Rayne knew that no one could really out run a centaur, so it was not a surprise when Mios had moved in front of her and blocked her path. She stopped in her tracks, fist clenched as she clenched her eyes closed tightly, her face turned towards the ground. She couldn't stop the tears as they streamed down her cheeks, she couldn't even help the feeling of dread in the pit of her stomach. "But....Nia......." she said softly before she hugged herself.

She knew that the male was right, she looked up at him, taken by surprise by how close he was to her face, looking deep into his green eyes before quickly looking away from his gaze. After all she did not want him to see what so many others had seen with in her eyes, she didn't want to seek pity on Nia but merely to see for herself that she was fine. Though she knew he was right.

She was going to reply to her dear friend, though she still did not have a clue on what she was going to say to him, after all she still wanted to see the female centaur. She looked at what appeared to be another human, just a look of shock upon her face. After all here he appeared to be drunk and slept upon the floor of the forest but his assumption was just off the mark.

She could only stand there and stare with a slight dumbfounded look upon her soft and very feminine features. She watched as Artemois tried to intimidate the glasses wearing male. Her mind went back to their conversation to moments ago, her eyes widening a bit. Her blue eyes moving from side to side as if she were searching for something. That was when she felt her self being propelled back towards the direction that he was originally taking her too.

It didn't take long for something to click with in her mind, she had knew she recognized him before, that the feeling of familiarity was rarely wrong and she now knew why she felt that he was familiar. "Mios, please he means no harm and there is no way that he could have been the one to hurt Nia." she said to the blonde male as she moved out of his reach to stand between him and the dark haired male.

After all she did not know if he believed the disheveled male was the one that had hurt Nia and that was why he was trying to protect her from what she may or may not see. Though she could not let him harm one of her only friends outside the village, after all who else will come to her home to eat with her. "He is my friend....."
