8/10

Asa was simply content on suckling the fruit to extract it's juice before chewing on it when he was offered the flask. His golden eyes widened a bit before softening as his hand reached out for it. She may not have met his gaze, but her posture said everything.

Naturally he was inclined to refuse Kise's offer. He really didn't want to trouble them, especially since they should be focusing on Terrwyn's recovery, and yet... "If it wouldn't be too much trouble I would appreciate it. Sev is usually good about making sure I get back to my partner just fine, but the added assurance would be nice." Looking down at the flask in his hand caused Asa to take as deep a breath as he could before looking back up at the pair. It wouldn't do to say too much, lest he drag them into his problems, so when he looked up his smile was back in place, if not a little more resigned than before.

A noise at his side drew his attention to the raptrix who had since raised her wing and was chewing at the fur just under it. She was certainly a lovable thing, but...not the brightest.

"If you'd like your party can camp with us tonight. It's just my partner, myself and our sons. They're small so it wouldn't be the quietest, but I could offer another round of cleansing before you leave in the morning."

So Asa accepted the offer. Terrwyn wasn't upset by this in the least, though something the healer said made her turn her head to look at him again. This time she took a minute to speak and when she did it caused everyone in her party to go absolutely still with wide eyes. The reason..?

"... Everyone. You will never mention this healer to anyone. You did not meet him or his family." Her voice had been loud enough to reach the ears of each member of her party but she was looking at Asa the whole time. Her tone was firm and gave no room for argument from anyone with her.

Kise stared at the teen with the biggest eyes of all, save for maybe Gilda. "Of course Miss Terrwyn, none of us will mention it." He didn't know the reason and he didn't ask, he just accepted it.

In a softer tone, more her usual, she spoke to Asa again. "I am Terrwyn Kavensei, an illegitimate daughter. If you and your family ever need help.." She paused to give him a knowing look. "You may seek me out. It will be my payment to you since my coin was denied." So it seemed the teen could speak in full sentences she just chose not to. After that she moved so that she could take her small knife from her boot and work on cutting her leggings properly so that she didn't just have a giant rip on the one side.

Kise looked from Terrwyn to Asa with a disbelieving look before he smiled at the healer. "You also have my help if you ever need it." He wasn't sure what had happened in the small amount of time to make the young teen offer such a favor but he wasn't going to say anything about it.

9/10

Asa sat back and really took in the moment. He was...being protected? Of course he'd known there would be a risk to telling her even the slightest bit of information, but in all honesty he hadn't expected things with Terrwyn to go beyond that. She seemed like such a defensive young woman that he'd done his best to respect that and now...now he couldn't help feeling grateful.

An illegitimate daughter. A b*****d, as his father would say. Her bearing wouldn't have given anything away if she hadn't say anything, and as telling as her behavior might have been Asa wouldn't have guessed it either. He was a submissive soul, prone to buckling under intense pressure, so he understood fully what it was like not to be the picture of an elite bloodline.

"My name is Asa Sargsyan, and I am the heir to the Sargsyan dynasty." He neither sat up straighter upon the admission nor did he seem anymore proper than he already was. Asa's generalized exhaustion when it came to his family went far further than any physical ache. "I am believed to be dead so for the sake of my family I would prefer to keep it that way."

Taking a deep breath, Asa tucked his legs underneath himself and tiredly pushed himself up. Sev seemed to sense the change in atmosphere because she started to rise as well. The raptrix gave a little 'harumph', almost as if she was resentful of the fact she had to move again, before shoving her cold nose into Asa's side. "Yes, yes, I know. You're hungry." He gave a soft little laugh and patted the great beast on the head.

As she got a full introduction into who Asa was she finished up cutting her leggings so that they were equal lengths on both legs. Terrwyn looked at him with a small smile and nodded her head. "And you'll stay that way." There was no way that she or anyone in her party would rat the man out. Those with her had been hand picked by her because she trusted them not to report every little thing she did back to Merle. So if she wanted to extend her trip by a day or two and claim it was due to her prey going farther than she thought it would no one would rat her out.

Her knife was put back and then she got up as well. With the little bit of healing she'd gotten it didn't hurt as bad to put weight on her leg. When Kise tried to help her she swatted him away and motioned for him to help the healer instead. She still had a good leg to put most of her weight on after all and Asa was exhausted.

Kise chuckled before he moved toward Asa. "Do you need any help packing things up before we go?"

FIN

That statement alone was enough to bring some semblance of peace to Asa's heart. He wasn't nearly as worried about being found out these days as he had been initially, but his father's reach was vast and that bit of security helped. It was strange, for the scion of a bitter dynasty to be chatting so amicably with someone else and someone who didn't seem to like talking at all! It felt...nice just to be able to make that kind of positive connection.

Terrwyn may have been secure enough in her physical abilities to shirk away the help, but Asa wasn't. He took it gladly. "No, I'm fine, there isn't much." In all honesty getting the blanket secured back onto Sev would be the hardest task and even that wasn't difficult. She may have been dim witted, but the raptrix was well behaved. Once he'd steadied himself Asa set about getting things ready and soon enough they were on their way back 'home'.

Hopefully Ygraine wouldn't mind having a few friends around the campfire tonight.
