Sable stared up at the girl with the lanterns blankly. Exactly…what was she trying to do? The red-clad assassin figured she was trying to help, but one bear didn’t warrant a danger to her life. Even still, she nodded at the command and leapt up, landing firmly on the tiny platform provided for her.
