On the hunt for herbs for her garden not new faces, the sound of someone calling for help caught the child off-guard.  Hazel hues, more gold than green, flashed sharply in surprise.  Quickly, the petite vixen followed the nearby sound, just luckily in her vicinity.  In haste, she nearly stumbled, blinking, frowning, until she finally saw the other.

Another child, like herself.  Only he came from the desert.  Teeth caught on the inside of her cheek.  Soft breaths.  "Hey... Hey, what's happened?" Her own voice cut the air quietly, heavy with fierce concern. "I wanna help. 'm Aine." How to help though?

The rasp in his voice alarmed her.  Exhaustion?  Dehydration?  The little fox didn't want to leave him, even to find water.  How would she carry it all the way to the edge of the jungle anyway?  If I can't an adult can... She kneaded the ground with soot-colored paws nervously.

She took a few steps back, turning her head towards the jungle's heart.  "Da! … Mr. Kydobi!" Pacing.  "Mr. Vox!"

Uneasy retreating back to the other youth, crouching at his side.  "You're gonna be okay," she insisted.  "'cause 'm gonna take care of ya, promise." Her eyes gleamed brightly, alive with a fire lit by determination.

— I'll come back when you call me —
