"Alexei, it's alright!." Askier exclaimed, trying to keep his friend staring into his golden eyes. "No one is making you go back anywhere."
Askier was stern, though his mind was running a thousand different ways, trying to figure out how best to calm this fit the hyur was experiencing. When Alexei fell over onto his side, Askier leaned in, his head over the shuddering hyur as his golden optics darted around. His right hand went on Alexei's shoulder and he gripped it reassuringly as his left arm hung still.
"Alexei, no one here is making you hurt anyone!" Askier said frantically, his teeth chewing on his lower lips every time he stopped speaking. "You haven't hurt anyone in awhile! Hells you keep fixing me up! Patching my wounds and all, just like Osric ordered you to do. I'd be dead at least once so far if you hadn't been around, Alexei. It's alright, it really is! You're with friends now."
