Pontius looked at the woman even as she looked at him all pissed off, but he didn't give her any ground, but did remove his hand from her shoulder soon enough as he was rather attached to having his hands and didn't want to see it flapping on the floor. "I never said nor hinted that you've grown soft in the slightest way Detta, only that you might wish to be spared killing at least these two so that there's less blood on your hands." he said and the shrugged as he took a few steps away from her, but remained to keep her company until she asked him to get her water.<br/><br/>It wasn't exactly something he was expecting from her, but he nodded his head and moved to go get her a canteen even though she said she would go get a recruit to go get it, walking away to leave her alone for a bit and waved what she said off. He felt that she needed just a little time to cool off and so left the Infirmary to find Randy as she said and got what he was willing to hand over and then soon returned, thrusting the half-filled canteen into her own hands before backing off again. A thought had crossed his mind while he fetched the water for her, but considering that earlier she was more than willing to tear off his own head for touching her, Pontius decided that the idea of having the boy be trained as a scout was a rather foolish thing and put it away into a mental vault to be brought up later when she was in a better mood....if there was ever such a time that she was.<br/><br/>"I have another blade near completion. Once thats done I'll be taking a small break from making anything for a few days, but if you need something specially made I can begin work on it as soon as I can." he said, beginning to take a few steps towards the door to leave the girl be to do her job, but paused to look back over his shoulder to see if she would say anything to him before he did.
