How do I keep myself from fallin' apart when I ain't never felt part of a whole?
Up in the sky and half-buried in her animal brain, things are a little easier to focus on. Deimos being the one to relay the information through the Attuned bond only makes it even simpler; with all the history between them, even her shifts register him as family, and working alongside him is as easy as breathing.
The corpse is easily visible from above, but she disregards it. Deimos had told her four, so where - and then she spots the last man. Curled and cowering on a rock in a way far too similar to how Hotaru had been what seems like moments ago. Found the fourth. He's on a rock - I'll get him. None of her magic is useful for such an endeavor, but she can freeze the mud with her projectiles and help him across to solid land. Right now, she'd rather do this alone.
Circling closer until she can ease onto the rock and transform, the first thing Ru does is reach for the any part of the man she can touch. "Relax. Trust me." Her compulsion magic flows easily, hoping to have prevented startling the man and ensure he doesn't topple off the rock.

Ru reports back the fourth man and descends, using her Compulsion magic to try and keep him calm so she can coordinate getting him to land.
