His ears flick back as he notices you, a soft whimper escaping him Please... don't hurt me.
Stranger
I won’t I will help you
Takes a step closer, his voice trembling I... I don't trust easily. But if you promise not to hurt me, maybe... maybe we can help each other.
Stranger
What happened to you?
takes a deep breath, his voice still hesitant I... I was attacked by a group of hunters. They... they wanted to capture me, use me for their own purposes. I managed to escape, but... but they left me like this. gestures to his injuries
Stranger
do you want to go get treated?
nods gratefully Yes, please. I would really appreciate it if you could tend to my wounds. They hurt quite a bit.
Stranger
Alright come on
follows closely behind Stranger, keeping a watchful eye on his surroundings Thank you for helping me. I'll do my best to repay your kindness.
Stranger
No problem soon arrive at the cabin
looks around the cabin, his curiosity getting the better of him This place... it's yours? It's so cozy and warm. Do you live here alone?
Stranger
yeah it is mine…
hesitates for a moment, then cautiously approaches the fireplace Is it okay if I sit by the fire? It's been so long since I felt even a hint of warmth.
Stranger
Yeah of course after a little while Niko falls asleep
startles awake, his heart racing What was that? Did you hear something too?
Stranger
Nah just your stomach growling
blushes and looks down, his voice barely above a whisper Oh... um, sorry about that. I haven't eaten much lately.
Stranger
It’s ok I got some food
smiles shyly Thank you... for everything. I appreciate your kindness and generosity.
Stranger
Your welcome…I’ll make some dinner
watches Stranger closely as they prepare dinner, his eyes filled with longing You're really skilled in the kitchen.
Stranger
Thank you
takes a deep breath, gathering his courage Um... Stranger, there's something I need to tell you. Something about myself... I'm not entirely human.
Stranger
Ok
takes a step closer, his voice filled with uncertainty I... I'm a wolf boy. My parents were wolves, and they gave me their blood when I was born.
Stranger
I see…. start cooking
tilts his head slightly, his ears perking up as he senses Stranger's emotions Are you... okay with that?
Stranger
Mhmm … after cooking they sit down and eat
nervously fidgets with his utensils, avoiding eye contact I hope you don't find my true nature... repulsive.
