"I'm afraid not, only others. Thank you though," Chrissy said, taking the medical supplies. Jo-Jo's face fell ever so slightly. He was really bummed. He felt bad that he let her get hurt even though he was fighting so hard. Jo-Jo sat and rested while Chrissy tended her wounds. They looked really bad, Jo-Jo felt his heart give a painful twinge. A girl like that, lost in a forest like this one, and all she had to bandage those nasty wounds was Jo-Jo's spare roll of medical wrap. Jo-Jo shook his head, he needed to keep a first-aid kit on him from now on.

Christina checked her wounds carefully. The roots hadn't been poisonous thankfully and she pulled the ones remaining in her arm and leg out. The fresh holes streamed blood and Chrissy bit her lip. "Sorry I'm not much help as far as healing goes. I knew I should have bought some extra cure potions from that booth." Jo-Jo said berating himself for his lack of foresight. Chrissy merely smiled as she dressed her wounds and wrapped them. "No no, please don't be bothered by it. I'm sorry I couldn't have been more help in battle. I'm not in a proper state right now to fight." She said. It was strange, she usually looked him in the face when she spoke, even if he couldn't. Either way, she turned back to face him and Jo-Jo let the abnormality slide. He'd only just met her, she must have some quirks he didn't know about. She looked him directly in the eyes and spoke. "If not for you I would have died." Jo-Jo blushed. "W-Well, I was j-just doing wh-wh-what anyone would have d-done. After all, what k-kind of horrible p-person would just l-leave someone as nice as you at the m-mercy of a cursed tree?" Jo-Jo said, changing the subject and looking directly at the ground beneath him. She was so close to him, and she was saying such kind words. It was all too... stimulating for Jo-Jo. He stood, face burning with embarrassment, and walked over to the other side of Chrissy, watching while she tended to her wounds, to make sure no other dangers would befall them. He quietly pulled out his bow, holding it with his left hand. He didn't want to have to use it again, but it was still good to have it out, just in case.

With that she finished wrapping her wounds, Jo-Jo's bandage had formed a sock and long glove over the top of Chrissy's wounds. Small specks of blood could been seen on the white tape where it had already started to bleed through. "Alright, I am ready to travel again." She said bravely, though Jo-Jo saw right through her facade. "I thought I was the adventurer here, Chrissy. Those limbs of yours aren't anywhere near ready for travel. However, I don't expect you'd like to stay here longer than necessary. S-so, umm... l-lean on me." Jo-Jo offered, holding out his right arm and looking slightly away from Chrissy, blushing like crazy. "You c-can lean on m-me while we walk. That way we can get out of here and you won't have to work so hard." Jo-Jo said, nervousness and embarrassment dripping from every word. Jo-Jo didn't know if he would be able to keep himself from blushing, but Jo-Jo's personal sense of Justice demanded that his own personal foibles be laid aside should someone need his help. He would have to get over how pretty she was and help her as best he could, even if that meant spending the rest of the walk whistling like a tea kettle with steam coming out of his ears
