Spirited Away

How he wished he would have paid more attention to the lessons he'd been given about healing. Perhaps then he would not feel so helpless, and would have a better idea of what to do. Adrian vowed to himself then and there, that if he ever had another chance, he would try to learn more about the skill. Right now, he was struggling to think of what else he could do, and it was beginning to worry him. Even as he'd lifted grey-colored female from the water - who was not quite as heavy as she'd first looked, she had not moved or shown a sign of being alive, aside from her breath.

How fortunate he supposed, that he'd come upon her right now. If he'd merely delayed a few moments longer, or taken a different path? He did not want to think about it.

It was still a challenge to get her onto dry land as carefully as he could. Part of his mind was still trying to figure out where she had come from, how she had ended up in the water here. There was no way she could've fallen from somewhere above and survived, he had already decided that. So what other options were there? As he considered the other possibilities, he decided that it almost looked as if she'd been.. attacked, then left to die in the freezing waters. But by who, or what? Should he be concerned for his own safety right now?

Before he could give it any further thought, the lady he carried in his jaws suddenly and rather violently pulled herself away. Adrian remained frozen in his place, as he could do nothing but watch as she coughed up an incredible amount of sea-water. While he assumed that was good, he still wished there was something more he could do. He knew of nothing else that would help, at this point, aside from making sure she was warm and comfortable. At least she was out of the frigid water, and had shown signs of being alive.

Catching a glimpse of her eyes, which had previously always been closed, he discovered they were a magnificent shade of blue, something he had rarely seen. Were it not for the current situation, he might've been more entranced by them. She seemed to see him, if the raspy, weak call for help was any indication. He felt as if he should say something, but he wasn't exactly sure what.

"I'm not gonna leave you." He offered quietly, hoping it would be of some assurance. His eyes looked around the area for anything useful.

There had to be some kind of herb, or plant around here that would be helpful in this time. Perhaps if he spotted something, he could recognize it and bring it back. But Adrian did not exactly want to go looking around in the dark. Especially not if she had actually been attacked, and her attacker was still anywhere nearby. It would probably be better to wait until morning. He had seen a gap, almost a small cave in the rocks just a little ways back that would be good to shelter in until daylight came again. But Adrian doubted she would be able to walk there, and he didn't exactly want to try dragging her again now that she was awake.

The plan would have to stay the same. Now that she was out of the water, the next task would be to have her get dry and warm. Without second thought, he settled himself down beside the grey-furred lady, intending to use the heat from his own body to hopefully help her. "What's.. your name?" He questioned softly. It seemed like a good idea to try and help her maintain her focus by conversing.
