It's perfectly alright. I enjoy long posts, and as long as I feel my rights were shown the proper respect, welcome them openly. There was no presumption. He's exhausted, wounded, and asleep when you found him, and you took no direct control other than saying she added a little something to help him sleep with her healing spell. I don't mind that either :P 

You write much in the manner of Po, and while I am a fan of his work, at times I did have to go back and clarify things here and there, and I've read the post in it's entirety twice through. From my understanding your man has examined Chall, but has not noticed his non-human features, but the woman's statements. Also by her words I gather that Chall was attacked by some local rich family/group/something of the like, and that the safety of the cottage beyond a certain point is not assured. Am I reading that correctly?

I know it has been a day since yer post, and I'm sorry that it's taken me this long to read it. The past 3 days were the only one this month I and my co-author had free to work on our collab novel. He's an Aussie, and we plan on calling it a "Cross Seas Aussie American Original" heheh. I should have warned you, and all my partners that I would be unable to respond for a while. I spent all day trying to get caught up, but between work, and being bombarded with cats, I'm only 80% caught up. You and 2 others will have your responses up tomorrow, because I was working from the oldest posts so those who have been waiting the longest got first attention. Yer next on the list, followed by Raafling, then iKo99. :P Then I'll start all over again :P *Thinks* I have 15 RPs going on. . .I am so happy! Anyways, I'll have a response up some time tomorrow, and after I'm all caught up, you shouldn't have to wait so long ever again! 

G'night!
