It all happened so quickly, she cut off his immediate escape by somehow knocking him away from the cliff edge. Then there was her rant, followed by her falling.

Before you could say anything at all. She was hanging by her right elbow as his fist gripped tightly around it. His face was already red from the strain since his other hand was digging greedily into the rocks and dirt of the cliff edge surface whilst he laid over the edge, holding the sudden weight of a young girl wearing heavy oversized armour. "Well..." he managed out through the strain both his wrists carried, "you have, a, very odd way, of showing it." He didn't really understand why he grabbed her, but between that decision and the day of his death, he never questioned it. But had he thought of why he would save someone he thought was capable of killing at such an age, it might have been because of what she had said before falling. That thing she said that he attempted to take a dig at despite his struggle. That thing which put just enough doubt into his mind that he can save a life and consider it worthwhile.

'I only wanted peace' is what she said. She was angry at him not because he helped Cora escape her, but because of his intervention, Ar cannot get the answers she seeks and the alliance of the people around her.

'She has absolutely, no idea what she's doing' he realised. Whatever she fears, whatever she's running from, has thrown her in the deep end, and away from what she's familiar with. It makes sense, compared to her age, demeanour and attire. The way she lives now, is vastly different from how she's been raised. She doesn't meet many people, and if she did before, it wasn't like this. Maybe she was an servant gone running, or a simply inexperienced with people, maybe she was once prominent, use to others doing things for her. No matter what her story may be, she's alone out here, seeking safety in the land she lives in and the people she meets. She's innocent.

"If I hoist you up, your gonna talk?" He half asked, half stated, considering he was holding her over a cliff edge. Regardless of if she nodded or shook her head, he planned on bringing her up through the pain.
