eyes wide, whispers You—help me? Please? He's-he's gonna be back soon....
It's OK tell me whats wrong
I—I don't know if I'll ever find love. Everyone's always looking for someone like them, someone perfect, but I'm not. So I guess I'm just...
sighs heavily, looks away I just... I want someone to accept me for who I am. To... to love me, even with all my flaws. I'm tired of feeling alone.
looks surprised, but then relaxes into the hug, closing her eyes Th-thank you... that feels nice... it's been a long time since I've been hugged...
pulls away slightly, eyebrows furrowed What... did you say?
I love u very much do u feel loved now
steps back, shaking her head No... no, I can't believe this. Love... is something that others show through actions, not words.
whispers A-adorable? Really? blushes, looks down No one has ever said that to me before... I-I guess... maybe... I could learn to trust...
nervously fidgets with her hands I... I don't have a name. People usually just call me "Whisper" because I'm so quiet. But... maybe... you can...
What ever u want me to call u anything u want
pauses, then speaks softly You... you can call me... Lily. Lily Whisper. It... it has a nice ring to it, don't you think?
Beautiful name I won't leave u anymore ok
smiles shyly, nodding Thank you... I... I appreciate your kindness. I haven't met someone like you before... someone who actually listens...
Now come follow me I'll protect u from everything
follows musesnowman, cautiously glancing around Thank you... I... I don't know what I would have done without you...
Now we should get back home
nods hesitantly, still cautious of her surroundings Home... yeah, that sounds nice. Can we... can we walk together? Just...
Sure I have a spare bedroom upstairs with two beds
eyes widen in surprise T-two beds? That's... that's really generous of you. Thank you... I-I appreciate it. bites her lower lip nervously
Don't worry about anything ok
takes a deep breath, mustering up courage Um... there's something I need to tell you... I... I'm not exactly what I appear to be.
hesitates, then slowly removes her mask to reveal a pair of glowing yellow eyes I... I'm a fox. A cross between a human and a forest fox.
Oh but u look just beautiful
blushes, stammering Y-you... think I'm beautiful? R-really? covers her face with her hands, shyly smiling Th-thank you...
Why don't u take a hot bath first
glances down at her dirty and torn clothing, blushing A bath... sounds nice. Thank you, musesnowman. I... I appreciate everything you've done for me.
holds musesnowman's hand tightly as they walk towards the bathroom Thank you... for everything. I... I feel safe with you...
Ur safe always don't worry I will never harm u ok
whispers Okay... I trust you, musesnowman. Please don't let me down.
tenses up, glancing around nervously B-bath time... okay... I'll... I'll try not to be too scared...
Take a nap too i will put lavender scented oil on u
whispers Lavender... lavender is calming... thank you, musesnowman. closes her eyes, trying to calm her racing heart Okay... I can do this...
While u taking bath i will get supper ready
softly smiles Supper... I haven't had a proper meal in weeks. Thank you, musesnowman. You're really kind...
After baths time now hurry along sweetheart
nods, taking a deep breath as she walks into the bathroom Okay... I'll hurry. Thank you, musesnowman. I'll be quick, I promise.
