River whined and shook her head, trying to clear it, but the music seemed to have seeped into her mind.
...now...move...
She shook her head again, pawing at one ear.
Move!
A massive vulpine shape slammed into her from the side, knocking her out of the way of a swipe from a wickedly curved shortsword.
Hanako took her more humanoid shape , ears pressed flat to her skull and her hands pressed over them. She gave Thrax a quick, approving nod, but didn't speak: she seemed to be too busy belting out a bawdy tavern song at the top of her lungs.
And, amazingly, River felt her head start to clear. Enough that she could stagger toward Kahroan, growling, We can't fight like this, we need to fall back.
