He looked flustered at her gratitude, clearing his throat out of nerves. "It's.. no big deal," he mumbled, acutely aware that she was lingering in his arms without realizing it. The heat was rising in his face, especially since this was such a compromising position. And he was young enough to still be flustered by a girl flirting with him. And while this was not flirting, they were in a rather delicate situation, what with the girl in his arms. Maybe it was a yearling thing, with girls being really foreign. Heck, most of the girls he knew were his sisters.

She finally realized that he still had her in his arms (which were growing sore, but he was not the strongest guy out there), and pulled out of them. His wrist complained a bit but he continued to ignore it. "That's alright." After all, it's not every day you fall into the arms of a dashing knight-to-be. His thoughts were not modest, but his lips were shut tight against the potentially flirty outburst. Silvano did not want to see to be.. hitting on her, not after that. He gave her a slight grin, though he noticed her eyes shift to the tree, and that weasel?, creature.

Disbelief was shining in the boys eyes as he watched her twirl. It was like she was out of some kind of story book, right out of the pages of the tales he had read as a younger boy. Heck, he was just about to ask her if she had popped straight out of a fairy tale, but she continued on. With her arms outstretched, the Sadira youth looked up at the apples in the tree above him. That was it? Just for the sake of some apples? He shook his head, still disbelieving that this was reality. Maybe he tripped and passed out somewhere.

All of a sudden, and in a flurry of blue, the girl was in his face, eying his wrist. Emerald eyes gazed at the bandage and he looked stupidly back up at her. "This?" he asked as he raised his wrist slightly. "Oh no, it's not your fault. I'm fine. It's getting better." It was no lie, but she seemed so concerned; he was touched by her over dramatic mannerisms. He shook the wrist out and bended it; it only protested slightly at the rotation. "See, all fine. No biggie," Their eyes met and the youth felt his face heat up again. Oh for god's sake.. Silvano pushed himself up, getting to his feet. He gazed up at the apples, feeling a stroke of genius.

"I'll get you an apple," he said plainly, striding to the trunk and pulling himself up to the next branch. It wasn't hard, not with all of the trees he had climbed in the past. And he was definitely taller than the damsel in distress. He inched along the branch, more reckless than brisk. With a twist and a pull, the apple was in his hand. Then, sitting down on the branch, he smiled at the girl with the apple in his open hand. "No biggie."
