Cole follows. His eyes dart from place to place, scanning the area, trying to make certain nobody else is coming their way or coming to find them. But he can't help but be drawn back to Ashitaka's mark and more often than not, he finds himself looking at the other man's arm.
He asked a question though, so it's only sensible that Cole answer. Unfortunately, he's not the best at things like 'straightforward answers'. And likewise, he still doesn't fully know how he knows. Cole's at a crossroads: a spirit borrowing the body of a human, pulled in two different directions. Maybe he'll know more about how he knows later. Right now, he just knows.
"It hurts you. I can tell when people are hurting. And then I help." Or, at least, he tries to help.
And, without even realizing it, Cole dives further, picking up on more of Ashitaka's hurt and more of his suffering. The mark on his arm, something wide and wild, a monster of a mark that would soon devour him whole...but wasn't? But didn't right now? He frowns still, downright staring at Ashitaka's arm. "Caged creatures can be the most dangerous of them all."
