[ Alphinaud offers the young boy a warm smile, and he turns so that Alkaid can receive the benefit of it as well. He cannot pretend that he is not worried for her, but for the moment, the priority must be helping their young charge get to safety where he can be looked at. ]

Once we return to the settlement, you will be able to rest and have any hurts that you have cared for.

[ Fortunately for them, the settlement is not that far from their location, and although Alphinaud does not intend to rush the boy along, they still manage to arrive in good time. As was the case prior to Alphinaud heading out into the field to search for survivors, Krile is still in the designated healing area, and he makes his approach. ]

Is there room for one more? [ Nodding first to Alkaid and then to the boy, he goes on to explain: ] We found him underneath some rubble as we continued our searches.

[ Even if the answer was that there was no room remaining, Alphinaud would have still found a way to secure a space for the boy that he might receive healing and then be able to finally rest. But he hopes that is not the route he must take.

Fortunately, Krile nods in the affirmative, her hands obviously full with caring for the wounded, and she gestures to where a free bed is available. Smiling at her and giving her a nod of thanks, Alphinaud turns back to the boy. ]

See? You will be resting comfortably in no time at all.
