Jack jumped at the voice, standing up and pointing his staff in her general direction. He furrowed his brows at her words. Well, of course he was fast! He was aided by the Wind itself, after all. Not to mention running for his life.

"Well, I was never trying to be sneaky before," Jack protested, even if she was right. He had to be sneaky now to get away from those troopers. It was either continue running or chance it with this woman. As he heard the faint sounds of the troopers approaching, he gripped his staff tighter and nodded. Better than nothing, he figured. He took her hand. She would find he was cold, but not unpleasantly so.
