[div style="text-align: justify; width:490px;font-size:9.2pt; line-height:1.4"]Ellie made it a point from a young age to orchestrate a careful plan before approaching an issue. She hadn't faced any dire situations wherein choices could determine whether she walked away, but insects -with other interests in astronomy and botany- were her life, and botching any of her research or her experiments would have strongly rebelled against her composure and peace of mind. She wasn't certain if it was some kind of inherited trait among the Cross family to proceed meticulously with everything, but it was certainly how she went about making decisions for herself, regardless of what they involved. Even coming to Flintlock hadn't necessarily been spontaneous- the only part of her recent life that wasn't what she had planned was meeting Jo, because running into someone in pursuit of a butterfly wasn't the kind of scheming Ellie got up to. People weren't her strong suit, after all, which was something she and Jo seemed to have in common, and that was one of the first tethers between them. Jo didn't mind so much having to listen to Ellie's rambling, and Ellie nurtured a gentle kind of affection for her that had Ellie wondering if maybe she should be a bit more spontaneous if it meant such outcomes. She probably wouldn't considering she was content with her place now, but it was something to consider. In the meantime, there were plenty of other matters that required her attention.

This appeared to be one of them.

Originally, Ellie only approached because of Jo, but when she soon discovered what had Jo's attention, her walk, while not quite swift, was brisker than it was. The stranger she was with looked worse for wear, though he was making his way to his feet, which was something. It meant he wasn't dead, at least- Ellie was no expert on human anatomy, only insects'. They had the right idea evolving an exoskeleton. Standing at Jo's back with enough room left for the woman to stand back up, Ellie folded her hands behind her back and raised an eyebrow into the edge of her cap. "We probably have someone back at the lodge, if you think you can walk that far. Were you heading anywhere specific before your...accident?" They could point him in whatever direction once they took him back for an examination, and maybe after he ate something.
