He heard Evelyn's footfalls behind him and out of the corner of his eye, he saw her quickly approach until she was next to him, also heading towards the waterfall. As they walked, he opened his mind a little bit more; as they approached the water, he felt something new, another ribbon of sensation mixed in with all of the quietly chattering voices in this ecosystem. That ribbon grew louder and stronger as they approached; in his mind, he visualised it as something vividly cyan, flexible, and transparent...
"I feel something else," he muttered softly as they walked. "Seems like the water to me. Like it's got a special property of somer sort."
Soon they were standing at the edge of the small body of water into which the waterfall emptied. He peered at the huge, tumbling column that dove itself headfirst into the pool of water at the bottom of the cliff face. He felt the ribbon in his mind again, that cyan essence reaching out to him, searching. It certain had a consciousness, and it curled back a little and seemed to regard him curiously, as if it had never encountered a humanoid before, much less a Time Lord.
Turning to Evelyn, he wondered if she could sense it, too.
