Eric followed along quietly. He could imagine how she felt. Or rather how she felt since the first time her husband hit her. He'd witnessed it far to many times, and had himself felt the wrath of a weak minded man. In his case it was his father. So he knew that there were no words he could say to console her. So, the mountain followed along behind her quietly. He didn't look around at the house to take in its grand nature. Well grand to him anyway. His childhood years were spent either living out of cars, or in tiny apartments. But none of that mattered right now.<br/><br/>He didn't even respond when she spoke to him, he just smiled and nodded to let her know he wasn't in a hurry. It seems that he did have a working mouth filter, or rather it was working at that moment because there were several smart comments that he wanted to make. But figured she would appreciate them right now. It wasn't until they made it outside that he finally spoke and reached out to carefully take her bag from her. He quickly unlocked one of the hard saddle bags on his bike and put it in with the odds and ends that he always carried. Maps tools. Simple things he believed every bike should always have. "There,," He said as he latched the lid of the saddle bag. "Good thing Bout dressers. They don't look as good smooth and clean as a bobber or chopper but they can haul a lot more." He urged her round to the side of his bike and pointed at the flat floor boards where she could rest her feet while they rode and said. "Not that I minded ya legs round me, but ya can out yer feet there. More comfortable for ya that way, and that touring pack's backrest ain't going nowhere so ya can lean as hard as ya want against it.  Had one gal fall asleep on a ride with me once,  so ya got nothing to worry bout." He then straddled his seat and stood the bike up off its kickstand and said. "Put ya left foot on the floorboard and kick ya leg over like getting on a horse. Then just sit back and enjoy the ride. Less ya liked leaning against me. Either way you'll do fine."
