Orri was being vague and cryptic as usual. It was hard to say if these beliefs helped return the man's strength or not. There had been plenty Arjan had seen that he couldn't fully explain. In this case, he hoped Orri exhausted himself for no change at all. Arjan could<i>bring</i>the water. It would do no good if the man couldn't swallow. The surgeon he knew would have had no issue. Arjan was not as skilled yet some part of him was interested in experimentation. It could help others, potentially, though he'd never successfully attempted what he was thinking at Orri's pushing.<br/><br/>“Okay,” Arjan said, agreeing in that mild way of his. He remembered something like this being done with a bit of tubing but he could think what he might have on hand to use instead. He settled for a bit of hollowed out bamboo but upon putting it to application he found that even in that unconscious state some reflexes such as swallowing seemed to work. In that case, he had Rhiak help him set the man upright where Arjan tipped his head back and funneled small sips of water towards the back of his throat with the bamboo. He could have drowned the man fairly easily if he overwhelmed him he was sure. After they'd gone he considered it. It didn't take much water in the lungs for infection to set in. It was something he wouldn't be able to combat in his already weakened state. Some part of Arjan worried it would come back on him. Orri might be able to guess he was malicious and that would be the end of whatever peace he'd cultivated on the outskirts of that private village. He wasn't ready to start over so he left it up to the stranger's reflexive ability to swallow small amounts at a time. He had enough stacked against him that he wasn't sure it would be enough.<br/><br/>Rhiak followed Orri out at his prompting, mounting onto his horse. It was adorned with leather saddle along with various hunting equipment. He favored his bows and arrows but he could be handy with a spear as well, his weapon of choice if he were put on the defensive. He fell into pace behind the two-spirit who obviously had an idea of where he was going, that or he was simply allowing his horse to pick the path. He could never be sure with Orri.<br/><br/><br/>That they would be going into Sansura's territory didn't sit well with him but he wouldn't question it. It was generally off limits to most of the hunters and Rhiak wasn't so ambitious to think he could bring down the beast. Orri wouldn't wish it even if opportunity presented itself. He would not challenge her should they cross paths but he would see Orri protected throughout his task. Unlike Arjan he didn't question the cryptic's ways though he couldn't hope to guess what he was after with this one.<br/><br/><br/>“For however long you need,” Rhiak assured.
