[font=trebuchet ms]Upon hearing a voice on the border, Straw had figured she might as well attend to it. It would be quick, most likely; the joiner would be welcomed in, probably Tena or Kade would take them on a tour, and her role in the matter would be minimal as long as she was there in the interim. Even if she had enough social interaction in the past two weeks for the next six months, she still had a responsibility to help the clan.
It was when she arrived on the scene, and saw the newcomer shaking and in apparent pain, that she ceased to think about how much talking she'd had to do recently.
"Sir," Straw murmured, quickly walking past Honey and up to the stranger. She stopped a few feet away to avoid making him claustrophobic, and leaned down to look him in the eyes. "Sir. Can you count to twenty aloud, please? It might help." Twenty was an arbitrary number she'd pulled out of thin air and probably wouldn't take his mind off the stress for very long, but it'd be enough time for her to figure out something else.
