She may be friends of the witchy woman. Hooter whispers.
"Or it's a trap, the treats could be poison! Someone try them."
Hooter will fly out of cover. Any rolls necessary?
Columbine hops out and the maiden looks at the rabbit.
The woman says something to the rabbit and strokes Columbine's fur in a gentle way. She is still sobbing.
Hooter, his wing restored, flies up and isn't noticed.
Columbine nudges the human girl and turns to talk to the others.
"Her eyes leak, just like the witch when she was sad. I do not think she means us harm, but the noise she makes I cannot understand..."
The woman rubs her eyes of tears, and starts to pat Columbine. She then reaches out and picks up Columbine from the ground.
Columbine tenses as she gathers him up, but she is gentle and his memory goes to those times the Witch would hold him and rub his head. The tension leaves his body and he burrows slightly closer to the human.
"Maybe she can help us! I wish we had a way to speak with her!"
"I can't do that, but if she starts squeezing you, I can light her on fire!"
He beams, thinking that he's actively helping Columbine.
The lady puts Columbine in the basket and stands up.
Hooter flutters around, staying a safe distance away and generally just keeping watch.
Is this campaign still going?
The lady starts walking away with Columbine in the basket towards the village.
