Eye of the Tiger

Sota was glad for the company, and seemed almost relieved when she admitted she didn't mind him tagging along. Good! He felt the strain already beginning to work through his muscles as he climbed the stairs, having to work a bit harder than her to keep up, thanks to his shorter legs. That didn't deter him though, especially since he knew exercise and working his legs was necessary to keep himself in shape. It'd been a long while now since his leg had broken but he knew it was more prone to injury now, and staying in optimal shape would help. "I wouldn't mind that at all!" Sota accepted her invitation gladly, beaming at her. He was falling a bit behind, but giving his best effort to keep up with her. He'd long since decided he didn't make the best scout for herbs himself, but he could certainly help escort her and even carry back whatever she found. If anything he knew he made decent company, as long as his company was wanted. Once the reached the top of the stairs he paused, letting her head the way down before following back into the courtyard.
