Thankfully, though the girl accepted his hand, she basically pulled herself up. This avoided any embarrassing tumbling incidents. Now that she was standing, she was a fair bit taller than Kosuke, which brought back a bit more of the intimidation that he'd seen in her eyes to the rest of her presence.<br/><br/>The girl confirmed that she was a merchant, and not only that. "A traveling merchant then," Kosuke said smiling kindly up at her. "I'm a traveler to, but I am a healer, not a merchant. Similar enough though. They both provide a service and they both require skill. I should think now would be a good time to say 'nice to meet you', but I don't know your name yet."<br/><br/>They young man hoped to receive the girl's name and then perhaps to walk with her to town-- if she was going the same way. But he was still curious about some of his questions she had avoided.
