blinks recognizing her when he was walking by. Unsure of what seemed to be the problem, he decided to greet her instead. " Pryvit."

trying not to put much pressure on her feet as she sees him come her way. She smiles lightly. "Tere."

tilts his head slightly. " I didn't expect to run into you here. Are you alright?" He smiles a bit.

nods. "I'm pretty good." Her feet were what was hurting.

found it kind of odd that she was on the ground. " Do you need help getting home?"

shakes her head. "No, I'm fine." She doesn't want to be a bother since she knew she could get back... soon enough.

would feel guilty if he had just left her there all alone. " I guess I'll stay with you for a while. It would be rude of me to just leave."

|"N-no, no, you can go if you would like to. I'm fine," she says quickly trying to get up as to prove she is going home as well only to end_

frowns when he saw that and held his arms out to steady her. " Are you injured by any chance?" He was quite worried now.

looks down a bit. "I don't think so. My feet kind of hurt though."

nods. " If you don't mind me, I think it'll be better if I just carried you back." He smiles a little.

seems to think about that for a moment. It's not that she mind being carried, but.. "I don't want to trouble you."

shakes his head and smiles more. " No it's fine. It's never troublesome to help a lady in need." He chuckles.

smiles slightly at that even though she still did feel like a bother having to be carried. "Alright."

nods and kneels down so he could carry her in a piggy back style. It was also sort of for the sake of his old creaky joints.

gets on. She knows she's kind of a lightweight, but she's still hoping that she isn't too heavy.

isn't too bothered by her weight. Though other time when he carried his brat when the boy strained an ankle chasing after_

_ Anya gave him back aches for days...

... mentally notes that she'll need to make sure Dmytro isn't having problems with his back later then.

a bit more careful so she didn't have to worry much about him. Rather let him do the worrying since it was typical for him to do so.

still worry. It was typical for her to worry too (though mostly about her little sister but that is highly understandable).
