The woman's horrified expression wasn't lost on him. His eyes narrowed minutely as he studied her. If she'd left the grip of the Abraxas on relatively good terms his presence shouldn't have been so horrifying, should it? While he'd been only semi interested in helping the stranger originally, he was certainly invested in the situation now. The whole possible fugitive situation took a backseat as Lydia began to poke around the patient. He didn't know her well, but she didn't strike him as the type to abandon someone in need. If he had his guess she'd stick around until the patient was out of the woods or knocking on death's door. She took charge of the situation - something he was perfectly fine with since they both knew she trumped him in experience - and asked if he'd help her move the patient. He nodded and was on the verge of grabbing hold of the man when he suddenly come around and started to put up a fight. Malleus was tempted to pin the man down and make him behave, but Lydia took a gentler approach. Coolly he regarded the man as he glared up at him. Although Malleus said nothing his gaze promised hellfire if the man directed abuse Lydia's way again. In response to Lydia's question Malleus shook his head. "I'm not familiar with this area, but I'll have a look around." Perhaps he should have been worried that Lydia might bolt, but he honestly doubted she would. If she did, she wouldn't have much of a head start and he had no problem leaving the mortal man to succumb to the venom in pursuit of her. --- He wasn't normally a fast moving creature, but knowing time wasn't on his side sped him up a bit. In no time at all Malleus came back with a huge bundle of plants. He'd picked pretty much every medicinal plant the nearby lake area had to offer. "I have boneset, which might help with the pain and I've heard its been used on snake bites, and I have valerian," perhaps its sedative properties would help the man, "Cannabis," similar idea, "Marigold, meadowsweet, and whole dandelion." He shrugged apologetically. "There doesn't seem to be much out this way." |
