Eight, Trix and Rou save a fleeing boy from a pair of guards.
CW: There is a temporary harm to a horse (later healed) at 5:45 to 5:50 and 34:06 to 34:28. There is also reference to blood/healing wound at 39:36 to 39:52. Please skip these sequences if these would be triggering for you, your safety is very important to us.
The party has realized that two of the riders are guards and they’re chasing a young boy. Trix stops one of the guards by shooting his horse. The second is unhorsed by a daring Rou, who is then forced to grapple with the stranger. Eight, meanwhile, causes the earth beneath them to shift until a wall is erected, stopping the boy from fleeing further.
Trix takes the opportunity to try and get the boy to understand they mean no harm. Eight heals the horse and soon realizes the guard that was downed is dead. Rou attempts to intimidate the remaining guard by letting his wolfish growl out, and at first he seems cowed. However, upon hearing his companion is dead pulls a weapon and prepares to fight.
