hero time? ugh.

Distracted by trying to ensure that the stranger wouldn't perish on the shore, Rheum didn't notice Hanzo's approach. When his shadow began to tower over her, she quickly scrambled back. Sand clung to her toes as she tried to right herself. Catching the look her uncle shot her, she felt her insides quiver. Hopefully, she wouldn't be in too much trouble... It wasn't like she had wandered out of pack lands alone.

Inhaling a deep breath, Rheum began picking up the soiled bandages and used ointment. "He saved me," her voice is quiet as she glanced at Hanzo. Knowing it was probably better to let the boy speak for himself in the presence of the Kaicho, she went back to cleaning up the mess. The blood would need to be cleaned up off the sand at some point, but maybe it was better to wait until after the large feline was disposed of.
