There was a moment of clearly palpable tension in the air where neither of them dared to make a move, even if their motives were different, little by little it became clear that neither of them had any intention of continuing the conflict which gave relief to Desmond who was on the losing side in the previous exchange.
Seeing that the girl didn't seem to have any intention of murdering him, Desmond decided to try talking to her: "Would you mind giving me a hand miss?"
The girl's blue eyes hesitated for a moment, but her instincts were as sharp as a beast raised in the wild, she had relied all her life on her instincts to stay alive and escape from all kinds of dangerous situations so in the end the girl approached Desmond with evident embarrassment in her demeanor and helped Desmond up from the ground.
