Yuche was already moving before Rouxi started to fall.
It wasn't the fact that she had tried to kiss the ground with her eyes closed that made him move, it was the moment before it, when she looked up at him with a brief hint of panic in her eyes.
He had seen it before when his men were at their limit, when they couldn't so much as lift an arm, let alone take a swing. So, by the time her knees actually gave out, he had already stepped in close enough to catch her against his chest.
But not everyone was appreciative of his efforts. The baby vine hissed violently at him the moment he touched Rouxi's back.
Yuche looked down at the little monster curled around Rouxi's neck and didn't move an inch. He had seen what it could do to zombies, he wasn't about to bet his life that it was harmless to humans.
