Not another rabbit, but rather a teenage boy in a sharp looking military uniform was making his way up the stairs. He'd seen the signal fires from the deck of the ship, so after the landing party had arrived he'd taken it on himself to search out whoever had set them. The trail to the tower had been simple to follow and a deliberate trap seemed highly unlikely, so he assumed that he'd be faced with someone in need of rescue. Whether or not he'd offer it depended on whether he felt it was worth his time.

He didn't bother to try to hide his presence as he climbed the tower stairs and had only managed a few steps before the inhabitant of the tower rushed out. She cut an impressive figure, but even with the advantage of higher ground and longer reach, he didn't estimate her as much of an opponent. Bullets were expensive in this place, but he wouldn't need more than one if it came to it.

"Do you want to leave this island?"

No sense in prolonging things unnecessarily.
