Several girls see him, he's not hard to miss, but in the excitement as one side starts to get an advantage on the rope - the yelling increases - Guts goes largely unacknowledged at first. Largely.

Galli looks more robust not soaked to the skin and lit only by blue witchlight, though right now there's drying mud all along one side of her face so she's not totally unrecognizable. She's a big, sturdy, round-cheeked girl, maybe half an inch shorter than Guts is, and when she approaches him she laces her dirty fingers together to keep from fidgeting.

"Hi. Um, I'm sorry about yesterday, and... thanks for helping that old woman out." That last part is in a lower voice, a tone adjacent to bafflement. "I didn't mean to be out that late and I wasn't expecting anyone to come looking. It's... why did she do that? She doesn't know me!" Definitely bafflement.

There is also a much smaller girl with a very worn rag doll, but she doesn't have any commentary, just watches him as unblinkingly as a cat. Probably picking her nose.
