Her eyes followed the human as he moved away from her, Aeylisia watching interestedly as Shade jogged towards the large tree, climbing into the branches quickly and efficiently. As she watched his steady ascent until the leaves hid him from her view, she silently admitted that he climbed rather well... For a human. Snorting softly, the Elvin woman turned her face away from the tree, silently contemplating the situation she had gotten herself into.

After a long moment, With the quiet of the night punctuated by her steady soft panting, a  laugh suddenly bubbled up within her, Breaking past her lips in a breathless tinkle. Closing her eyes against the throb of pain this sent through her head, Aeylisia lifted her hands and rubbed them over the skin of her face, through the ringlets of her reddish hair, and laughed again. Not loud enough to attract the attention of the human, but her tired body probably wouldn't have been able to exert enough energy to do anything much louder nevertheless. "you foolish lass." She managed to get out between bursts of giggles, Shaking her head slowly. "almost got yourself killed helping a [I]human[/I] take down a manticore of all things."

But oh, what a thrill it had been. "Fool." She murmured again, continuing to chuckle softly with amusement at her recklessness, her softening, even as she once again lifted her skirts and touched her fingertips to the makeshift bandage. Her calf protested the contact, but only a small amount of blood soaked the cloth. Momentarily satisfied, Aeylisia finally turned her attention back to her ruined dress, contemplating the partially dried stain before coming to the conclusion that there was no saving the material. With expert tugs and rips, the Elf quickly made short work of removing the lower section of her skirts, piling the material on one side. It was a shame to see one of her favorite outfits destroyed, but the relief doing so gave to her leg by removing the weight made the loss a passing momentary twinge.

Aeylisia wasn't one for screaming. And that was certainly a good thing, especially when the thud sounded unexpectedly close by her. Her heart leapt, her stomach muscles contracted with panic, and she dropped the wad of fabric in  her hand as she twisted around to face the source, her now free hand flying out to snatch up the nearest loose rock as she did so, but not so much as a whimper escaped her. Half expecting another monster to be creeping towards her with its maw open, she was momentarily confused therefore to see nothing but a large sack resting on the ground near the roots of the tree.

The mystery was solved a short moment later as Shade landed on the ground, absorbing the impact easily before he turned around and started in her direction, dropping a second bag to the ground from his shoulder. Aeylisia Felt rather embarrassed at her initial reaction, releasing her grip on the rock leaving it on the ground. She watched in silence as the human sorted through the contents of the sack and produced a box, Resting it on the ground and opening the lid to reveal a collection of medical supplies. As he pulled out thread and needle, she reflexively took the materials as they were offered, inwardly wincing at the idea of enduring further pain.

Settling The needle and thread on her pile of discarded fabric, she had just reached for her bandaged leg when Shade made an offer to help her with the stitches. The Elf paused thoughtfully, considering the implications that she would be unable to handle her own injury, before she undid the scarf from around her calf. Her leg gave a throb of pain as the extra blood rushed back into it, provoking a small grimace that wrinkled her nose. She imagined attempting to clean and suture the wound herself, rearranging her hands a few times before she finally let out a defeated sigh. "As much as I am loathed to admit it, I am unable to properly care for my injuries. Therefore... I would except your offer of help." Her voice held an edge of resentment, but Aeylisia didn't hesitate as she returned the needle and thread and lay her body onto her stomach, folding her arms and resting her chin onto One of her forearms. She didn't particularly like turning her back on the human, but she wasn't going to be getting very far with her leg in the state it was currently in. The thought made the corners of her eyes wrinkle is she narrowed them.
