[She made it worse. How did she make it worse? Kalmiya is familiar with arcane means through which dreams can be made into avenues of violence, but Arthur is from a nonmagical world. Most people appreciate the reminder when something frightening isn't real.

She doesn't understand, but she has no way to reach an understanding right now. Arthur is clearly not in a spot to answer questions. What's important, what's immediate, is that he's in pain. And she may have fumbled her first move, but she told him he wouldn't be alone. Even if that means there's nothing more she can do besides sit with him and keep her mouth shut. Sometimes that's really all one can give; there are some wounds for which there is no further treatment. There's only quiet support and time.

She keeps an even keel, the urgency at the core of her soft words purposeful rather than panicked.]
For company? Of course.

Tell me where to go. I'll be there. [She can come to him, she can meet him somewhere, she can stay where she is—whatever he needs. Inconvenience is of no concern to her, be it distance, weather, or Hosts. He was there when she needed someone. She'll kill a thousand Hosts to get to him if that's what needs to be done.]
