap for them, but there's a certain amount of paranoia that's hard to shake after enough years having to constantly watch her own back.
She can only hope that they're enough, that the truth honied in their words will ring through the pain and fear. Yen listens as they continue forward, intentionally making a point to not keep her steps light as she's in no mood to startle their target. Especially as they grow nearer to the water source. An easy distinction she can try to make between their group and a hunting party unless asked for silence. Something she might argue. Pointedly keeping her hands free of anything that could be misconstrued as a weapon, her eyes bounce between the trail and her two travel companions for anything she might not be able to pick up as a Witch. ]
