The man's hand felt wrong, but he doesn't think much about it when he's dragging him up out of the brush, almost falling on his ass in the process. When he looks up at the man he's rescued though, his eyes widen and he's not sure what he's looking at.

"W-what even are you?" By the look on the man's face, this wasn't exactly normal for him either, but his gut reaction was to step away. He's still aware of his surroundings, listening just in case, but it would be stupid not to guard himself against what ever was in front of him either. Cursed, or blighted, though he couldn't sense the taint in him at all. Strange. "You'll do no more until you tell me, I promise you."
