It wasn't much, but the cop was able to give Asha a little space. The punched guy returned, and his offer darkened Eli's expression with doubt. The guy was hardly in the kind of shape to be helping people. He needed to help himself.
Asha kindly rejected the offer. She was too open hearted. Ironic given how much she sensed of other people's hearts. It would do her some good to put herself first too. Doubtful she would listen to the suggestion anyway.
"She needs some time. She will be okay now."
He directed the answer to the punched guy, whose accent incidentally was of familiar drawl of Texan. In fact, he seemed familiar in general, but Eli couldn't place how he would know a Texan.
For his question, Eli had no answer. Despite his counter culture appearance, he'd never been in a physical fight before. If a doctor was needed, he had no clue. "You should ask the cop. I bet he's seen a black eye or two before."
When they were left alone, he turned to Asha.
"It's your Sentient thing, isn't it? Do you want to leave? I came to see Ascendancy but I'll take you."
