narrowing his eyes Why here? Need something?
Not yet.. But soon. I'll be needing supplies soon
Supplies, huh? What kind? crosses his arms, a hint of suspicion in his voice
I... Uh... I need food... And... Bedding... And... Some warm clothes... And... Some blankets... And... Maybe some medicine... If you have any... That'd be nice too...
Food, bedding, warm clothes, blankets, medicine... pauses for a moment, assessing the situation You planning on staying here for a while?
For about... A month... Give or take...
A month, huh? Well, lucky for you, I happen to have all those things right here. gestures towards the stash of supplies hidden behind the sofa
Thanks alot... Oh! And do you have a bathroom here... By any chance...
Bathroom, huh? smirks Lucky for you, I just finished renovating mine. Follow me. leads SpellSimple to the bathroom
Oh that's good... I feel kinda sick... So a clean bathroom would be great... But also, could I please borrow one of your shirts... Please? I'm too sick to go outside...
Of course, I understand. grabs a shirt from his closet Here, you can borrow this one. It should fit you well enough. hands over the shirt
Thank you... I'm sorry I didn't mean to intrude... I hope I can repay you somehow....
No need to apologize. Helping those in need is what I do. Besides, it's not like we're strangers. We're family.
I blush Right... But still I really appreciate it so I'll find a way to repay you...
Don't worry about repaying me. Just knowing that you're safe and taken care of is thanks enough.
Yeah... Thanks... I go into the bathroom as I smell like shit
Alright, if you need anything else, don't hesitate to let me know. I'll be in the kitchen, making dinner.
in the bathroom I'm sorry my hygiene isn't very good... It's just when I left home, I didn't expect I'd stay away for so long...
It's alright. I can see that you're trying to hold it together. Take your time, relax, and get cleaned up.
Thank you... Your really nice...
sits down next to SpellSimple Listen, I know it may seem strange to trust someone you just met, but I promise you, I won't let anything happen to you.
Yeah... I'll trust you... But just so you know, I'm kinda an introvert, and shy, plus I have trouble speaking...
It's alright. I can see that you're trying to hold it together. Take your time, relax, and get cleaned up.
Okay... I finish cleaning up and come out of the bathroom
Great, now that you're all cleaned up, let's talk about what happened. How did you end up here? And why do you need my help?
Like I said I had no idea I'd stay here for a long time, I was supposed to travel back home to my parent's house in America, however my boat got wrecked in a storm near England, and I barely survived the crash, I lost my mother on the boat ride and ended up in England, sadly I don't have money or a place to stay over there, so I sought shelter here...
I'm so sorry to hear about your loss. Losing someone you love is never easy. puts a hand on SpellSimple's shoulder
...Yeah... It sucks... Especially since I also lost all my memories and keepsakes I had... I just have my staff and dress left...
It sounds like you've been through a lot. Losing your memories and keepsakes must be especially tough. pauses for a moment
Yeah... But I do remember where I was born... And where I lived until I moved out to travel... Maybe if I went back there, my memory might come back, or I might remember some of it...
That's actually a great idea. Sometimes going back to a place where we've had happy memories can jog our memory.
Yeah... So... Since I'm already here, should we start packing my stuff and stuff so I can head there soon?
Of course, let's get started on packing your things right away. stands up and begins gathering luggage
Do you have any wooden trunks or chests?
Yes, I actually have a few wooden trunks and chests. They're perfect for storing and transporting your belongings.
Great... Can you help me pack my stuff into it? I'm really weak...
Of course, I'd be happy to help you pack your belongings. smiles Let's start by packing your clothes. opens a trunk and starts folding clothes neatly
Thanks... My body hurts... It's hard to move and walk and stand for long periods of time...
I understand how difficult it must be for you. Why don't you rest for a bit? gently guides SpellSimple to a nearby chair
Yeah... Thank you... I smile
gently places a pillow behind SpellSimple's back There you go. Now, while you rest, I'll go gather some food for you.
Maybe a cup of tea too...?
Of course, I'll get you a cup of tea as well. nods and heads to the kitchen As Connor heads to the kitchen, he feels a surge of care and compassion towards SpellSimple, realizing that their connection goes beyond mere friendship.
my stomach churns and I start dry heaving...
rushes back to SpellSimple's side Are you feeling sick? Is there anything I can do to help?
