Altaïr's mention of being an old man earns him a raised eyebrow from Druitt. Admittedly, Druitt is no stranger to the idea of people being sometimes significantly older than they might look, but it's not something he's used to hearing from anyone outside of a very specific subset of people (most of whom aren't currently present in the village). Still, he's not about to point out the fact that Altaïr doesn't strike him as very old, especially when even he notices the confusion that crosses Altaïr's face a moment later.

"There's hardly a need to."

While the comment is offered as much out of the echoes of politeness that still linger in him, there's a truth to it to. It's not any significant trouble, and he takes the offered hand without so much as a second thought. He does, admittedly, pull somewhat more gently than he might for anyone who hadn't just suggested that they might be older than they look, but other than that he wastes no time in helping Altaïr back to his feet.
