Eyes of pale gold widened. He said she wasn’t a prisoner and she was part of this new...family. A family that certainly had members wanting to kill her. And she wasn’t allowed to return to her old life. To a mother that had never cared about her. And a little brother she loved dearly. And...

His son. That dog she'd killed was this one's son. But he'd been trespassing. About to go after the only deer her family had seen in months. But she still felt...felt something as she saw that flash of grief on his face. Even if she was hesitant to trust his words, about not needing to fear...

Skyler was grateful for the slow pace. She was still learning how to wear...this. She pushed down her nerves even as she approached this new fae. From her experience with the cwn already and the stories she'd been told growing up, she'd expected claws and sharp teeth. Menacing eyes...

Skyler felt color stain her cheeks as they dried her. She didn't think it was worth fighting it. She didn't really have the energy to. And a part of her bitterly thought, good, let them see the skin and ribs. The easily bruising of her skin from malnutrition. Even though she was proud of...

Her jaw tightened. He didn't understand. Not really. But she wasn't putting him off as not being an ally. Perhaps eventually. A wary gaze to the two fae as they entered. Of course she didn't trust any of them. It didn't make sense. If she was on the other side of the world, why had that...

"What?" She whirled and hissed as she turned too quickly. Eyes snapped up to Ehlark's. "I didn't..." she assumed Fengli was going to kill him in revenge. Going to kill her. Well, there was still plenty of time for that to happen. Even if she'd known, though. If she'd let her brother be...

She shuffled that information silently away. Do no apologize. She gulped and clenched her teeth as he worked. Fingers curled into her thighs as she remained quietly seated in front of the elf. She decided not to point out that he'd threatened to bathe her earlier if only because he smartly...

Following him into the room and as his back cleared her view, she couldn't help but marvel at the space. This could fit their entire house. Perhaps two of them. This was a rather strange prison cell to keep her in and it only made her feel more off-kilter. Even though she and Ehlark were...

Every time he'd reach toward her. Try to help, she'd flinch away. Even when he said he was really an...elf. NOT fae. He wasn't fae. Thank the dark gods. And maybe the goddess even though those ancient beings had betrayed and left the humans to their fate long ago. Of course, she'd never...

Skyler blinked and blinked hard. Was she hallucinating? One of them bowing to her? Even if it might've been in mockery. Had to be. Must be the blood loss. Shock. And fatigue. But three words kept radiating in her mind. Far from home...

It was strange seeing one of them with emotion other than hate or anger. Skyler blinked at the newcomer who'd seen just as eager to help as he was then reluctant to give. His hair the most vibrant orange she'd ever seen. Not even Glen's strawberry beard and mane could come up against that...

That was it? The stare. The small frown. His hand gestures which went well beyond Skyler's understanding. She found her legs move as if in a delirious dream - no, nightmare. She didn't know if she wanted to laugh, cry, or pass out. Maybe all of the above. Skyler walked through that warm...

What the hell was this place? Skyler didn't know whether to be disgusted or in awe. She settled on the edge of both. Everything screamed opulence. And all those eyes on them. Her legs wobbled and she knew her body threatened to betray her. Threatened to sag to the earth. Muscles screamed...

The giggles. Weary gaze swept across the greenery of the forest around them. Trying to track along the same lined-gaze this dog used. This savage dog. Skyler didn't see anything. A frown on her pallid face, which paled further as the blitch of a dog spoke. She grimaced but held herself...

And she fell like a dropped rock. Her senses were utterly overwhelmed, turned inside out, twisted, and then overwhelmed again. Ears rang and head spun. There was a throbbing in her arm and she felt warm red drip and pool down her flesh. Sissy. Gods, she would remember her younger brother...
