He reached down and pulled up a root, something to rest on while he caught his breath, taking the flask from @Madison Freebird either he was getting old or tired; either way, he needed to take a few seconds to catch himself before he passed out. The bridge was working at the moment, and most of the people were crossing. That, along with the fact the railing was high enough at this point that if someone tried to throw themselves over the edge, he would be able to catch them before they could accomplish it. They were almost done at this point, which would be a wrap-up before he headed somewhere else. "Thanks." Downing the flask with ease before he passed it back to her and just looked at that mess of an abyss before them. It was something to see, in a way, a gaping hole looking to pull people down. And in the back of his head, he couldn't help but wonder if that was how the landers saw them, a thing that would always be there and a thing that was more powerful than they could ever be. And for a second, he wondered how that would make him look at someone like that. Would he have been able to challenge a God?
"I did not expect to see you here, Maddison. I figured something else would have caught your attention in the aftermath of this.....mess." He reached into his pocket, pulled out a new set of leaves, and crushed them into his pipe before taking a long pull of that lavender smoke. He pulled that smoke into his lungs in a way that a practiced smoker would have been able to without choking a long steady stream before blowing it back out and just watching that bridge for a while in silence. Watching those landers make their way over something to find a safe place. "Most of it is done at the moment, and I was just getting ready elsewhere after I wrap up a few loose ends. Few people look for this Ranger Maddison, so what brings you in my direction?"
