No matter her appearance, he wouldn't hold it against her. There was no judging her current state, as the male could only imagine even a bloke like himself would be no better. The fact that she'd made it to her destination in such troubling conditions was courageous in itself, showing her strong ambition and determination. It was something to be valued, Harvey thought as he held the other close, both pitying her in this situation, and being rather proud of her accomplishments.
He shushed her, but as politely as possible, adding in a soft laugh afterward to reiterate his intent to be gentle. He simply figured she shouldn't try to talk if there was no need; it was required for her to lose what energy she had left trying to respond to the red merle's statement.
A small frown appeared on his face as it seemed Aoves pulled away from his embrace. He never meant to in any way offend or cause disomfort to the female, and his getting wet from her soaked pelt was something he cared little over. He knew soon enough they'd be indoors and able to dry off and warm themselves with covers. He wasn't greatly offended by her actions, but apologetic that he may have been too forward in his helping her.
Not too far off, he could see the abode standing still as ever. Luckily the homes in the Hydrostone District where built somewhat peculiarly, but they held sturdy, especially the livable one that Harvey had been to generously granted. Rio and her kindness ran through his mind, causing him to thank the dark wolf through his thoughts, for without her, they may possibly be caught out in this hellish weather.
Almost, jus' a lil' ways now, love. Harvey nodded, his voice shivering some. I'll 'ave t' give ya the tour of the ci'y when it lets up... Right now, let's jus' get inside.
The entire instance was pressing together as he tried to replay what had happened. It was a chaotic series of events, soon put to ease when he felt the stairs leading to the entrance underneath him.
Never before did the creaking of the steps bring such joy to the Brit! He hurried up the small flight, ushering poor Aoves inside as he swung the door open to their newly shared home.
