Now I'm really curious as to Xira's motivations. Is he like... trying really hard to get into Tareth's pants? Why is he doing so much to help, and what would he be doing if he hadn't run into Tareth? Why help Jonan, but apparently hurt this person? WHAT'S GOING ON!?

Now that I've thought about it a bit... I get the impression this is going to be about Tareth collecting bad guys and turning them into good guys.

Can't he be just a boy who doesn't want to idly go by when he realizes that someone is in dire need (even life-threatening) and he may be able to help? Why is it strange that he did not just say:
"Oh, well, this sucks, but I'm sure you can figure out something with your unconscious friend here who is also a well-loathed person whom many want to see dead and his not at all suspicious zombi-pony (aka ABOMIATION - translated to Common). Even though you are a frail, deaf young girl on your own in an alien huge city possibly full of underdogs and also trigger-happy "demon hunters". Oh and I guess you don't have any money either, do you? Well, good luck! 8D"

Yeah.... <_<
ps. No offense

You have to keep in mind that Xira was able to "hear" Tareth's desperation. A highly empathic person would have a lot of trouble just walking past that.

Also, I've got a sneaking suspicion Xira had... almost nothing to do today, aside from find food and a place to sleep. He "kinda lost" his trading group (*ahem* WAS EXILED FOR BEING A WITCH *cough cough cough*), perhaps very recently, and I'd bet he is pretty much in survival mode, and actually relieved to have someone else's problems to deal with.

Woah, I do wonder if he got in trouble or maybe got seperated because some other group picked a fight over his mind reading, but why would you assume they exiled him just for being a witch? If babies show runes since birth and all, and blonde-black hair would be pretty obvioohwaitbuttheturban do you think his parents hid his abilities from the rest of the group?? O_O

Also the very fact that he is blone, that he is half-vaerenski might have added to some folks... displeasure. Though we don't know how racist they are or are not.

That could be too. I guess we'll have to wait and see, but I think his methods are a bit extreme for straight up good samaritaning. On the other hand, him being a mind reader and stuff, he might not realize how shocking and arguably downright evil his methods seem to be. On yet another hand, he did tell Tareth to wait outside... I just don't know him well enough yet to figure out what he's up to and why, so I'm throwing wild guesses out there.

tl;dr his intentions may be good and earnest and true, but look at what he just did.
