[Running footsteps. So far Kurama hasn't encountered anything genuinely threatening, but he's encountered a number of things that put on a show of being threatening.

Which means if someone is running, then either a genuine threat has appeared or they need someone to let them know what's going on here. Either way, good enough reason to intercept.

So he moves through the trees quickly until he sees the girl, slipping out into view and holding his hands up to show that he's apparently unarmed. Another new arrival...]

Are you alright?
