Aruna frowned at the fact Praxis had never seen or heard of anything like this. It was common knowledge that Wolfen had been wandering the Yggdrasil far longer than most and had many generations that probably would have shared their stories but if even Praxis hadn't heard of this then honestly, had anyone? What did that mean exactly? There was no way this was good if you could see straight down to the flow of magic. Who would even be able to do something like this? The old woman might know something important but at the same time... Aruna was worried she wouldn't and then she would know nothing. It was that very thought that had her upset because she didn't like not knowing or being left out of the loop.

She turned her gaze back to the one holding her, noticing the confusion creeping onto his face like it was a weird thing to ask the old woman what she knew. This made her own eyebrow raise, wondering what in names was going on in his head as different emotions seemed to pass by his eyes. She stiffened a bit as his gaze moved to her legs, making her feel nervous which was just silly for she could guess multiple reasons for looking. Aruna relaxed in relief as he shook his head, probably clearing his head which meant he was probably absent mindedly looking at her or probably meaning to look at the ground but didn't get that far. "Is there a problem with talking to her?" she asked, irritation slowly trying to creep in. Aruna waited, seeing what he had to say when a grin made its way onto his features. She didn't have much of a choice other than to follow and wondering what exactly Praxis's idea was. 

Aruna grip tightened as she scooted closer, her legs not liking the fact they were being forced to walk backwards even if it was only a few stepped to get away from the chasm in front of them. She fought of the need to blush, noting that she had nothing to be embarrassed about since this was the only way to walk until her legs fully kicked in. It was then that Praxis's large hand uncurled from the fist it had been in and now was gently resting on the under side of her chest which made her face light slightly red. She knew it was logical in helping but it still she couldn't get pass the thought of a man touching her close to a more intimate place but then that snag of anger at this very man being a Wolfen tried to push to the surface. Aruna almost sighed in relief as his hand slid to her waist, not wanting to deal with all the conflicting emotions that were fighting in her. Praxis seemed to have a way of doing that to her and she had to say she didn't like it. She wanted to hate him but at the same time she wanted to give him a chance to prove her that he was different. He had let her go and saved her but at the same time, her mind told her it was all a lie maybe even a trick. She shook her head, focusing on what was in front of her right now. Aruna would deal with the other thoughts later.

The two of them were now six feet or so behind the old woman, confusion clearly written on her face as they halted. He wasn't even looking in the old woman's direction so how was he....it was in that moment that Aruna realized exactly what he was doing. Praxis was going to search into the woman's mind to find direct answers. She watched him closely before looking to the woman to see what was going on with her when she turned to look at them, a grin on her face which only made Praxis give his own in return. Had something happened? After a small nod to Praxis, Aruna felt completely out of the loop and now utterly confused. Once his eyes closed again, a frown quickly appeared on his face but what had her panicked had nothing to do with what he was doing in his mind but what his body was doing. His grip on her was loosening making her legs shake and she used as much strength in her arms as she could to hold onto his shoulder. Aruna really didn't feel like dropping to the ground. She was relieved and grateful when he came back, his grip tightening once more but even tighter then before it seemed. She looked at him curiously and slight worry, not saying a word even as they started heading in the same direction as her 'home' which was the last direction she wanted to head in. Aruna didn't know why but she felt like something was very very wrong and that only got worse when he refused to look at her as he spoke and his voice was off.
"You may carry me." Aruna answered with no hesitation.
