She might need more than a moment, actually. A lifetime... really might not be enough to steady the tremble in her knees, and she took full advantage of the support he offered until she was sure she could support her own weight. Her whole body felt off, hot and heavy in unexpected ways; if this was how he would affect her every day, things might get a bit dicey before she got used to it.

"Good fortunes" she murmured after it rueful if amused that their distraction with one another had saved a life today. "Which way to the water?" It murmured softly in the background, beckoning with promises of cool relief and silvery beauty to stave off a heat that was turning muggy and sticky with the passing of time.
