The huntress had
dragged the barely living demon back to her quarters in the forest. She
didn't now any spells to help him regain his energy, so all she could do was
let him rest and wait.
She wanted to know his secrets.
|
The demom was
pulled out from his darkness by a light tinkle coming from close by.
He felt oddly warm although being rather sure he'd never made it out of the
snow.
|
Trying to focus
red eyes on the all-white ceiling, he pulled his hand out from underneath
heavy furs.
|
A motion which
did not go unnoticed by Tanith. She may not be able to feel him but she
could still hear him move
|
Her fingers
wrapped around the handle of her dagger.
"No sudden moves or they'll be your last." she threatened firmly.
|
The demon turned
towards the voice, slightly surprised that it was female. "I don't think I
could move quickly, even if I wanted to" he spoke quietly, feeling his body being completely
out of energy.
|
Slowly, he moved
more furs from on top of him.
|
Purple eyes
watched him suspiciously.
|
The demon looked
around at the white walls of fabric, "Where am I?"
|
"...In my tent."
|
"Tent? In the
middle of winter?"
|
"I've had to
stay longer than anticipated." She paused, what the hell was she doing?
Small talking with a stranger. A potentially dangerous stranger.
"Did I do right saving you or should I have let you die in the snow?" she
demanded.
|
"Oh, no. I'm
grateful. I'd show you just how much but I can barely move my legs."
|
"I'd prefer you
didn't move them, anyway." She didn't know what he might do, and she did not want to
stain her home with blood.
|
The demon turned
back to look at her, his red eyes flashing momentarily; "Lady, you have some
serious trust issues."
"Tanith." she corrected him.
