Kit had already witnessed things that frightened her far more than this creature. War. Death. Cruelty. Beings that reveled in the suffering of others, or callously disregarded it. True monsters, without any magical excuses for their nature.
The creature on the other side of the mist was frightening and ugly, and not without things he needed to answer for. But Kit couldn't bring herself to call him a monster. Maybe he would prove her wrong later. But until then, she couldn't just allow him to suffer if there was something she could do.
"Maybe the Hollow Lady told him," Kit said settling back on the rock. "Or someone else that speaks their language did. Or maybe he can just feel it somehow, 'cause of his instrument."
Kit took a deep breath. "I'm going to get a little bit of it and see if that's what he really wants," she said. "And if it is, I'm going to put some in the stream and send it out to him. He might have done bad things before, but I think he's suffered enough to pay for them, and I can't just leave him there like that if there's something I can do."
"If you guys want to help me, you can," she said, "I'm doing it because I think it's the right thing to do, but if you don't, I won't make you. I just know... I can't let fear keep me from doing what I think is right. That's not what Thundercats do."
"So I'm gonna go get the hair now," Kit said. "'Scuse me." She bowed slightly in both Orcelito and Fuu's directions before flying off towards where they'd stored the hair.
