uh oh spaghettios!

Rheum had heard rumors about the Pirates and their shenanigans. That they weren't exactly to be trusted. Apparently, two of them had come to Tojo-kai's borders to harass them at one point. Not that they got far! Her uncle and half-brother were formidable fighters and she never once felt to be in danger. Yet, as she spent time with Modesty, Scald, Deluge, and Sakana traveling around Auster for a little bit, she wondered if the rumors were true. Maybe it was just a few Pirates that were nasty and not all of them.

Even as her yellow gaze assessed the burly boy standing in front of her, she wondered if maybe the others had simply not taken the time to get to know them. Surely if all Pirates were bad, the boy standing before her wouldn't be offering to help her. How could she deny it? The snow that fell around them made the rocks slippery and her coat wetter than it would be if she were moving constantly. Adjusted to the warm and balmy weather of southern Auster, she was not pleased to be shivering constantly. It was now or never. Risk dying and not making it home.

"Ah why thank ya," she says, a shy smile hesitant on her lips. A second or so passes before Rheum leans against his shoulder. "I s'pose introductions are in order. I'm Rheum," she mentions as she tilts her chin up to get a better look at him. Undeniably, his bulk was far warmer than the icy rocks near the stream. It felt nice and she even began to press her cheek against the thick fur around his neck as they slowly made it over to the cave.
