take the path less traveled

―――― The call for her name was something Rhiannon was now quite used to. Though, she at least had to say she was somewhat glad it was now used in more kindly forms than prior, but the sound of it still made her jolt slightly and disrupt whatever tasks she might have been doing. Did she need help to get into a position where she could contribute? It wasn't that she necessarily needed help, however, it seemed realisitic to assume that it would be much faster to put herself in a position where she would not fall back into being a slave if she had friends and- as much as she would call them 'allies'- on her side. While she did truly have some interest in healing, her knowledge had always been more self-defense based- after all, she had killed her captor, her Master, in order to be free of slavery. Still, she had made no effort to cover her trail, and at the sound of Nina's voice, the snow leopard was quick to turn her path from her leisurely stroll and retrace her steps back towards the woman. "Yes Ma'am?" the answer came promptly, respectfully as she hurried the last few paces, the sand softly shifting beneath her paws as she came to a stop before the woman, doing her best to maintain 'eye contact' in a further show of politeness, even if milky irises were all that would greet Nina's eyes.
