Looking after the dark speck that was slowly shrinking against the bright sky, Seren sighed. "I don't know," she answered, more truthful than reassuring. "He's been acting strange for a while now. One moment everything is fine, and the next it's like everything around us is dangerous and scary. This reaction... it's one of the better, honestly." Which did not make it alright, not in the slightest. But it wasn't Harper's fault, and Seren really hoped he understood that.
Turning back to him, Seren pushed the concerns about her dragon to the back of the mind. Her friend was smiling again, boyishly charming as he tried to take her mind off his wounds - but though she smiled back, she was not being fooled. The Wren society was a long walk away, and she could help him now. If only she was allowed to.
"I know you are," she said, and held her hands out for his arm anyway. Palms up, waiting with all the patience in the world. "I was impressed. So much that I'm thinking of becoming a medic too. Even soldiers need tending, right? And I have to learn someday. Better here with you, than alone on some battlefield somewhere, wouldn't you say?" Soft spoken and quiet, she gazed hopefully up at him. Like this was a favor to her, rather than something she was doing for his sake.
