He watched as the woman tried to piece herself together. He knew that she must be a mix of emotions right now and he stayed quiet, knowing he wouldn't want someone chattering a mile a minute when he was trying to pick himself off the floor after a beating. He looked the other way as he saw the pain she was in, yet she was too stubborn to admit it even. She sure reminded him of someone he knew too damn well. A slight grin tried to creep upon his lips as he shook his head.
When Geneva spoke he glanced back to her, a more leaderly look upon his face as she explained just what had happened. He shook his head at the words, not liking the whole situation one bit. "We'll have to keep a closer watch on the borders.. and on Addison." He didn't want to think what would happen if the little girl strayed past the edge of the packlands and the heathen found her out there. He shuddered at the thought and lifting his frame off the ground as the woman made to move.
Almost as soon as he'd started to move along the way he stopped when he noticed the sudden change in the woman when he spoke of walking her back to the cottage. He eyed her for a moment quietly as she tried to talk her way of out getting escorted. He shook his head once more and spoke, trying to strike up a deal with the woman, and atleast know that she was smart enough to get herself tended to. "How about you head along the way and I'll catch up with you there then.." he tried to make it look like he had other things to do as he went on. "Besides, I want to make sure that beast is really gone." He wondered if she'd see through his coverup or if she would just let it be and go on alone. He knew he'd keep his promise and check in on her, she couldn't hide in these lands from him.
