Amongst the FateGuard Derek was knelt down next to Althera with large leather pouch from his belt containing assorted salves to dull pain and promote healing and woven linen bandages carefully replacing the hasty midst of battle patch up Alwyn had done with something more long term. He was unsure of what the clerics and healers would be able to do during the evening with how busy they were with the snake's corpse. It was a massive thing and would take a fair amount of manpower to move, thus influencing Derek's decision to not wait for them. Off to the side being watched by his allies were the pieces of the Regalia of Ancient Kings from the waist up, having proven too cumbersome to wear while trying to have a delicate touch. Having tended to her legs to the best of his abilities he moved to her arm and hand that she had used to push Alondite to him.
"I owe you a thank you unlike any I've owed a comrade in a great while, Althera. Though you may not think much of it the battle may have gone much worse had you not been able to get Alondite to me. Alwyn blinded the beast. Arias distracted it, and Refia slew it, yes, but I don't think that would have been possible without both Tahan and I distracting it. And I would not have been able to distract it without Alondite to break free, nor would I have been able to protect you and Alwyn from it and who knows what would have happened to me in that chaos. I dare say I owe you my life this night," finished with her arm Derek paused for a moment. She had been hurt around her lower back and it was something he couldn't just leave be. "Erm, I...e-excuse me..." he muttered. He had done a terrible job covering the awkward tone in his voice as he gingerly lifted her tunic enough to expose her waist. Keeping it from falling with one hand he began to look over for any open wounds or bruising applying the medical salve where appropriate.
"I'd like to thank you properly if you're alright with that. You're welcome to recuperate at my house. I'm sure my sister would be delighted to be cooking for another and I'm sure you'll be more comfortable with her tending to your injuries than the likes of me....I can't exactly tend to any other places appropriately if you understand my meaning..."
