The bald man appeared to glow through the ash fall.

His armour glistened in the darkness, also a byproduct of his aura.

Something appeared nearby...no someone.

Lorenor saw that the fellow was really hurt, there was a strong scent of blood and burning, exposed flesh. Shit...he's hurt bad. Lorenor was compelled to help Kirin out. It was in his nature to assist those that needed help.

Lorenor immediately turned towards Kirin and maneuvered towards him, through the falling ash.

Lorenor had specialized in endurance training, as well as the old teachings of the Paladin arts. Them daft sort of folk.

He hoisted his shield up above his head and maneuvered towards Kirin. Covering them both. Sei...would want me to help... Lorenor assessed the severity of the lad's injuries. Shit, he's really a mess...bleeding out. Lorenor covered himself and the fellow with his shield. "I'm going to help you out kid." Lorenor explained. "Fortress nearby is Ixian ruins. It's a holy place we will be safe there for the night while I figure out the extent of your injuries."

Lorenor's body had a particularly mysterious golden glow.

It seemed to have a calming effect to those around him...

...I hope it affects that kid the same way. Lorenor thought to himself as he maneuvered with Kirin towards the castle proper.
