He was the thunder she was ready to be struck by.
She was the fire he was ready to burn himself with.

"Yes" Relied the stranger in a timid voice while she wrapped her arms around herself.
"It's not safe for someone like you to roam around in such deep forest all alone" Arjun's voice was colder than he intended. He turned around and picked up the wooden stick before lightening it.
This wounded stranger probably wasn't as comfortable as he was with darkness.
"I'm not 'roaming around' " The timid voice was not so timid this time as it continued "I'm grateful to you sir for saving my life, accept this as a token of my gratitude"
Arjun turned around to reply but his tongue betrayed him when his eyes landed on the ethereal beauty before him.

"It's not safe. First let's get you out of here then we can find out someway to reach out to your horse" Arjun assured
"Bu-" She stopped before as she took a deep breath "Alright" She whispered before her eyes zeroed on his left arm as small gasp left her lips "You're bleeding"
