Oh no, he won't. Although she will concede on waiting until she's recovered properly, and so has her team. And she is grateful to have met him, to have been found by him. One of the few times they're expedition had turned out terribly at the start, she was glad to have met him and that he found them.
"Thank you." She took a few careful sips of the water at first, satisfying her thirst. And then quickly finishing it off when she realized just how thirsty she was. Even if a little voice at the back of her mind warned her that it might just make her sick so soon after waking up.
"I can't thank you enough, Father Nightroad... It can't have been easy but- thank you. So much. For helping us."
The sight of her relief is well worth the risk. He trusted his intuition when he sensed trouble from the start, and people called him mad to risk going into the jungle to search for her and her crew, but it's worth it. The last thing Abel need to know is a missing person report in the news.
"Ms. Laura, please. It's no problem at all. As all of you are safe." And they must have families and friends back home to consider. "You're welcome. I'm just glad all of you are safe."
Whether she would be well enough to try another expedition again or maybe he's hoping she will change her mind again to go home back to England and choose the safe route. He hoped he might be able to convince her of the latter choice.
He touched her forehead. His hands are warm and big. She is still warm, slightly feverish. "But first, let's get your fever down. I'll go find the nurse to give you more medicine. I imagine you need more bed rest."
The priest has many tasks to do and he must leave her soon, but not before he soaked a clean towel with cold water to put on her forehead to cool her down to battle the heat and humidity of the day.
