Suddenly, two figures became visible up ahead of Kiht and Andre. She could tell quickly enough that they were not Ixal, but Kiht was not expecting two people. Regardless, she slung her harpoon onto her shoulder. She would not approach them with a weapon in her hands, and potentially scare them.
Once they got close enough, ("the Fates must be jesting...") Kiht thought to herself, and came to a halt. They found Andre's female companion, and Xydane Vale... Kiht felt a combination of shock and resignation to what felt like a huge practical joke at her own expense.
Xydane had a way of showing up when Kiht least expected him. Thanalan, Limsa Lominsa and now the Twelveswood. The man who Kiht saw as a big complication had just entered into the scenario. It was true that he helped Kiht and her friends in the past, but he could have just as easily become an enemy. In her opinion, Xydane would either be a great help, or a path to the Seven Hells.
Kiht hadn't missed the female holding Xydane's hand. It meant she knew him, there was a bond there. The way she regarded Andre, and went straight to him, there was a bond there too. It was possible they all knew each other. Had Xydane been traveling with them? Kiht wondered.
She regarded Xydane. He had some blood on him, but was not wounded. He had killed the other Ixal scout, Kiht was almost certain of it before he even had to tell her. He was well-armed while the other two were not. This was the one oddity she could not solve instantly through quick assessment.
Kiht tried to maintain a serious expression, but some of her shock would show enough in her expression for astute eyes to see. She was no longer very interested in the two unarmed Hyur. Her mind now wanted to know why Xydane was there, and what he would do to either help or hinder her.
"Xydane..." Kiht stated in a clear voice as she locked her gaze on him.
