Edgar's pleased when Andrew makes it out into the open - at the least it demonstrates that nothing appears to be broken. He can see Andrew toppling, but isn't sure whether he should risk trying to catch him or not. Before he can make up his mind, Andrew's already hit the ground.
Quickly and carefully, Edgar hauls himself up to sit cross-legged by the bushes. They thankfully form a kind of curve that hides the majority of the area from view, and by angling his body the right way, Edgar can mostly block the view from behind him.
He signs to Almondine, who slowly belly crawls the few feet over to lie beside his knee, covering the rest of the space from view. If anyone where to glance their way, it would just look like a boy and his dog taking advantage of the shade the bushes provide.
Confident they won't be noticed, Edgar leans over a little and lays his hand on the ground beside the fallen Andrew. He's afraid he might hurt Andrew by touching him, so he waits, frowning in concern, for the man to right himself and initiate contact again.
