Pierre #8
A groan left Pierre's lips as he felt the extent that his little escapade through the fire had cost him. Quite some bit of his body felt raw to say the least, he suspected he'd earned himself multiple burns for that. Unfortunate, it'd make baking an annoyance for a little while, he glanced over his hands, nothing too major. That at least was a hopeful sign. He grunted to himself in as reassuring of a manner as he could manage.
It was then that they came leaping out, sort of. It looked like using the polearm she carried as a vaulting stick the woman had thrown herself over the flames. She landed, ... well? He wanted to say, but then again she seemed to nearly fall forwards from the weight of the second person landing with her. Pierre watched more amused as she momentarily gathered her balance beneath her. Bringing his hands together he clapped them together very thankful that he hadn't earned himself any burns on the palms.
"Nice landing." He said nothing if not amused by the moment. He earned what looked like a little laugh. As he came closer still she put to him a question. He scratched his head wondering why, he blinked a few times considering it before shrugging the question off.
Pierre paused thinking for a moment his head turned slightly as he tried to orient himself. "Mmmmmm ..." He turned about on his feet for one full round before pointing away from the fiery market behind them. "Ocean should be, that-a-way. But just in case I'll lead." He said jogging off across the open field of non-farm land.
Behind him Pierre was quite aware of the fire still going on. He hoped for the best for the village folk to put it out. If what he knew about the devilish fruits was true, it was more important for the village that the girl he'd just knocked out was calmed down. And if whoever this was thought the nearest body of water would help, Pierre suspected his time was better spent helping her.
