[There's more to be said in silence, in not knowing, than to just write a dissertation about your life to someone you just met. Katsuki knows this girl's story, because that's what it is - a story - but he's not ready to reveal his own. Nor will he spoil the ending of hers. It's not his place, and he's not the kind of person to do so. But he is relieved he doesn't have to explain himself. After living with a bunch of nosy, gossipy fuckers...someone who just respects that he doesn't want to talk about it is a weight off his aching shoulders.

Watching her climb up, the young man spots the woman lest she fall or a branch snaps under her weight. He says nothing about her capabilities, he can see she's done this before, but accidents happen, and he's still a Hero. If she does fall, he'll catch her.]

Mm...saw a path through the maze that veered in that direction, but we'll need to double back a little. And it's manageable. I don't think I popped the stitches, but it'll need addressing when we get to a place we can. [Because walking around is still causing him discomfort - Katsuki just should not be moving, period, but it's better that they're going a leisurely pace.] Let's move.
