"My pleasure. Do call me Erin. Once we get out of here we can get whatever wound's got you limping treated but I really do not wanna fight this thing again. If I have to light this store on fire a second time I'm gonna fucking lose it."

Erin turns when she gets to the entrance of the store, still on guard, and waves for Dedue to move past her; she's not gonna get close enough to touch him, not if he can walk on his own even a little, but it wouldn't do to just blithely stroll out and then hear the new guy getting eaten.

"My god, you're actually a few inches taller than me. Miracles do happen. I uh, hope you get on with short people 'cause you're gonna be meeting...a lot of them...here soon."
