Raphael noticed that even though Lamia was struggling to carry her things, she wasn't asking for help. He didn't want to forcefully help her, so he decided to talk to her instead, "Lamia, it looks like you are having difficulty carrying your things. I would be happy to help, and me helping you would not show weakness on your part. You are strong, but I do want to help you if helping will make things easier for you. If you really want to carry all your stuff though, I won't stop you. I just want you to know that I want you to ask for help if you need it, and if you ask, I won't think less of you or think you weak." Done with his short monologue, Raphael moved outside the cave. The sun was hanging low in the sky. He noted that sunset would soon begin. They would need to keep a fairly good pace to get back before it was dark enough to be dangerous outside the village.
