Eyes darting up, Erwan met Chance's eye, both surprised and wary at his touch, but unable to immediately pull away either. Something stayed his usual reaction that created what many people called a wall between him and others. Strangers disliked him for a reason. Erwan knew that, but right now, the reasonable and fair side of him took precedence. "I do have to do this," he answered with a slight shake of his head. Simple and true, he stated it like a fact rather than words of compassion. Even when Chance lifted his hand to place a quick kiss, Erwan did not waver in his decision. Glancing over, his nodded to Hayden when he saw that the younger man followed his example. His smile soft for a second, Erwan pulled his gaze away. "We are also humans aren't we? Of course we won't act callous."

With that last line, he pulled away from Chance and his sneaky, warm gestures and set to work. It was a matter-of-fact way that he dealt with the injured as Chance suggested. However, in the way he held gauze or moved bandages, the gentleness of his touch shone through. He didn't care about who the people here were or who hurt them. He didn't feel guilt himself, or anger. He did believe the people belonged to the kingdom though and therefore his mission was clear. Talking very little, he worked as the day deepened, only keeping in contact with Rornigoth to ascertain the security of their current situation.

When Chance sought them out again and spoke, Erwan just nodded as he tied a last bandage securely into place. It made him thankful for his own training and steady hands though up close, the damages only looked worse. Even he was not used to this. "Excuse me?" he answered, sounding more surprised than uptight like earlier. He'd loosened his vest to hang loose around his shoulders, undershirt tucked under the edge to stay out of the way. Even his hair looked looser, more wild in the environment, though his eyepatch stayed as snug in place as ever. "Is that alright though? We didn't come here to socialize did we?"

Stretching, he looked for Hayden, finding him not far away as they'd shared some of their supplies in order to help the villagers. "How are you holding up?" he asked, just realizing that was something he should have asked a while ago.
