Vivian stared blankly at the man who had just essentially saved their lives. In mere moments, his demeanor had changed from fiery and lethal to cool and almost friendly. She glanced at Jade, who lay unconscious on the ground against the tree.<br/><br/>"Wait." She said, taking a small step forward. "I don't know who you are, or why you helped my friend here, but I thank you for it. She's extremely dear to me, and I can't bear the thought of her loss." She paused, waited a beat for a response. When she received none, she took a step back towards Jade. "Anyways, um, thank for the help. Perhaps in the future I can repay the favor."<br/><br/>She turned back towards Jade and knelt beside her. She didn't appear to be suffering any ill effects from the fall, and looked to be sleeping peacefully. A first, in a very long time.<br/><br/>When she glanced up again, the man was walking away slowly, as though he almost didn't want to go. "Wait!" She called, jumping to her feet. When he turned around to face her, she glanced at the ground, unsure of how to phrase her question. Finally, she took a breath and continued. "I can't get her home by myself, unconscious as she is. I don't suppose I could ask one last favor and get you to help me get her home? It's not far and she's pretty light..." She realized she was rambling and let her sentence trail off.
