He stays out of her reach, just in case she doesn't remember him.  "I doubt you'd be joking about something like this.  However, something strange is definitely going on, and until we find out what it is, you're just going to have to trust us.  We can help you find familiar people, but right now we have to make sure no-one else loses their memory."</div></blockquote><br/><br/>((Nothing she's saying right now is a joke, for the record. She's freaking out a little.))<br/><br/>Tieh glanced at Caitlyn. "There are wild animals out here. Animals eat things. Something just knocked out somebody's memory. Animals often like confusing their prey before attacking. Therefore, an animal of some sort is probably stalking us. Animals generally avoid poisonous prey. Therefore, if this animal believes that most of us are poisonous, it may leave us alone. Therefore, I'm fixating on the idea of poison persons, because it makes it easier to avoid going completely insane with fear." She managed to keep up the faux-cheerfulness throughout that explanation.
