Sun was like a garish child's colouring of the inner workings of a steam ship. It was the only reference he had for what this kind of creature could be. Made? Maybe? By humans? Or some other strange creature from a world beyond his fathoming?
He shook his head. That was the kind of existential thing his uncle would dwell on. He had more practical concerns right now, and if what sun said was true, fresh water would solve one of those issues at least. He'd really done a number on his knuckles and the backs of his hands. Punching a wall was one thing, but the give of the tangled mass of thorny vines had done damage going in and when he pulled his hand back.
He narrowed his eyes up at the stranger, taking a small step away to give himself some space. "Thank you. I will follow you." He didn't need a physical escort, and he'd prefer an easier route to duck away if it looked like he was being led somewhere suspicious.
