Xanth was released from isolation not hours ago.

After the events in the library, two days of solitude helped him piece himself back together. He's headed back to his room now, but a shriek rings out.

Xanth stops cold, fingers curling to grip a weapon that isn't there. Adrenaline surges past the numbing fog and Xanth strides around a corner, prepared for any danger.

But he was not prepared for this.

"A--Aara!"

The shout makes her scream in response--though she quickly cuts it off. She turns, pale eyes wide and terrified as she faces the stranger before her. Instantly she drops to a crouch on the ground--defensive. She's still shaking and trembling all over, but this person sees her and might wish her harm.

Another whimper escapes. Her expression crumples into one of misery and terror. She doesn't want this. She doesn't want to fight.

So instead, she glances around for an exit--any exit--so she might escape any pain or added terror.

Xanth is kicking himself. Wonderful - Aara is bloody, naked, and terrified. He takes a deep breath and relaxes his posture, then puts his hands up.

"A-Aara, it, i-it's me. X--Xanth." He takes one step towards her. "It-- I-I'm not-- I-I won't hurt you, i-it's, it's o-okay..."

Her heart pounds in her chest--pulse rapidly thrumming through her veins. Breathing heavy, Aara tenses as he nears her, drawing slowly back towards the wall. She's watching him--watching his hands. Perhaps the instinct in her is waiting to see if pain or soothing comes from them.
