Needless to say Nightmare was caught by surprise. Her eyes went wide as the little fox started hugging and talking profusely, much in a way she would expect of Kaida.

"U-um, well, here are the maps, everyone! D-don't want to get lost, right? Okay, uh, one for you..."
She began passing them out, already seeming to take the role of the ringleader... Again, and much to Nightmares chagrin. "There she goes again..."
She made her way to Rick, noticing that he obviously seemed upset. "H-here you go..." She handed him a map with a shaky paw. I-I haven't seen you introducing yourself yet... I'm K-Kaida..."
