Thane stared at the Groll which was laying on the ground, motionless. He didn't know if it was dead yet, but there was enough time to get Carmilla away from it.
Thane faced Carmilla on the ground, and helped him get to his feet.
Carmilla gaped at him still trying to recover from the shock. "Why.. did you save me?" He asked, his voice barely above a whisper.
He shrugged, "I just did it. You better get out of here before it comes for you again," he turned on his heels, and began to walk away.
Carmilla felt different, was he touched by Thane's act of kindness? He clasped his hands together, taking an unsteady step forward.
"Wait.."
He stopped in his tracks, "Why?"
Carmilla caught up with him, and gently placed a hand on his shoulder, "Thank you," he mumbled.
Thane rolled his eyes, scoffing, "You could keep it to yourself if you do not want to say it," he said grudgingly.
