"Aslatiel"

Pain and deliriousness had consumed the girl from the moment she'd broken her leg. Her aunt Iolaire had kept her drugged with cannabis, willow bark and belladonna. Yes, the last was a poison, but even poisons could be beneficial when used correctly. Io had sent teas and tinctures home with Basilisk, trusting the young man to do right by Aslatiel. He had been administering the medicines regularly and so the injured girl had been mostly sleeping since it happened.

Today, Bas had given Asla her medicine then had gone off to catch them some dinner. She napped off and on simply because there was nothing else to do. It wasn't like she could get up and meander outside on her own. Relieving herself was extremely difficult and embarrassing and was something that she'd rather not have to do. She aimed to get strong enough to walk very quickly. No one wanted someone else to choose where they were going to pee.

Asla dozed, one paw draped over her eyes to keep out the light of day. She wasn't in so deep a sleep that she couldn't hear approaching paws. Unshielding her eyes, the cream colored girl looked towards the entrance, her gaze narrowed to keep out the bright lights. It was Naiche, surprisingly. She hadn't expected him to come visit her. His very first words were an apology. What was he apologizing for? He'd done nothing wrong. He wasn't the one to make the boar charge them nor was he the one that made the decision for her to jump on its face. His apology was silly and unnecessary.

Next he asked if she could come in. She could see the defeat in his form and that made her think that he was going to pity her. She didn't want pity. Rather than apologize, he could have thanked her. That would have been better. With a sigh, Asla rested her head back on the ground. "Sure."
