Could they use help? Most likely. Pip wasn't overseeing the evacuation, however, so he had no way of knowing what needed tending to beyond his own responsibilities, and while he wasn't opposed to help, it would be better if he went about it alone. If the situation worsened, if the eruption took a very abrupt turn for the worst -what could be worse than an eruption he wasn't certain, but he didn't want to find out- he wouldn't want anyone stuck out with him. The best idea was to have everyone on the boats. "Not much to be done now," the young canine said after a moment, with a slight shake of his head. "We have some boats prepared. I can show you to them- it's best if we get everyone accounted for, but thank you for the offer."

He didn't imagine she would have known about it- they hadn't told anyone, as far as he knew. Perhaps they should, but he wouldn't unless Goldie permitted it. "It's not common knowledge, no. If you would rather...leave, it's understandable." At the sound of steps, he turned his head, finding a child- he wasn't certain he recognized her. Reko -as she revealed her name to be- seemed one of the few people who could manage the younger ones, offering a flower, and a small, barely there smile found Pip's face.
