Helena walked slowly up the steps to the temples, just as she had so many times before. Blind to all those around her she counted the steps softly to herself, being percise in timing and breathing in a beat to accompany the counting. Many shot her an odd look, but most of the healers were accustomed to her antics and ignored her, rushing past in order to deal with something more pressing. Nobody ever seemed to have time for her. And still she counted, her golden head of hair bouncing along to the same rhythmn of her footsteps as her long red cloak floated out behind her.

"Thank you very much, I feel much better now" A man said, bowing to one of the healers. He had aperantly come here to get some of hs wounds from a recent fight treated, and that was aperantly obviouse, thanks to the bandage around his forehead, the band-aid on his left cheek. He obviously had much more bandaged wounds on him, but all of them were hidden by his clothes, gloves and armwarmer things. The women that had aperantly treated his wounds seemed all too happy "Oh, of course, come again if you ever need your wounds healed" one said, very happy for some reason, the man only sweat dropped, giving a nervious, kind smile "Of course, Goodbye" he said, bowing once more and turning around, walking away. He started walking down the steps, but aperantly got distracted by someone, and bumped right into the woman that was counting the steps

Helena's counting came to an abrupt stop as someone, a man, crashed straight into her. She fell backwards down the steps, bouncing unceremoniously down the cut stone before coming to a stop several steps down from the man who had crashed into her. She stood up quickly and brushed herself down, not wanting to look up to see who had been watching.

When the man saw the girl tumble/bounce down the steps, he paniced "Whoa!" he ran down the steps to the girl "Im so, so very sorry" he apologised, bowing a little "Are you alright?" he asked, honestly concerned

Yeah, fine. She replied quietly, glancing quickly up at the stranger before looking back at the floor, slightly embaressed that he had felt that he needed to come and help her. She went to walk again, but fell when she put weight on her right foot. Helena let out an involunteraly cry and fell again, clutching her ancle with bony white fingers.

The man blinked and kneeled down "Does your ancle hurt?" he asked, moving her hands away slightly to look at it "...doesnt look all that bad...but you probably sprained it" he said, he said, his voice calm and soothing "You should go see the healers, they should patch you up in a second" he said

Helena let the stranger examine her ancle, there was something about him which made her trust him. Perhaps it was his voice, or maybe the gentle, comforting manner he did everything with. She wasnt sure. At his mention of the healers she mumbled quietly, more to herself than to him. They dont really bother with me anymore

The man heard what she said, and blinked, looking at her "Eh?...thats nonsense. They always treat anyone in need of help, no matter how minor the injurie" he said, and took her by her wrists "Now come on, stand up" he said, and slowly stood up, pulling her up along with him, he then let go of her hands "Can you walk?"

Helena let the man pull her up of the step and tried to hop up onto the next one, only succeeding in falling on her face. She lay there for a second then sat back up and giggled dizzily.

The man sweat dropped and gave a crooked smile when she giggeled dizzily "Ehh...Sorry about that" he said, and grabbed her hands, pulling her up again, he then let go of one of her hand but kept a hold of the other one "Just lean your weight on me and try to walk" he said, and started moving slowly, giving her plenty time to move, and not rush

Helena let herself be pulled up from the steps again and put her arm around the mans neak, leaning on his shoulder as she slowly made her way up the stairs without anymore accidents. Thanks she muttered quietly as they reached the top of the flight they had been on.

The man just gave a kind smile and nodded "Its no trouble, after all, after causing your injury, its the least I can do" he said, and looked around, he noticed a healer "Hey, wait here" he said, letting go of her, though making sure not to do it too fast, so she wont fall on her face again. He walked over to the healer "Excuse me, my friend there has sprained her ancle, can you please help her?" he asked, gesturing towards Helena

When the man let go of her to speek to a healer Helena stood on one foot for a moment, gazing absently around before lowering herself to sit on the ground, deciding that it was better to sit down before she fell down again.

Once the man explained to the healer what happened, the man just shook his head "Im sorry, Im very busy at the moment, but here" He said, and handed the man some healing ointment, and some bandages "Just rub this ointment on her ancle and bandage it, it should heal in a few hours" he said, and ran off, aperantly very busy "But I-...well...ok..." He said, and backed back to the girl "Come on, lets find a bench or something, cant just treat you in the middle of the street" He said, putting her arm around his neck and started to walk to the nearest bench, he sat her down on the bench and kneeled down infront of her, taking off her shoe and looking at her ancle agian, a bruise was now clearly vissible and her skin started to change color a bit "ow...seems more painfull than it was before" he said, and got out the ointment, rubbing some on the bruised skin around her ancle, trying not to press too strongly as too not cause her any pain

Helena allowed the man to move her over to the bench and sat while he pulled off her shoe and began to rub in some ointment. She winced slightly as he first began to put it on, but forced herself to relax after a moment or so. Who are you? she asked the man quietly, suddenly realising that she knew nothing about the handsome stranger who was helping her unlike so many others.
