However, his lovely wife is arriving, too. She looks paler than normal, and tired. "Hey, Ahi'i," she calls to the tiny girl, and flips her one of the shiny coins left behind by the murdered drug provider. Automatically, she raises her hand to catch it, and Kanu has her, twisting and writhing, trying to spell cast, claw, bite, or whatever. Syura, the witch-woman, coming up from behind, binds the vicious... teen?... how old is she really? Not that it matters, especially not at the moment.

There she is! She's shed her black robes and is trying to mingle with the other girls. But she is only about 4'8", so she's easy to spot if you're alert and focused, which some of the hysterical teens, admittedly, are not. Wondering idly if this is Ahi'i herself, Kanu, visible now, bounds after her. And he discovers that, although her legs may be short, she's as fleet as an antelope, and delights in tripping other young people and shoving them into his path. Syura is finishing her combat.

The two figures in black who were in the grotto slosh out into the open, spluttering and angry. They don't even bother with floating. Kanu conks one on the head and gags and ties the other so fast that he barely even knows what happened. Then he throws the two of them up on top of a little rise so that they don't end up face down in even the shallowest water. Syura has waded into the fray, and is taking on two of them at once, batting away their spells like biting flies. Where is the third?

As a guardsman, he was trained on pursuing a malefactor through a crowd of civilians, but Kanu would still prefer not to have a group of befuddled and milling teens to have to deal with. It is much better to get them out of the way and safely back to the village in as quick and orderly a fashion as possible. And, as though on cue, here comes the water! It has calmed from its initial burst of roiling and churning, but it still carries leaves and twigs and mud. However, it is quite effective!

The warrior shifts periodically to keep his legs from going numb, and does his best to keep track of the robed gliders. Two retire to a concealed grotto, probably to sleep and be called on later during the night or at need. The stars barely have time to wheel before he becomes uncannily aware that his mother has taken up her position on the valley's lip, though she dares not come closer until the sleepers are wakened. Several responsible adults have been selected to direct traffic flow later.
