"I honestly have to say I don't know what you mean by crimes being down, where I'm from everyone usually kept to themselves unless something important needed to be discussed." Thinking over his offer on the tutors she's not sure if it would be a good idea for her to have strict tutors, or at least not in the beginning anyways. What with how her emotions get out of control and everything. "We can talk about the tutors later. And you're partially right about that. There are times where small piles of boulders have caves hidden under them from water eating the ground under it. And I think you should approach first..." She drops back a few paces, not wanting to get in his way with talking to people.

Hearing a low growl on the side of the road, she sees some kind of giant creator heading towards Akio. "Look out!" Without thinking she creates an ice barrier with icicles forming spikes along it, the creature impaling itself on them as it lunges towards Akio. The barrier disappears and the dead creature drops to the ground not far from Akio. It's form is much like a wolf's but three times the size and what looks to be a bone deformation along its back. Tabitha falls to the ground, shaking in shock.
