Jude
Didn't have a house? Jude knew some nomadic travelers did not have houses, but all of them had been adults; he'd never met a young girl without one. Immediately concerned, Jude steps closer in the snow, and begins to take off his coat. He'd seen his father do it for his maman enough times to know it was polite for a boy to give a girl his coat if she was cold, so he holds it out for her to take.
It's the 'please help' that spurs him, and he nods a little too hard, brain spinning at full speed with a panicked desire to do so. "I have a fort but it doesn't have any firewood, if you wear my coat do you think you will be able to make it to my house?" He knows his mother would be happy to welcome her in, even unexpectedly. "You're not hurt, right?" If she is, Jude isn't exactly positive that he can carry her given he has always run a little skinny in his youth.
