"Is she?" Rue responded in surprise. Her voice was starting to sound a little feeble-- digesting all of this news was taking a significant amount of energy. 

Even seeing the change in Figment right before her eyes, Rue couldn't reconcile the discrepancy between the little blonde, blind puptato and a fully grown, fully-fledged healer.. particularly one who was deserving of the title of witch. It just didn't compute.

The Redhawk duo probably would have allowed Rue to join them if she asked, but she knew her pace would feel excruciatingly slow for them. "Just point me in the direction of the Caldera, and I'll be on my way."
