Skellig can sense the restlessness, the edge to her emotions and mood as they step out through the door - just hours ago, she fell to the ground here, where a stain of blood would have soaked into the earth had it not been for him to pull her off the dirt and drag her back inside to safety.
He also senses her embarrassment.
"Do not feel shame for what is your nature," he says simply, taking her hand - the one that does not hold that arrow, which he is taking with them on the walk back to Kreyu's home outside the wall. "It is who you are."
While they walk, Skellig does not hesitate to 'nudge' anyone who they come across (so few are out, as it is still quite early) to not See them. It is of little effort of him to do so, to cause them to become distracted by a sound in the other direction, or recall that they had something to do elsewhere, somewhere else to be or look.
"Your necklace shattered," he offers by way of explanation, in case she does not remember what happened, in that chaos. (He hopes she doesn't.) "When you had me Take from it, I think...I am not sure what happened, between our energy. But it was lost."
