Ian was waiting probably just as anxiously as Logan was, more so when footsteps were coming toward them. Fortunately those turned out to be nothing and Tahra returned not too long later to lead the way to the forest. Ian followed along, still half-carrying Jacques to help him keep up, until they found a place far enough to rest.
While Logan built a fire Ian was keeping watch, sort of. He saw Tahra slink off, he'd noticed the ever-so-slight limp she'd had along the way and decided to go after her. First he'd wandered back to the center of their little camp and, with no explanation and a nod at Logan, he placed a dagger with the blade in the fire. Then he'd went to find Tahra, finding her as she was pulling cloth off of a wound. coming from the shadows smirking, he said "Well I suppose that place wasn't as safe as I thought, I guess that means no kiss huh?" He kneeled down beside her and went to examine her wound "C'mon lemme see...hmm, one of them got you good. just wait here for a second"
He went back over to the fire to retrieve his dagger, giving a small wave to Logan before disappearing again to return to Tahra. Keeping the heated knife hidden as he approached again "I've had to deal with being stabbed a few times in my line of work, didn't always had a lot of bandages on hand though, course I coulda torn up some old clothes like most people buuuuut-this'll hurt a little" He'd slipped an arm around her to move her clothes slightly and expose her wound. After that he'd quite suddenly clamped a hand around her mouth to stifle her scream and pressed the flat side of the heated blade to her wound, cauterizing it. Sure, he probably could've asked if she'd like to try this method, but he'd a feeling she would prefer the not-being-burned one, like most other people, and as appealing as it sounds to see her walking around with only half a shirt on, they probably shouldn't be traveling to another kingdom in tattered clothes and having to worry about changing bandages every so often.
even if he was going to get a kiss before...
