Oh crap. Was she dead? She was quiet at least, and technically he had not killed her, had he?

First things first: He started dragging her further into the cave, in case the rider would come and have a look. There was a pulse at least, he realized. Did she need medical assistance? It was hard to see how bad it was in the dark. And Steve was mostly confused anyway. She was breathing, so...

He slowly crept to the opening of the cave to see if the coast was clear. Literally.
