When Esther arrived at Althea's position, she found that she already had her own bodyguard. Gradon had gotten there earlier than she could and he already deflected some bullets heading to her position.

"Y-yes, nice to meet you too, Gradon!" Esther replied back. "T-thanks for covering for me! A-and sorry Althea for coming late!"

After Esther erected her barrier, she looked at Althea's patient worryingly. Now that she actually had the opportunity to look at him up close, she noticed how grave his wounds looked. Esther unconsciously shook in her boots and covered her mouth with her hands as she looked at the gruesome display. For a sheltered noble girl like her, it was certainly a new and unpleasant experience.

"I-is he going to be alright, Althea?" she blurted out. She instantly regretted it as that could sound like she was doubting Althea's abilities, which was certainly not her intention. She now just hoped she would take it well.
