exercise never did anyone any good...

Apr 02, 2007 15:54

Charlie was trying to get into the habit of running a mile or so every day after breakfast along the sand, to get herself used to distance again, used to the stretch and pull of her muscles when she ran. She'd forgotten how good it felt to do something that she was just good at...all her life, Charlie had been good at two things: waitressing and ( Read more... )

There were some things that Fergus could do, one handed or not, and helping those in distress was one of those. So when he saw the girl, hand on ankle, he made it a purpose to divurge his current course and head towards her.

"Hush, m'petite, do not touch it," he said, smiling gently and crouching near her ankle, shaking his head slightly, before looking up at her face. "No tears, eh? It is not worth it, it may hurt, but it is just a wound of the flesh, not one of the heart. Correct?" He cocked his head to the side. "That is all there is, ouais?"

Charlie wasn't sure that she'd ever even met a French person before and now was not the ideal time. She just stared at him and felt her heartbeat sickly in her ankle and tired not to cry.

"It really hurts," she said, dumbly.

"I am certain it does, but this is a good sign, trust me. You want it to hurt, means it is still there," he answered, smiling encouragingly, much the way he smiled at any of the numerous Fraser and Murray children growing up.

"We should get you to a doctor. This is not the sort of place for it."

"You're right," said Charlie, with a little nod of her head. "This ain't the place at all."

"That it does," Fergus agreed, nodding slightly, and straightening up once again, back on his feet.

"Come, let us go. Do you mind if I carry you, madamoiselle? It would not be right to make you go on your own."

Charlie was honestly too struck dumb by him to put up much of an argument, even if she'd have rather walked and not made a nusiance of herself.

"It's a long way to the compound," she said dumbly.

Fergus nodded again, perfectly aware of how far the compound was from where they were.

"I know, madamoiselle, that is why I am asking. It would do more harm than good to make you walk."
