The touch of sympathy filled her heart and she leaned down, looking over his features. Concern now crossed her fair countenance as gloved hands fell to Aunduin’s head, making sure he didn’t startle the dwarf-male nor drive his nerves any further. Was he truly alone here? Sarah couldn’t hear anyone else other than the forest continuing its common song of the night. “Us?” She inquired softly and turned to the beast at her side.
A pointed finger directed the wolf to take a look at the surrounding areas. Silently, he pulled away from them both and lowered his nose to the ground to capture any scent that perhaps lingered from whoever else was about. Hopefully, said person, was not aiming an arrow to the back of her head already.
“My name is Sarah, sir dwarf. May I know the name of the one that keeps me company at the present time?” He didn’t seem like one stirred with ill-intents, though Sarah had come across such trickery in the past and was not keen on simply trusting a stranger so easily, not out here.
”Did you desire a bit of help out of this area? You and.. ” The sentence faded, allowing him to finish it for her.
“M’brother an’ I, I mean..” He offered an apologetic smile, his fingers fumbling over each other nervously.“Lady Sarah, m’name is Kili, son of Dis..” The archer gave a curt little bow to the lady with the large wolf at her side, though he didn’t know exactly where the large animal was much to his disarray.
The dwarf hummed for a short time, “Fili..” he finished her sentence for her, seeing that she had no name to address his brother with. He cleared his throat, his eyes still looking around, though his vision had failed to let him see. It had been a few days without it, he was rather frustrated from a lack of an explanation.
“No, I don’ think so, Lady Sarah..” he paused, a crunch of leaves told him that his brother was back, he could picture a confused but stoic sort of face on him. Fitting, he thought. He turned his head and had a silent conversation with a nod and something to his side. Quickly, he turned back to the young fire haired lady with an excused smile. “Yer welcome to stay..” Kili’s voice drifted to hear more crunching leaves, nothing human. He dismissed it, with no other sound of panic around him.
“If ye’d like..”
“Kili, son of Dis,” she said his name softly and lightly brushed her hands over his own. She wanted to reassure him that it was all right, to let down his guard and the tension he felt - even if it was for a small bit of time. Aunduin had been kept busy, sniffing about in the brush, trying to locate the other person.
Which was now confirmed by his next few words, Fili, that was rather an adorable name. So his brother could be lurking about, but why would he leave his kinsmen alone in the dark, kept in the darkness of his blindness. “Where.. is Fili now, Mister Kili? And why would you be left here all alone, it is not safe.” Brows knitted together as she kneels down before him - her hands yet lingering on his own.
Seeing his attention had shifted to something at his side, Sarah’s eyes immediately glanced to that direction. She focused, attempting to hear what conversation was taking place, but could not make out the words spoken. “I will stay, though.. I can do something about this ailment of yours, unless you were born without sight - then I can not grant you view of the world before you.”
