Jared offered a hand to help Jay stand up. Despite his injury, the man was trying hard. He could imagine that Jay was probably getting bored. Things had quieted down, so even the healthy Legionnaires were stuck with just patrol duty. He couldn't imagine what is like to just sit on the sidelines while tension just built around you. Jared assumed he would feel helpless.
Jared waited until Jay had his balance and gestured for him to follow. Holding mana, Jared was certain that should Jay stumble, he would be able to react on time, but he would allow the soldier to keep his dignity by allowing him to move on his own.
Jared offered a simple explanation as they walked, "You're just going to help me with some drills. It's nothing difficult."
Jared kept next to Jay as they walked, having to consciously make the effort to walk slowly, but he didn't mind. He was going to have to tell Jay about magic soon, but didn't want others to hear. He was pretty sure Commander Danjou didn't want everyone to know yet, and it Jared's opinion it was up to the commander who needed to know and who didn't.
They arrived at a part of the complex that was relatively unused, so Jared further explained, keeping his voice low. "I'm not sure Commander Danjou wants this to be known by many people, so you'll have to keep this to yourself. In his briefing the other day, the Commander mentioned people that could use magic. I'm one of those people and you're supposed to assist me in practicing."
Jared was unsure of how the man would react, but tried to keep the tone light. He turned his head to face Jay and said with a grin. "Don't worry, I won't saw you in half or anything."
