Melantha is a lot of things. Cold. Distant. Judgmental. Solitary. Morally grey. A bit of a bitch. But she is not cruel without reason. A lot of times, she just likes to bare her teeth and put on a show so people know not to cross her, but it takes a special kind of bastard to actually inspire her with the motivation to kill. Which is why the golden puma approaches the ailing serval with intentions to aid, not harm. Perhaps it is strange for a clan filled with criminals, but Mel tends to do what she wants. Cultural norms be damned--as long as it does not conflict with a direct order from a higher-up, the young female has no qualms when it comes to acting according to her whims.
"Do not be afraid," murmurs the huntress so that only the unknown female can hear. "I will take you somewhere you can rest." Had Cosette walked right past the border like she owned the place, Melantha's reaction might have been different. But clearly the young serval needs help, so that is what the strong arm is going to do. Ever so gently, Mel aims to pick up Cosette by the scruff of her neck; wrapping her jaws around the other creature's throat much like a mother would do to her child. Assuming the stranger does not resist, Melantha carries the girl to a shaded area in the oasis that is near a small stream.
