“Easy….” She murmured, helping to steady him on his feet. They needed to move quickly, the guards would arrive soon and she would prefer to get him to her chambers before they started to search for him. She pulled away some when he attempted to pull her hood down. “There will be time for introductions later.” She assured him, helping him out of the cell. “Now I ask you, remain quiet until I get you to safety.”
She led him quickly through the castle, expertly dodging any of the guards that passed by, using hidden hallways that only had been long forgotten and only found after her extensive exploring of the castle.
She found herself rather relieved when they finally reached the doors to her chambers. She pushed them open, making sure the man was in before shutting them. She motioned for him to sit on the couch by the fire place before removing her cloak and tossed it onto the couch next to him before kneeling in front of the man, checking his wounds. She could heal the smaller wounds, but the ones on his back would need to be tended to before hand.
“I’ll run you a bath. A few of these wounds need to be cleaned before I can attempt to heal them.”

He faltered, leaning on her for support a few times before finding steady footing. Loki hated that he had to take her word for this, finding no other party to provide any argument to believe otherwise. He followed her lead and begrudgingly obliged that request.
He grunted when he finally was laid to rest, his aching form finding relief. Loki wrinkled his face in revulsion, that this virtual stranger might see him nude. Valid as her point may be, he was hesitant to this idea at first.
“Fine, that-… Attempt?”
"Don't worry, all I will need is for you to remove your shirt once you are in the tub." She assured him, able to guess what his wrinkled expression must be about. "I'll tend to the wounds on your back, leave you a change of clothes, then I'll leave you to bathe yourself." She didn't want him to feel at all uncomfortable. When he questioned about her attempt to heal him, she gave a small shrug. "If the wounds on your back were fresh, then I would be able to mend them right away. But infection has set in. I'll need to draw it out. That could very well take a few days. All the other cuts and injuries seem to be easy enough to heal without complication however."
She straightened up, heading to her bathing chambers that held what almost looked to be a natural rock pool, large enough for her to soak in her other form if she so wished. She quickly moved about, filling it and pouring salts and oils into the warm water to help numb his pain and relax his sure to be aching muscles.
She quickly returned to his side then, grabbing a change of clothes for him for when he was finished. "Would you like me to help you to the tub?"
