Verissa stuck her locked hands out, nodding as he told her that he'd ask if he needed anything from her. When her wrists were freed, she stretched and rubbed them. They weren't sore or hurting, it was just habit after having been confined. She wasn't sure what she'd need, but it was... comforting to know that she might be able to ask. It was weird having next to nothing. Especially since she would no longer be able to earn anything more. What she had would have to last her, unless Asher decided to give her more. 

She listened as he told her she needed to change his dressings, then work at the healer's tent. She might've smiled had she still not felt like a prisoner. But at least her captor didn't seem to be cruel. He'd even complimented her. But all she heard was the chance to get out. She just had to bandage him up and she could get out of this pavilion, to throw herself into her slave work. It would be good to get her mind off things. 

She continued listening to his commands, nodding, that he wanted her to help him with dinner in the evening. But then he said they were moving camp soon. And any possible hope of rescue was gone. She knew Scream Watch would send out raiding parties and the like after the raid. And sometimes they came back with people who'd been taken. But if their camp would be moving, she wouldn't be there to be rescued. She heard his unnecessary words about not running. Where would she go? She was surrounded by savages in a land of monsters and dangers, with no practical skills for getting home. Healing was well and good, but did no good when lost in the grasslands.

When he reached out and touched her, she shuddered at the gentle caress, [color=f6989d][b]"Yes. I won't run." [/b][/color] She quickly turned away from him to the tent flap, her chest tightening, as she stepped into the air, her pups following her. The air was crisp, the sun brightening everything, as she took in the already busy camp. People were busy, and Verissa knew that back in her village, she'd be waking up, and checking her apothecary. Her pups would be doing their normal perimeter check of her yard, she'd be taking in the aroma of her many dried plants. She'd cook up some food for her and them, then set out for her morning walk, before getting the shop ready for the day.

But now, she was just watching people move back and forth, some glancing at her before looking away, going about their business. It was like no one wanted their eyes to stay too long on her. She moved around the back of the pavilion, between it and another, finding some privacy as she relieved herself, her pups having already done so. Her stomach growled as she stood, but she didn't want to go back in, not yet. She felt tears trying to well up once again, but she stifled them, remembering her self promise. She took a deep breath, then walked back in. 

There were pancakes hot and ready, she smelled cinnamon. It reminded her of when she'd made the mulled wine, before these heathens slaughtered her people. She was hungry, as she sat at the table, the plate before her smelling delicious, her stomach grumbling loudly. She silently began eating, knowing that it tasted good, but still felt like she was eating chalk. She gave some to her pups, wishing she had more meat to give them. They were growing, and would need more. Maybe she could find some later. 

When she was finished, she pushed her plate aside, not sure how to go about cleaning up. But it was time to dress his wounds. [color=f6989d][b]"Can you sit please? I'll change your dressings now."[/b][/color] She put a pot of water on the stove to boil, tossing in some salt, and reaching for her kit. She looked down and saw both her pups staring at her, [color=f6989d][b]"Go relax loves. We'll go outside soon."[/b][/color]

Remus laid down at her feet, while Remilia moved over next to Asher and just stared at him. She didn't seem to want pet or anything, just content to stare at him. Verissa put her kit on the table, and began getting ready as she waited on the water to boil. She was now thinking about how he said to ask for anything she might need, [color=f6989d][b]"I'm... I'm going to need more clothes, I was only able to bring what I wore and one other outfit." [/b][/color]
