True to his word the bard stayed where he was, in the entryway of the Spire, dry and out of the rain while Melinoe stayed put and got soaked. Watching her struggle to move was hard enough, and he winced internally as she battled her wounds - and her pride - to make her way unaided into the shelter of the Spire. She seemed to determined to ignore him, but he felt no such compunction not to study her as she gathered herself to her feet, taking note of her various injuries and passing the time by mentally cataloguing what he would need to do to bind and stabilize them. The head trauma and the gut wound were the trickiest. He couldn't do much for either out here, so they'd be making a slow, painful trip to the Infirmary once the rain passed.
It promised to be painfully unpleasant for both of them, though the girl far more than him. And it meant he wouldn't be getting out to see Rory today after all.
Blasted conscience.
He raised a single pale brow as she gathered her dignity about herself, as haughty as any spoiled princess in her castle, and though her words were phrased as a request they lacked courtesy... and she still hadn't given her name. "You mean the dagger you attempted to stab me with a few minutes ago? No, I do not," he responded, drily amused. "But it will still be there when the rain stops and we can get it then. Assuming you haven't bled out by then. What happened to you?" His curiosity was eating him alive, though if she'd arrived by portal, her recent past was likely a moot point.
