Going on hikes is a form of getting out of the house which doesn't require a car, so Xander does it most weekends. Mostly he walks a particular set of trails which he's timed out to last a certain number of podcast episodes, but he's nearing the end of the season and it's narratively very tense and he can tell he'll want to keep going for longer than usual. So he takes a new turn.
There's not much left in his bottle but she can have the rest of it. To the extent that he can get it in her mouth.
He runs his hands through his hair a few times, then abruptly feels for his pockets - "Also a Clif bar?"
She is capable of opening her mouth in response to this but not really moving in other ways.
She is taken aback for a moment, then in a rush replies: "- never give me an order that I do not request of my own uncommanded will unless it is a rescindment."
Pause.
"Why did you do that?"
He tries to think of a harmless order - probably just 'speak to me' again will do fine, right -
"...very easily. You could very easily not have given me your name. If you'd done that before you'd fed me we'd have been in a pickle but fortunately it was in the other order."
"...a strange person who wants to envassal himself to the first random fairy he meets."
"You're not random! You're injured and in some sort of predicament and I already had power over you! It's just squaring up," he lies.
