When the new faerie had come, Claudia had moved into a sitting position with her head down and her hands folded in her lap. When the question flew at her she simply shook her head, hoping the other would understand. Claudia listened to the faerie speak with the human who had found her, her thoughts found themselves turning from the conversation to images of her village burning. The faerie shook her head and a small whimper escaped her lips. Her eyes flew open, hoping the other two hadn't heard; she was usually stronger then this! Claudia snuck a peak at the sky when the topic of night came up. Claudia nearly jumped up right then and there when the suggestion of letting this man carry her was mentioned, what kind of faerie admitted that they ever needed help from a human? Not her, no way!<br/><br/>Apollos smiled and bowed his head slightly. "I am Apollos, and I would be happy to help in any way." He moved towards the faerie on the ground but as he tried to pick her up, she seemed to pull away from him. "We're only trying to help and unless you cooperate we can't do that." Apollos spoke gently to her before kneeling and getting a firm hold under her knees and behind her shoulders before standing up with her. Once the faerie had settled into his arms, he turned towards Joy. "Where to? The closest village is about an hour's walk in that direction, maybe forty five in we go quickly." He tilted his head towards where one could see the faint outline of buildings against the setting sun.
