He moved to nudge his raven again, and the bird huffed and puffed, finally deciding to attempt to move his wings. They both needed to find shelter before they froze to death, and it seemed that the stranger would be his only lifeline - for now. He decided to relent his instincts and gave his own huff and puff of a sigh as he looked back to the woman. "Then what should I waste my energy on, healer? I'm obviously strange to this land. Are you offering your services?" His throat still burned a bit, but he did his best to push through the rough crackles that threatened to steal his voice altogether.
