[ One quick peer into the room below confirms it's exactly where he wants to be, though that's confirmed more by hearing Steve's voice than by the man staring up at him like he's the strangest sight of the day. And, well - Claude just might be. ]
Good news, if we can get back up to the roof there's a much easier way back around than all of us having to clear where the floor's collapsed out there.
[ This is announced while he surveys the ground below, notes a few pieces of furniture they can repurpose as a makeshift ladder to the roof again, and then there's nothing to do but lower himself by gripping a roof beam and dropping to the floor below him with slightly less grace than he would've hoped. No matter; he's still counting it a success. While Steve works on clearing the doorway, Claude turns to the man who is, understandably, looking at him skeptically. ]
He's much better at moving heavy things than I am. [ Said with a nod back over his shoulder in Steve's direction and with a smile exaggerated so it'll hopefully show despite his mask, which makes the man relax ever so slightly. That's a good start. ] My name's Claude, it's nice to meet you. Would you mind if I checked you over a bit before we get you out of here?
[ There's a begrudging sort of acceptance and Claude hands over his waterskin to the survivor before going through a list of basic battlefield assessment now bolstered by what Nadine's taught him. The man is in good shape all things considered, though there's a particularly nasty looking scrape along one of his forearms Claude would feel much better about healing slightly before they go on the move. ]
I'd like to help with this if I can. Is it alright if I use some healing magic on you? You'll still need to get checked out in one of the infirmaries but this should take any pain away. [ He glances up to be met with a frown, and, well. He gets that. Probably falls under the kind of magic the Free Cities questions, if Claude had to guess. ] You don't have to if it makes you uncomfortable, promise. If you'd like to see what it'll do before deciding, I can use it on Steve first. Well, assuming Steve's also okay with it. If not, I have some supplies with me I can use to clean that wound which should also make it feel much better.
