The way he took to helping the boy up himself made her feel safer walking by his side. Though the way the boy lost color stirred up many questions. Mostly, what had he said? She didn't turn her back to them once as she didn't trust that they were really going until the were long gone.<br/><br/>She sighed at the question given to her. She didn't think her answer would please him either way, but she gave it. "I'd like to think... that if I am kind to people, one day they'll return the favor." She shrugged and walked on. "Please... don't thank me." She asked. As somehow, gratitude always made her feel guilty. She never felt she deserved it. She stopped and turned to face him when he asked her if she wanted to keep his company. "I rather you didn't. I get enough attention as is... I really don't wish to... further it." She said as she turned back to where she was walking.<br/><br/>Then she turned straight back again. "Oh." She lifted the jacket up off her shoulders, folded it and held it out to him with both hands. "Might I ask for my things?" She gulped and bit the inside of her lip.
