Once they are through the portal and looks around, curious as to what this new world is and how it looks.  When no immediate danger shows itself he kneels down and lays her on the ground.  He keeps her in his strong, warm, arms as he is about to ask the cat a question.  He looks back down as Esmeralda wakes and begins chastising her cat.  For his part he doesn’t know what to do.  He gives her a pleasant smile when she looked at him as he continues to hold her.  After listening to her prediction of what had happened he looks back up to the cat and says, “No…that’s about all that happened.  I don’t know about the illusion, but I’ve seen so many strange things since that arrow hit me, I really couldn’t judge such a thing.”<br/><br/>He looks back down to her with real concern on his face.  “Are you alright?  Your cat tells me your name is Esmeralda.  My name is Richard.  Thank you for saving me.  I’m forever in your debt.”
