OPEN picture a place where it doesn't hurt

[KNOX.]

From the main island it was hard to miss that there was something happening over on Obsidian Island. Knox stopped whatever she had been on her way to do, watching as who she could only assume to be Vale prodded at something xe certainly would've been better off leaving to someone else. By the looks of the following scene, that is. Her ears flicked back at the distant squawking. Fine, it would poke its nose into someone else's business for just a moment. Swimming across the gap was not hard for her, though it was definitely something she hadn't thought of doing since she'd been a cub. Seriously, why did whoever it was choose the useless hunk of rock out here to drop the basket off at?

Claws extended to give her a better grip on the obsidian ground, the lioness pulled herself up out of the water to now join the other two. She shook herself out, but was not concerned too much with drying off just yet, it would have to get back to the island somehow. Knox looked between Vale and the terrified child, a small frown on her usually expressionless face. She thought back to her rationale with Ryosuke--yeah this would've absolutely terrified her as a cub. There was also a spark of extra sympathy due to the child appearing to be a sort of big cat as well. "You are terrible at this." 

It carefully stepped up beside the basket the raven was perched on, studying the object for only a moment before sitting back and looking toward the child. She thought it better to keep the distance than crowd an already cornered animal. "Lucky I am here now, and I can swim just fine if you send it spiraling into the sea." She let out a quiet chuff, something hopefully comforting to a fellow big cat, "Xe won't hurt you." ....probably. It opted out of that addition, that would certainly add unnecessary terror to the already frightened kid.
