Her head snapped around to look at him, looking startled at first so he did his best to look as friendly as possible though it was something that the usually stoic male over struggled with. Apparently whatever attempts he had made were useless because she tried to stand quite quickly and ended up slipping. The audible ouch that accompanied the sound of her body thudding against the ground made him stiffen and quicken his pace. Had he startled her into hurting herself further? Worry was evident on his features when he finally came to stand over her, once more asking if she was okay. She didn't look hurt, not huge wounds, bumps or abnormal shapes to her that might suggest broken bones. That at least was a relief. But when she did reply she confirmed that she had in fact hurt herself. "I apologize, i really didn't mean to scare you." He was frowning now, disappointed that he had in fact been the one to escalate the situation and in the end the reason she had hurt herself.

"Is there anything I can do to help? I have a basic knowledge of herbs..." He trailed off as he realized once again that yes he did know what herbs could help her but he didn't know where to find them in this particular area. Maybe they could find them together if she wanted to spend that much time, he knew the area around Glaciem better at least and it wasn't super far away. Before he could ask if she would she introduced herself and he returned her smile easily. "A pleasure Azalea, I'm Vixe." he replied, words coming a bit easier now. He had always been rather polite to everyone except his mother, quiet of course but polite none the less. In Glaciem it was easy to revert into calling everyone ma'am and speaking formally seeing as it was pretty much a job requirement for him.

"My father used to tell me it was tiny plants that did that, that they reacted to the heat that our bodies give off. Then my aunt would tell me that they were tiny sprites that were trapped in the ice by Skoll for trying to steal our life force and that the lights are them trying to reach for us, gathering beneath our paws." he said, understanding that he probably sounded fairly crazy. But he lifted his shoulders easily and smiled down at her. "I suppose it depends on what you believe... What do you think it is?" The question was simple, he was a fairly logical male, preferring his fathers explanation but something about the way his aunt viewed the world left a bit of mystery and allure to the world in his mind. Maybe she would like his aunt's story better, and seeing as he had no way to disprove his aunt unless he wanted to dig it up and see if she was wrong or right. On the off chance she was right he might be releasing some awful things on this world...
