[Spencer glances up slightly at the light pressure of her hand against his shoulder.]

It’ll be a few minutes on foot. [He hadn’t anything to stabilize the stick with and she hadn’t any shoes. Yet, all things considered, the optimal course of action seemed obvious enough to him. There's a pause as he looks momentarily to her feet.]

[He wouldn’t be the man he was if he hadn’t his bouts of recklessness, however well-intentioned. But he just couldn’t rest in good conscience knowing that in just a few minutes' time, she could be suffering from frostbite bad enough to warrant the amputation of her toes; or worse. Not to mention he hadn’t appraised her wounds to any great length. How long had she even been out here?

As he saw it, either way he’d suffer shock – until then, the least he could do would be to be useful for as long as he could until they found aid. She could call him an idiot all she liked, if she were the sort -- but it'd have to wait.

I’ll make it. Just get on and I’ll take it from here for as long as I can. [Given that he'd seen her traveling earlier using a stick as a makeshift crutch, he figures he wouldn't be moving any slower, at least.] No swinging - just walking.
