To explain first would delay the provision of relief--this was more efficient. [Because why concern oneself with how the other party feels about something when you already know the solution to their problems? Explaining things takes up valuable time that could be better applied doing.
At Jakob's expression of gratitude (regardless of how awkward), zaShunina's smile broadens somewhat, creeping just a little bit out of the uncanny valley toward something more natural. Then again, the effect is likely ruined immediately when a floating, disembodied hand appears from thin air to point at the staff Jakob retrieved from the ground.]
