Paws were worn from travel, eyes tired from restless naps, and what felt like icicles clung to the Jaguar's pelt, freezing them. Thrown over their back was a burlap sack full of random garbage they'd been able to win off earlier that morning. Bargaining, bartering, bantering - you name it, and Xi was in it. However, the long trips through their trading routes had become tasking all alone. At one point in time, it had been them traveling after their father along those trails. It was solemnly them now. Creaking up the boarded walkway gradually nearing their home, Alexi's trek home was cute short at the pained call of Balaal. Frozen with contemplation, they thought for a split second to just throw their belongings inside and nap the day off. On the other paw, the Sage could be in mortal danger, and it would be blamed on them if Baalal gave in to their injuries.
With an agitated sigh, Xi tossed the bag on the ground and hauled off towards the call. It didn't take long to find the massive being sprawled across the bridge. Shit, shit, shit, I have absolutely zero knowledge on what to do here! Swallowing a massive lump of nerves, they, without question, answered the others' pathetic call. Leaning down into an awkward bow to offer Ballal their back for support to stand up.
It wouldn't be much of a boost due to the height difference, but it was better than the ground. A stern expression clouded Alexi's gaze as they muttered in a low but gentle tone. "Baalal, are you okay enough to try to stand? I can help you up, but if you're not, we may need to find other help." Xi was doing everything in their power not to succumb to panic, but it was hard considering the circumstances.
