Loneliness Lingers

Zuriel's ears flicked back against her skull and she took a hasty step back from the stranger as he exclaimed something about killing someone. Perhaps this wouldn't be as simple as helping someone to some shade and maybe finding them some water. He didn't seem to be any taller than her, but he was a good bit bulkier than she was and she was not a fighter by any means so she didn't feel like she could successfully fight him if he attacked her, even if it was in delirium. Soon though he seemed to stir and his eyes opened. Her brows lifted with surprise as she noticed the heavy scarring around his eyes and the missing eye on one side. She wouldn't be surprised if his one yellow eye was blind as well. After tending to her father with similar wounds for so long it wasn't too much of a shock. It just added an extra layer of concern and intrigue to this whole odd situation. She couldn't simply leave him though. She just didn't have it in her to do that. "Sir?" she tried once again. Her tone held more bit more concern and was more hesitant than before. "My name is Zuriel. I'd like to help get you to some shade if that's okay." She'd wait to see if he had any objections and if there was none she'd make her way over so that she was standing along his right side. "I'm going to push up on your right shoulder, okay? You can lean on me." She crouched down and used her own shoulder and hip to push up on him, using her legs to help him get to his paws. She wasn't strong enough to carry him, but she could help get him across the dozen feet to the shade of one of the odd rock formations ahead of them. "Come on, it's not far." |
