Not far from the dorms- Saturday afternoon

[thatwaslucky]

Rey had just had a feeling that something was happening, so she'd gone out armed with her staff. It had started with one of the Brood sleazoids coming after her, only for her to kick, punch, and beat him until he let her go. Then he'd tried again, and she'd done the same, including trying to see if these things had genitals she could kick. (They did not. FYI.) The third time it had tried to tangle with her, she punched it in the eye.

That got it to throw her, probably figuring that she wasn't worth that sort of abuse. She flew, skidding on the ground and hissing because her arm took most of it. And then she bounced back to her feet and charged at the retreating Brood.

This might go on for a while.

[Open if you'd like to help her!]

Hopefully, Rey heard the "Heads up!" before an arrow stuck into one of the Brood she was fighting, helpfully splitting into many pieces that knocked the Brood down, at least for the moment.

"What are you doing out here?" Not that someone wouldn't be asking him the same question, but Kitty's message had only said not to walk the dogs, not to avoid outside altogether.

Kitty had known better, lbr.

"I thought I could help," Rey said. "What are you doing out here?"

[so_hawkward]

"Helping," Clint said. He fired another arrow into... well, what he figured was the Brood's head, to keep it down. "Trying to make sure students stay safe. Is that thing any good against these guys?" he asked, motioning to her staff.

"It's not the best, but I was doing pretty well with it," Rey told him. "Their skin is generally tough, you're going to want to be good with those arrows."

[so_hawkward]

Clint grinned at her. "I'm more than pretty good, don't you worry," he said. "If I tell you to get back inside, you're not going to listen are you?"

[thatwaslucky]

"No, of course not," Rey said immediately, shaking her head. "But I can help you if you'd like."

[so_hawkward]

"How about I help you instead?" he said, looking her up and down. "I'm Clint, I teach at the school sometimes."

[thatwaslucky]

"Rey. Is this going to have to be a thing where we just team up and no one helps anyone?"

She didn't know what to do if someone asked if she was okay, knowing how to accept help was beyond her.

[so_hawkward]

"I suppose that would be fair," Clint said. He very much understood how weird accepting help was. "Did you have a plan besides pushing these guys back as much as possible?"

[thatwaslucky]

Rey nodded. "Pretty much. Also to beat them until they stop moving. Do you have a better one?"
