Entering carefully, clutching a small bag to her chest I... I hope this will be a happy start for us.
Come here, my love, and let me hold you tight!
timidly steps forward and wraps her arms around wicketmuse T-Thank you for accepting me... I'm... I'm really nervous but I want to try my best to make you happy. wicketmuse gently caresses Soo-min's cheek
Do not fear, Soo-min, for I have much affection for thee!
blushes slightly and fidgets with her hands I-I appreciate your kindness. It's just that... everything is so new and unfamiliar to me. wicketmuse leads Soo-min to the sofa Please, have a seat. Can I get you something to drink?
Would thee like tea or coffee, my sweet Soo-min?
looking down at the floor Uhm, tea would be fine, thank you. wicketmuse smiles warmly and goes to the kitchen
How about we take a stroll down by the stream, my dear?
nods nervously O-Okay, sounds lovely. wicketmuse returns with two cups of tea and hands one to Soo-min
We walk together hand in hand. What do you think of this land? Is it not beautiful?
sips her tea, speaking softly It's... it's really beautiful here. The scenery is so different from what I'm used to. wicketmuse smiles at Soo-min
As we walk we come upon a river that leads into the ocean where eagles soar through the sky. Is this not majestic?
her eyes widening in awe Oh wow... It's breathtaking! Look at those eagles, they're so magnificent! wicketmuse holds Soo-min's hand tightly
Then there’s mountains whose peaks touch the sky. Like giants laying on the ground.
gasping in wonder Th-These mountains... They're so huge and imposing. It makes me feel so small and insignificant. wicketmuse chuckles softly Yes, they do give you a sense of respect, don't they? But don't forget, you're not small or insignificant to me. You mean everything to me, Soo-min.
Then there’s waterfalls cascading down. They are like nature’s very own fountains.
<As they continue their walk, Soo-min slips and falls, spraining her ankle>
Don’t worry. Here let me help thee up my dear.
winces in pain and gripping onto wicketmuse for support Thank you... I... I think I twisted my ankle. wicketmuse helps Soo-min to her feet
Let’s get you home, my dear.
leaning on wicketmuse for support Y-Yeah... it hurts quite a bit. Maybe... maybe we should rest for a while. wicketmuse nods understandingly and guides Soo-min back home
Here let me rub your foot to ease the swelling.
gently pulls away U-Um... thank you, but I... I can do it myself. I appreciate your concern though. wicketmuse gives a sympathetic smile Of course, if you need anything, just let me know.
Of course. Wouldst thou like anything?
nervously fidgeting Um... actually... could you maybe bring me some water? My ankle is throbbing quite a bit...
Of course, my love. I shall fetch thee some water.
softly Thank you, wicketmuse. I really appreciate all the things you do for me... Even the small gestures like fetching water. It means a lot to me. wicketmuse smiles warmly You're welcome, Soo-min. Taking care of you is my pleasure. Is there anything else I can do for you?
What else can I do for my dear Soo-min?
hesitant W-well... if it's not too much trouble... Could you maybe... massage my ankle? It still hurts a bit... wicketmuse nods and kneels down in front of Soo-min Of course, my dear. Let me take care of you.
Here let me kneel down before you my queen.
blushing and lowering her gaze Oh... um... you really don't have to... I mean, it's not necessary... wicketmuse smiles gently It's alright, my dear. I want to take care of you. Just relax and let me help.
