alfyn kind of. pauses? when he notices someone dart behind a hiding spot around the abandoned village houses. he's changed his clothes because, ew, thanks delilah, but he stiffly makes his way over. ]
[ a blink, although he pauses afterwards. alfyn sort of regards her for a few seconds, with a small frown, before: ]
It was a castletown with white stone walls, and a big, dead tree. Biggest tree I've seen in my life - but it was dead. Rottin'. And rottin' the town with it.
[well, he is being calm and nice, so she nods a little.]
I didn't think she could do something like this, but I do know her. And that city - that's the city I grew up in. And that tree... I know that tree, too.
The people there, they were scared as hell of her and what she was doin'. I'm... damn, Miss Laudna, I'm sorry that you had to live with that sort of thing over your head.
[ whether he carries her or someone else does, alfyn will be waiting for her to be released from the swamp with a blanket ready to wrap around her for. modesty? comfort? an effort to dry her slightly if she's freshly unswamped?
just the deepest concern in the world. ]
Hey, Miss Laudna, you alright with some company..?
