Of course the crazy thing thought he had insulted her, he was trying to be a gentleman but then he realized that this girl was completely off her rocker.  Deciding he liked the quirkiness as he regarded her again at her five foot maybe an inch as her hazel eyes regarded him, proceeded to tell him that she didn’t have a lot of alcohol and how to tie a knot in the right way and then move over and like an acrobat resettle her bandages.  Was the wench completely out of her cotton picking mind? Finally she introduced herself and Mitch took a moment and he said to her, “Hello Kalista Komala.”<br/><br/>Introduction done he responded to her next query, “No, however typically people who are burnt as much as you are aren’t resupplying themselves with supplies.  I must say especially on their own in these treacherous woods.  Although, I must admit, you do know the local flora and fauna quite well.”  He looked at the girl and he continued, “Do you eat meat, or are you a vegetarian.”  Having had a little experience with the insane healer type, Mitch was trying to be considerate.  “I have eaten tree mushrooms before, this one in particular is, I agree, delicious.  I could make a fire and we could roast it, or we could find a nice inn and eat there.   I … will treat you if for nothing else then having someone generous enough to look at the minor scratch on my arm.  If you are wanting something with meat, I am not adverse to catching a little something to roast with the mushrooms.”<br/><br/>A little smile creeped up onto his lip as Mitch said, “Or if you’re not wanting to camp out we could head to an inn, I believe we are maybe an hour or two away .. and I could treat you to a cooked meal.  The choice is really up to you, Kalista Komala.  That’s quite a mouthful by the way, do you have a shorter form than that.  I suppose the natural contraction would be Kalis?”  Mitch guessed not knowing at all what a woman would pick.  “You also do realize that this area is infested with bandits, they would take a particular liking to a little thing like you.”  Heck he should but she was a total fruit loop, but it would be nice to have a friend that was loopy.<br/><br/>While he waited for her to respond he looked around and sniffed the air, he knew he could smell something else near by but he knew it was not a predator, definitely a … rabbit or a deer either would do wonderfully, he thought, for an evening meal and he licked his lips as he considered the options before him but then he realized he was being polite and he focused back on Kalista and waited for her to respond with what ever craziness that would be out of left field.  Seriously.  Did he always attract the crazy ones?
