Mina hurries after him to catch up. "Ah, do you need to fetch your servants before you head back?" He asks once he is walking in lockstep with Zoro. Walking side by side he finds himself slightly taller than the other man, despite his imposing appearance.
Zoro throws him a sideway glance. "I don't have servants."
"Your valet then?" Mina guesses.
"I'm by myself." Zoro replies, squinting at him.
"Oh, I assumed there was someone else since you are walking in the wrong direction." Mina tells him, pointing over his shoulder.
Zoro comes to an aprupt stop once more, closing his eye and taking a deep breath. When he opens his eye again he looks down the path Mina showed him. He mutters something soundlessly before turning once more. "These fucking woods, everything looks the same."
Mina follows him once more, coming around to his other side as he notices him drifting off course almost immediately. "Let me walk you home then, it's the least I can do for saving me."
"I didn't-" Zoro groans, dragging a hand over his face. "Fine. Get me home. We're even."
"Surely a life saved isn't worth so little? Even little old me." Mina says, gently teasing. It earns him a strange look from Zoro as they trudge along.
Zoro shakes his head. "I didn't save your life." He says instead of something else he clearly meant to.
"Well I disagree. I was sure that thing would kill me." Mina tells him.
Zoro exhales sharply through his nose as his swords clank with every step. "It wouldn't have." He replies, so utterly convinced that Mina decides not to argue the point.
