"Speech!"
He knew that she wasn't afraid of a good spar or a little work, he just wanted her to be prepared. Sirius wasn't easy on the students and expected hard work and dedication in return to the lessons they got. It was an honor really, and he wanted to make sure that she would understand and do her part to not make him look bad. Besides, it has been a long time since he's seen his sister. He didn't know what she could and couldn't handle.

She broke away from their hug and her little raccoon returned with something for Daphne to eat. It wasn't ideal, but it was better than nothing. He couldn't expect the small animal to return with a deer after all. When offered the berries, Grim turned his head with a disgusted curl of his lip baring his double fangs as if his puppy teeth had never fallen out.  "No, thank you." Grimshaw had really always favored protein over other options, and even more so now within the armada. Protein was important for muscle growth, berries not so much.

When she brought up the journey to the armada, he wondered a moment. It hadn't taken him long to get here really, but it might be quite the effort for Daphne in her current state. He would suggest to stay here if the conditions were well and dry, however he suspected the other abandoned huts came to the same if not similar fate as the one she had chosen. Their only option was to make the hike to the armada tonight, and as soon as possible. He didn't want to bring her across the borders without first consulting Sirius. "It's not as far as you think, but it will be quite exhausting as your are. If you get weak, I'll carry you, but we need to get you to a healer and get some real food in you sooner rather than later." His voice was level, but authoritative. They couldn't stay here. Daphne rivaled him in height, but she was weak and thin. If she managed the majority of the travel, then he could manage carrying her for the rest if it meant she'd be safe.
