He half expected her to flinch away from the touch and was surprised when the girl instead leaned into it, even rising to her feet so as to get closer. Amber eyes widened in momentary shock, but Lace didn't move; stock still he stood as she cried against his skin, her body so hot where it touched him that he thought she might burn up any moment. Was she ill? Concern deepened within, and with a thought he sent Fajira away from her meal to fly over the area in search for someone, anyone, that could help. She obeyed grudgingly, though admitted to sharing his frustration; one of these days they would have to learn how to help the sick and injured themselves because the rate at which they stumbled over them was quite alarming.

When the young mare finally withdrew - leaving the grullo with an odd sensation of loss - he gave her a careful smile, sympathy in his eyes when she replied hoarsely. Looking closer at her, he could see signs of a fight on her frame, scabs covering recent injuries - there was no foul smell or pus coming from them, but judging by her raised temperature the girl had quite a fever running.

"I'm Lace" he said softly. "What's your..." he tried to continue, then blinked as she spoke, sounding quite delirious as she compared his eyes with the stars. Not sure whether he should be worried or laugh, he chose the latter (though it was a kind and rather embarrassed laugh). "You're the star child here, my dear" he returned and let the gaze roam in admiration across her skin, across which all the heavens seemed displayed in unearthly, almost eerie beauty.

"You don't look too well though. Is there anything I can do for you? Shelter maybe, or warmth..." Reaching within himself the self-appointed outcast summoned the heat that always surged within his own body, calling it forth with a slight exhale. Immediately a bright light flared up slightly above their heads as a tiny, miniature sun burst into life and hung suspended in the air, casting warmth and a golden glow down over the ground and the horses. It would take some effort to maintain it for very long, but it was better than to remain in the dark; the summer night wasn't exactly cold, but for a sick person it still wasn't healthy.

@[Tandavi] ooc: sent Fajira to look for help, maybe she can find Tavi and bring her there? :)
