i reach out to my lifeline, the angels laugh in paradise
At the sound of a voice, El immediately wanted to get up and stand at attention. Strangers were dangerous, naturally. But at this point, they were entirely too exhausted to care. Instead of standing, they fell further to the ground, on their side, while the stranger approached them. At least they sounded like they wanted to help. But one could never be sure.
After a couple of moments of catching their breath, El looked up at the person from their very vulnerable position on the ground. They were backlit by the sun, but the edges of their hair looked blonde, almost gold. "No, I'm not alright," they said between heavy breaths. "Do you have water on you?" El had been quite foolish and drank all they had in their waterskin early on since the last refill. Normally they wouldn't just ask random people for water, but this was an extenuating circumstance, to say the least.
