Still, they were no longer an immediate concern, to Nita's relief. A few quiet words in the Speech, and a little more oxygen surrounded her, allowing her to chance opening her eyes against any lingering spray.

/Wait, were't there- oh,/ Nita said, taking in the Hound.

/Thanks for the assist, Cousin. Unplanned as this all was./

A wry smile came to play on her lips as Nita said that last part.
