As soon as Dan has enough distance between him and the nightrenders, thanks to Stacia, he pulls around and jumps off the horse, running to the kid and grabbing her in his arms. She thrashes against him at first, and he wishes he had a chance to be comforting instead of just gentle, but a scared kid who's getting tugged around is better than a dead kid, and right now Dan has to choose between the two. He squeezes her in a bear hug as he runs back to the horse, doing his best to keep her stuffed dragon in his arms too.

"Stacia, how fast can you run?" Because this is a retreat mission now. This is escorting a scared civilian to safety and hopefully not taking any more damage in the meantime.
