Leeus only served to make Julan more nervous with the attention she was placing on him, and he was still anxiously picking fruitlessly at the dried mud caked onto this scales. The blood might not have been so bad by itself, but he wanted to slap himself for slipping in the mud afterwards. Everything about his reaction to Leeus' kiss was embarrassing in the worst ways for him. Though, at least she did not seem to be making fun of him for it. 

Leeus actually seemed briefly confused, tilting her head slightly to the side towards Janius. [i]"Helping him? I mean, I don't know if I've really been trying to do that, he's just...fun to be around. We've all been getting along with him."[/i] She answered before quickly returning her attention to Julan. Although, she did notice the anxiety that he was doing a poor job of hiding, and was observant enough to see him trying to wipe away the mud. 

[i]"It was kind of funny how you fell like that, but...it wasn't your fault or anything. You just hurt your leg, is all."[/i] Leeus remarked. 

Though initially embarrassed about it being mentioned at all, Leeus' approach did help Julan to calm down. [i]"I, um, yeah, that was it. I could...really focus to fight through it during the duel, but it started to hurt a lot afterwards. I'm, uh, tough enough to handle some pain, obviously; I just got a little distracted for a second."[/i]

Leeus laughed for a moment. [i]"I guess so. How bad is it? Can you walk around? Why don't we go get you washed up? I can even help you wash your back."[/i] Leeus smiled. 

Julan rubbed the side of his neck. [i]"I'm, uh, not sure if I can leave yet. Can I?"[/i]

Thorantilth hummed a moment, focusing his gaze on Julan's wounded leg. [i]"Normally, I would not let you move around so soon. But, your body seems to be healing...unusually quickly, if I am being honest. I have no reason to keep you here."[/i] He answered, with his attention firmly on Julan's parents by the end.

"Yes, what's done is done." Ahnasha repeated. "I guess we'll see what we can do to help him cope once you find him. I'm going to get myself cleaned up properly once we're at the camp, and maybe cook up something for us to eat if I have the time afterwards. Still, take your time, once you find him. I have a feeling he could really use his father right now. Just do what you can for him. Only worry about bringing him to me if you think it's a good idea."
