Her thoughts and speech became more composed as she allowed him to inspect her injury, lifting her head and taking a seat.

Andr was no medic. If her injury had been severe the most he could do would have been to inform her of it, or try and get help. Though that would mean abandoning her out here. An image of the dark cloudy sky female alone on the rock flashed through his mind.

No. He thought to himself. He needed to be present. Looking to Fleurette his worries subsided. As he moved closer to her he gently pressed his nose beside the injury to gauge its depth. It was more surface level, it hadn't penetrated through the muscle and no vein had been severed.

His touch against her was warm. Despite his moist nose and the chill in the air, he could feel the frost running through her. Her skin was tight against the feminine curves of her neck. Was that due to her positioning or a lightened weight... Goodness, how long had he been staring...

"... Yes, well..." he stammered clearing his throat and taking a step back. "It appears to be superficial... Thankfully."

His embarrassment quickly subsided as he heard the sound of her stomach rumbling. Which only deepened a pit in his.

She accepted his offer of an escort to warmer surroundings, but he mind would not allow him peace knowing her stomach was empty. "Would you allow me a moment before we depart?" he asked kindly.

He walked over to one of the pools and as he glanced over his shoulder he could see she was following behind. He locked his eyes onto the water and followed as life twisted and turned within. She spoke to him as he did asking about fixers of the mind and body.

Had he come across someone like that in the past? Surely he mu... Splash! His body lunged into the water and submerged his head. Thrashing about under the water. Then stillness. 

Slowly he pulled his head out of the water and locked in his jaws was a fish. A fish that was just slightly too big to be called small, but something.

He lightly shook his head free of loose water. Careful not to spray his new follower. Without skipping a beat he turned to her and gently placed the fish before her. Licking the blood from his lips before speaking. "Would you allow me some time to think it over? I'm sure we'll find someone... but first. Shelter and... a meal. Or rather a snack for now, until I can find you something more suitable." he finished gesturing to his catch before her.
