The idea of answering her query made Raun want to pause briefly, though he chose not to. It was a long walk, to be sure. Not one he intended to make her do on her own feet. However, he wasn't expecting her to pass out. He bit his lip gently at the sight of her laying unconscious in the snow before gingerly picking her up and arranging her in his arms. She was so small in his arms that it made him nearly uncomfortable to carry her in this way, but he did as he traveled slowly in the direction of the city, near the train tracks. It was a long walk, and it would be almost midday when she regained consciousness, still having several hours left in the journey to the town.
When she stirred, Rau glanced down at her, then back up at the path he had chosen. His gait was easy and rolling, careful not to jostle her too much as he supported her weight in his arms. This close, she could feel the almost stony tension in his flesh, and his scent must have been nigh-overwhelming. Yet, Rau could not stop to let her get a fresh breath. Such an act could be dangerous as they got closer and closer to the town. Hunters and hikers roamed the wilderness near the small town, and being near the tracks made it easier, since they didn't usually come close to the trains, but not impossible. Rau did not like the idea of getting caught.
"I will get you to the town."
It was a promise, but not one he was incredibly confident about. Since he was probably going to be leaving this area anyway, he felt he might as well get her to the safety of the town gates, rather than leave her an hour outside. More risk for him, but less risk for her. He could handle himself, anyway, and he doubted she could show the same strength. It was, thus, on him to keep her safe for now.

The mind is a fantastic, dangerous place. Don't go alone.
