Well, it probably would have been smarter to run the other way. But she unwisely went to see what the fuss was, and found an unarmed young man being attacked by a group of men with guns. He was holding up alright at first, but it was obvious that he'd be soon overwhelmed.
So she decided to intervene - and called on more of the wind than she ever had before. And it responded so much to her urgency that, for the first time ever, the wind was strong enough to lift her up until she found that she could fly! [ It's such a fond memory, her first flight, that the actual wind around the bonfire picks up, flicking through their hair and clothes. ]
From then, it was a simple matter of working with the young man to dispatch of the attackers until they left them alone.
And when the sand settled and cleared, she asked for his name - and discovered that she had in fact saved a young prince from another land. [ She smiles, then, thinking of how T'Challa told this story a little differently. But she knew what she remembered. ]
... That is a story for another day, however, and would take several more hours to tell.
