He's Coming...

Kichi had never felt such fear of someone with his fear instead of having been the betrayal from others.  Still, he had indeed always known Relm to be independent and with strong will so to see her so scared now lead to numerous questions that really didn’t need to be asked right now.  Truthfully it was none of his damn business really.  Seeing her like this felt stranger than the eternal night.  Kichi had a set understanding of how the world worked and piece by piece these truths were slipping away from him.

When she showed her collection of mushrooms and crystals Kichi raised up his brows, “Well, you already gathered up what I was wanting to grab.  Just come right to the entrance of the cave, I’m going to be just one step outside it.  If you're at the entrance it means I’m still right next to you.  I won’t go any further.”  Kichi had never had to offer someone so much reassurance and most likely he was doing a piss poor job.  If he met the wolf who had done this to her he’d kill them and drop the corpse at her feet.

Kichi stepped out to the cave entrance and of course, there were more than enough fireflies there. “Hey, you guys.” Not that fireflies could understand so it was kind of stupid what he was doing.  “You guys have a friend, right?”  Who knew if they were really friends.  Kichi’s plans had more holes in them than the rocks out here had cracks.  “I want to speak with him.  Tell him to come in the cave and see if he likes any of the mushrooms and crystals my friend collected?  He can have all of them free of charge though I request information.” The message was passed and Kichi turned to move back to the cave, to Relm, and to her stockpile.
