Mathilde had stopped trembling by now, choosing to trust when James told her that Eggsy was safe. The French response put her even more at ease, to the extent that she even gave him a little smile for his effort.
"Oui. Enchanté, Eggsy," she responded, grinning from behind her stuffed bunny.
James felt himself relax a little - she was okay, she was talking, she was smiling. That counted for a lot.
"Come on, we'll get some food," he said softly to her as Eggsy stepped back. He carefully untangled himself, and got to his feet again holding out his hand to Mathilde who took it automatically.
He chuckled softly at Eggsy's quick save, and gave him a grateful look. He had made the situation a little easier already.
"How long have you been here, did you go straight from island to station?"
