give me all your poison

The girl didn't argue in the slightest as she was forced from her den. Once she was out, he began his work. The space was very bare, so it was easy to fill it with the necessary items for existence. The giant beast had collected a mattress from one of the resorts many rooms. He placed it in the corner of the room between two of the wooden slatted windows and proceeded to cover it with all manner of furs and cushions. After that, he hauled in a large basin where Bella could keep water on hand at all times. Besides that, he placed a big woven basket full of dried meats, various dried fruits and other bits that he thought she might appreciate.

The whole ordeal took him no time at all, so when he stepped out of the den and the woman was nowhere around, he went searching for her. Chi found her face down in a patch of mushroom, devouring the fungi as though she would die without them. A result of the illness, no doubt... "Once you're done..." he left it open ended before turning and moving back towards her cabana. She could take whatever time she wanted. The beast simply took up space on the wooden front porch while he waited.
