Rincewind steadied himself but still leaning a little into the young man.
"I'm so sorry, I didn't mean to hurt you. The arrow...it bit me after I pulled it out of you. I don't do well with pain. In fact, you might say I'm a pain-avoider-at-all-costs. Not glamorous, but it's a full-time job that keeps me alive."
He smiled at the boy.
"I'm Rincewind the Wizard. It's nice to meet you, even like this. Who are you?"
