[During the last few days, she's gotten used to walking in silence. It became evident to her shortly Lila's name appeared on the obituaries that she couldn't do anything to help him deal with his grief. Whether that was because he didn't want help or because she wasn't adept at that kind of assistance, she doesn't know, but at some point she decided it might be best to give him space for a while.
She almost doesn't notice that he's stopped, but his cry of pain alerts her to what's happened. She turns back towards him, looking him over until she catches sight of the piece of metal that's pierced entirely through his foot. She sets her bag down for a moment, breathing a sigh as she comes towards him. Once she's close enough, she kneels slightly so she can get a better look at what's happened.]
...Hold still. It's going to be alright.
[She doesn't know, even as she says that, whether or not it will be. It's clear to her that he won't be able to walk like this. Carefully, she reaches out to see if the piece of metal is lodged in the ground, or if he could be moved without it needing to come out just yet.]
