Dark brown eyes blinked up at the man, a boy really, who stooped down and started clearing the snow off her body. She was more annoyed than anything else, annoyed that she'd failed at what she was doing and annoyed that someone had seen her do it. She huffed out a breathy laugh as the little firelizard started "helping" along with the boy, he wasn't nearly as helpful as he thought he was but August didn't mind. She squinted a little before remembering that the man was a candidate. Fetch or some such if she remembered correctly.
"I'm okay, not hurt," she replied ruefully, "Just my pride."
When she was finally on her feet August wiped the snow off her front and sighed. There was a little mud on her back where she'd landed in a snowless place but other than that she didn't look too worse for wear. She blew out a breath and thought about his offer. "Well," she started her answer, "I've already got the base finished but if you're willing to help with the rest that would be lovely." She smiled at him, pleased that he had offered to help. If she'd had friends this wouldn't have been an issue. "Do you want to help me get the middle started?"
