Stubborn was a good word for her. He'd have to speak up sooner or later or she was going to put him into a coma from eating. Not to admit the thought was such a bad one, it wasn't like any harm would come of it, he'd just be reluctant to move for a while. Either way she seemed to be ready so there was no use in trying to do or say anything about it now.
No for now he was just going to follow her seeing as she seemed to want him to. Probably for the best, it wasn't like the whole village didn't know where he was staying, and being here alone would only encourage someone to try something stupid. Probably more stupid on their part then anything seeing as he could defend himself even in his current state. Though it wasn't something he was willing to try out by far... he'd rather stay his distance from anyone else in this village and he'd rather they do the same.
Once they were outside and away from the village at the least he felt like he could breath again. He had stayed on edge nearly the full night and everything in his body screamed from how tense he had stayed. Though it was for his own good, he'd rather be on guard then be attacked while he was asleep. Not that he figured anyone was bold enough in that village to attack what seemed to be the village leader's home... It wasn't till mid last night he even put two and two together that she was the man's daughter.
He would question why she had done what she did but at the same time it didn't matter, it was done and over with now and she seemed rather content trying to help him. It was odd that she was trying to help him though, what was she to gain from all of this? Maybe she didn't want to gain anything. Though that was a little hard to believe to be honest.
Though he let his thoughts stay in his own mind as she seemed to bring them to what appeared to be a small dock. Right away she went about chattering away. He did forget a number of things... though fishing wasn't one of them. Just his kind didn't fish in this manner. Then again they normally didn't stay in groups so there was little gathering that needed to be done aside from herbs.
He shook his head a little after she seemed to grow quiet, he had half started to tune her out with his own thoughts as bits were coming back to him the more he thought about it. Though he wasn't answering her in the least no he was more or less trying to settle his thoughts. It was hard to think he could recall even half of what he did after so many years of being forced to do as he was told.
After she seemed to settle down and start doing her own thing he moved a little before he bothered to open his mouth. It probably shocked her he could even speak let alone the fact he could speak something she understood. "I never did get your name..." He could have said a number of things but that seemed fitting enough. It was true, sure he had heard what others called her but she had never once bothered to give her name.
Not that he really cared, but he couldn't properly thank her till he got his answer. It was more out of respect then anything. She had ended up saving his life, he would have been stuck there for the rest of his days if it weren't for her. Let alone she was going out of her way to try and help him it seemed. Or at the least to make sure nothing happened to him while he stayed here.
Though seeing as she didn't answer right away he guessed she was in shock that he spoke. This whole time he had stayed silent, not that this was abnormal for his kind. They stayed silent unless forced to talk. Though... he wasn't always like this, oh no for one of his kind he had quite a bit of flair considering. It would just take enough time to get that said spark to emerge again.
