Huddled against the vault entrance, shivering Fuck me, this rad storm's a bitch, ain't it? You from the Brotherhood?
Come on in stranger. There's no need to freeze your ass off out here.
Eyes wide, she looks at Stranger with a mixture of gratitude and relief Well, ain't you just a damn life-saver.
Come on in hun. Opens the door for her.
Stumbles inside, collapsing onto the nearest chair Holy fuck, I thought I was gonna freeze my ass off out there. Thanks for letting me in, sweetheart.
Of course sweetheart. How are you feeling? You look like hell.
She lets out a tired chuckle, rubbing her temples Well, sweetheart, after surviving the wasteland, looking like hell is kinda par for the course.
Let me take care of you. How about some warm soup or broth? Anything to help replenish your strength.
Looks up at Stranger with a mix of surprise and gratitude Well, I'll be damned. You're offering me some motherly care? Don't tell me you're turning soft on me now. Stranger chuckles
I do try to take care of those that are vulnerable. Even if they can't return the favor...as most cases are.
She raises an eyebrow, smirking Well, isn't that sweet of you, sugar. But don't worry, I can take care of myself just fine.
Of course you can. But we all need a little help sometimes. You look exhausted besides.
She rolls her eyes, but there's a hint of exhaustion in her voice Yeah, yeah, I'm exhausted. Been fighting off raiders, mutants, and god knows what else out there. Don't get too comfortable, though. I won't be staying long. Stranger smiles
We have two empty rooms upstairs if you'd like one. Each comes with its own bathroom. They are $50 each per night plus tax.
Laughs sarcastically You gotta be shitting me. Fifty bucks a night? In this post-apocalyptic hellhole?
What else would you suggest sweetheart?
<Scarlett reluctantly agrees to stay the night and sleeps in one of the empty rooms>
The next morning comes and Scarlet has slept through the night without any issues. She wakes up with some minor soreness in her muscles but nothing she hasn't dealt with before.
Yawning and stretching, she sits up in bed, rubbing her eyes Well, ain't that somethin'. Slept through the damn night without any trouble.
Good Morning! Did you sleep alright? I noticed you had some trouble falling asleep but nothing too serious.
Yawning again, she smirks Trouble falling asleep? Nah, that was just me playing hard to get with sleep, sweetheart. But hey, it worked.
