The kitsune quickly grabbed the girls arm and reeled her back away from the well. Surely the girl would cause serious bodily damage if she went back into the well. Hayami couldn't deny her curiosity and side stepped to peer into the well. There was nothing unusual about the well except perhaps it was dried up. Had this stranger really come from inside the well?
Her attention was drawn back to the others as the kitsune had continued to speak and then introduced himself. He then question who they all were. Did he not recognize the prince? She supposed that that wasn't too hard to believe.
"I am Hayami, I am a servant and healer in the palace." Her voice was soft and quiet and would easily be drowned out if other sounds competed with her. She shifted back to her previous position and picked up her basket full of herbs and medicinal plants. She bowed to those in front of her. She straightened but did not look towards Argyos out of respect. She was a bit unnerved to be in his presence.
She waited and turned her eyes to the girl waiting for her introduction.
