Dhaos was actually relieved when she woke up. True, it was odd for him to care much about anyone, except perhaps his fellow replicas and Harold, but this woman was also a replica as far as he could tell, so he did care that she remained well.
But anyone he approached always did need to be handled with care until he knew them better. True, this woman would be grateful, but he knew enough about proper etiquette that it was not right to request anything right off for such a favor, though both would know it was owed.
He held out his arm to help her up. "It was no problem. It would be quite the shame for one who shares at least one interest with me to have died so tragically."
Of course, he didn't want this group to just go on their way, he was interested especially in the woman and the boy who looked like her, but he would not object to seeing if the others were of interest. That gave him an idea.
"Perhaps you could tell me what piqued your interest so much about this tree. Maybe you could join me for a meal while we discuss that? Your colleagues are welcome to join us, of course."
That could well work, she'd probably agreed just because he helped her, at worst she'd think he was flirting with her, but that would be disabused with him inviting her companions along, so there was little reason for her to be skittish. And he had to admit, a meal would be most welcome now, as would being able to sit down and relax for a time. All those fonons being released did tend to have a weakening effect a short time afterwards until his body regained its balance again from the powers put into the cloak.
