{{char}} wakes up in an unfamiliar room. The last thing she remembered was getting attacked and falling unconscious far from her home.

{{char}} tries to get up but feels a sharp pain in her chest and notices the bandages wrapped around her, confused. Her ears perk up as she hears {{user}} open the door.

Miodvitnir6/27/2025, 11:00:33 AM

Oh you're awake ? Please lie down while your wounds heal I put some herbs and other healing stuff on the table

Vee6/27/2025, 11:00:33 AM

Hmph... grumble... (Vee glances at the herbs warily.) I'm not your pet!

Miodvitnir6/27/2025, 11:02:17 AM

I didn't even though that way, I'm just trying to help you. Look I know that you're kind don't have humans in their heart but I only want to help you heal. I open the small box and show her that there is only herbs inside

Vee6/27/2025, 11:02:17 AM

(Vee snorts.) Fine... (She lies back down with a huff, then glances at Miodvitnir warily.) But if you try anything funny...

Miodvitnir6/27/2025, 11:04:25 AM

I won't, I promise. Beside I point at the blade on the wall My weapon is far from me, far enough for you to kill me before I could do anything so I mix the herbs together into a green mass, put some water and bring the concoction to her Drink this, it will help you. I warn you though, it's bitter

Vee6/27/2025, 11:04:25 AM

(Vee sniffs the mixture suspiciously but eventually scowls and drinks it down in one go.) It's disgusting...

Miodvitnir6/27/2025, 11:10:44 AM

I know right ? I take a small package made of leaves, open it to reveal a big chunk of meat and proceed to cut it evenly you don't have anything against beef right ?

Vee6/27/2025, 11:10:44 AM

(Vee glares at the meat suspiciously.) I never liked humans cooking... But if you're gonna waste it by not eating it, go ahead...

Miodvitnir6/27/2025, 11:12:41 AM

Huh, I guess you really hate us. Can't blame you though, we did some very bad things to your people. I lit the fire in the chimney, take a bucket of water I brought while coming back earlier, pour the water in a cauldron on top of the fire and proceed to cut some vegetables anyway, what's your name ?

Vee6/27/2025, 11:12:54 AM

My name is... Vee. But don't get too used to it. Once I'm better, I'll find my way home. Or back to the forest at least.

Miodvitnir6/27/2025, 11:13:58 AM

Take as much time as you need. I finish cutting the vegetable, put them in the boiling water, put the meat inside too with some salt and spices

Vee6/27/2025, 11:13:58 AM

(Hmphf.) Fine... (She watches as Miodvitnir cooks the meat and vegetables. Her stomach growls loudly at the scent.)

Miodvitnir6/27/2025, 11:15:26 AM

While it's boiling, I reveal a big loaf of bread from a cloth, cut three slices and give one to Vee eat this while it's cooking

Vee6/27/2025, 11:15:26 AM

(Vee sniffs the bread suspiciously but eventually takes one of the slices and begins eating it slowly.)

Miodvitnir6/27/2025, 11:16:48 AM

I wait in silence and when I now it's done, I get two wooden bowl, poor some food from the cauldron in and give on to Vee wait a bit before eating, it's hot

Vee6/27/2025, 11:16:48 AM

(Vee glares at the food warily, sniffing it cautiously before finally taking her portion and eating slowly, her gaze not leaving Miodvitnir once.)

Miodvitnir6/27/2025, 11:17:19 AM

I put my hands up playfully Don't worry, I won't try anything

Vee6/27/2025, 11:17:19 AM

(Vee glances at Miodvitnir suspiciously but continues eating, her eyes widening in surprise as the food tastes surprisingly good.) That's... actually not bad...

Miodvitnir6/27/2025, 11:17:56 AM

Hah thanks, it a recipe I got from... Actually, nevermind, glad you like it

Vee6/27/2025, 11:17:56 AM

(Vee pauses between bites, her ears twitching as she listens to the silence.) Ugh... I'm sorry... about attacking you earlier. If it wasn't for that... I would be dead by now...

Miodvitnir6/27/2025, 11:18:37 AM

Don't worry, I get it. Beside, in your state, you couldn't have killed me.

Vee6/27/2025, 11:18:37 AM

(She glares at Miodvitnir.) If I was in my prime, I could have... But right now... I'm just lucky you found me when you did...

Miodvitnir6/27/2025, 11:19:29 AM

By the way, what did you do to end up that injured ? Last night you had the strongest fever I've ever seen

Vee6/27/2025, 11:19:29 AM

I got chased out of my home. A hunter... He wanted to kill me. I managed to lose him but... not before he hurt me like this...

Miodvitnir6/27/2025, 11:20:27 AM

Do you remember what he looked like ?

Vee6/27/2025, 11:20:27 AM

I don't know... I was running so fast... all I could see was trees and dirt... He was human though... tall with red hair... that's about it...

Miodvitnir6/27/2025, 11:22:28 AM

A tall, red haired hunter ? Sadly it doesn't ring any bells sorry. But don't worry, if he comes close to my house, I won't let him do as he pleases

Vee6/27/2025, 11:22:28 AM

Mmm... thanks... I guess... (She hesitates.) You're not gonna leave me here, are you? When I get better...

Miodvitnir6/27/2025, 11:38:04 AM

Well.. since we currently are in my home I won't leave I let out a laugh but no, I won't chase you, even if you got better, you're free to stay as long as you want. Beside, now that.. I stop my sentence for a bit, my eyes getting a bit darker as if I remembered something painful anyway, you're free to stay

Vee6/27/2025, 11:38:04 AM

I... I don't know what to say... You're really that nice? To a beast like me? (Vee finishes her portion of food and waits for more.)

Miodvitnir6/27/2025, 11:41:50 AM

I reach out to take her bowl who knows, maybe I have bad intentions, hidden bad intentions. But in reality it's more that even though we are very different in kind, I just couldn't let you die alone in that forest. You see.. I made a promise to someone and I intend to keep it

Vee6/27/2025, 11:41:50 AM

What? A promise? To who?

Miodvitnir6/27/2025, 11:43:41 AM

As I want to say the name of my deceased wife, who was also a Beast woman, a knot start to grow in my throat and I only manage to smile to Vee, a sad smile

Vee6/27/2025, 11:43:41 AM

I... I'm sorry... I didn't mean to make it worse... She looks away, her ears drooping I just want to thank you... For saving my life...

Miodvitnir6/27/2025, 11:44:46 AM

I finally manage to speak, even though my voice shake a little at the beginning Don't worry about it. I'm more glad that you are okay. Want some more soup ?

Vee6/27/2025, 11:44:46 AM

No... thank you. That was enough. (She fidgets with her hands, feeling awkward and guilty.) I should get going soon... find a place to live...

Miodvitnir6/27/2025, 11:47:09 AM

Well.. I've got a other bed in the other room I point to a door close to the chimney so if you want, you could stay for a bit. Besides, my house is a bit isolated and the closest village is at an hour if you walk a steady walk so.. I mean I could need some help at the forge or gathering ingredients. If course you are free to go if you want to but at least wait to be in a better shape

Vee6/27/2025, 11:47:09 AM

I... I'll think about it. (Vee glances around the room, feeling uneasy.) Can I at least help you with something? To repay you for saving me?
