I don't always forage in the same place though
You have to give the plants
Time to reg grow
Oh, how long have I been here? Well, oh, let me see
About seven years, I think, eight, perhaps, I'm not really sure
I I just know I've been here since I was twelve
Because it was shortly after my birthday
Oh it well, That was the same day
My parents
Drove me out
You probably didn't notice
I mean, why would you
I have a birth mark on my back
Here let me move my hair out of the way so you can see
Yes
Blood red in the shape of an eye I was born with it
My parents thought I was cursed at birth you
Well, you all people know how super others can be? No
They they largely just tolerated me
My older brother loved me now, He's the one who taught me to survive out here
I owe him everything
Oh, wow
He's gone
My parents never cared about my birthday
My brother always celebrated it with me though
That day, he wanted to celebrate by taking new fishing
It was a bright sunny day when we left and
Well, that didn't last very long
By the time I got my fourth fish Strong linden had blown storm clouds in from the south, and the rain started
We we were just getting ready to head back when the ribbon he'd given they blew into the water and he he jumped in after it like a fool trying to save it for me before it got lost downstream
The lightning nearly blinded me when it struck
I remember calling his name
Desperately crying out to him as I fl around in the water trying to find him
But by the time my side came back to me
He was already gone, washed downstream
I followed the river looking for him in the rain for hours, that he was just vanished
Of course, my parents blamed me and my father would have killed me on the spot, if my mother hadn't stopped him
And well, she only did so because she thought the purse would go to them if I didn't carry it
So they drove me out
If it hadn't been for my brother's teachings, i wouldn't have served a hive long enough to find my way here
The winter would have claimed me regardless if I hadn't found that cabin
Whoever built it originally just wasn't there anymore and from the dust, they hadn't been there for a long time
So Well, I took it his sign and moved in
No, no one I
I haven't spoken to another
Well, it's it's just been me until now
It doesn't really matter
I suppose it's it's just my fate
It's just the way things are
Alright
That should be enough for a few days
Here get on, we can head back
Yes
On
You can climb on my back
We'll We'll get that faster if I don't have to slow down for you
I know what I said yesterday, but you've already been on my back once I'd like to return before dark
So get on, I'll even let you sit up right this time
There you go
Hold on
I'm going to go at a full trap
You still need a bath before we go home
No
No
I'm not tired
Why do you ask? Oh, because I slowed down
Well, no
I I just didn't want the right to be too rough on you
I'm fine, and i didn't want it to be yours so soon
Oh, nothing just thinking, you know, you can hold on tit if you want
I'm quite durable
I won't bruise
Well, suits yourself? We're nearly there regardless
See the plumes of steam
Not right
It's a hot
I think that's why the former owner of the cabin built it here
My brother wants told me some hot springs have healing properties
Does this one? Well, I don't know
I'm not sure
I just know I always feel better after I soak my hoo Here
Here we are
You can get down and i'm dressed
What do you mean? You don't plan on bathing fully cloth
Do you? Un dressed
Here I'll wash your clothes for you to see of time
We wanna get back before it gets too cold
Well, I don't have any more clothes
So unless you want to run around naked, those will have to be long washed
Otherwise why bother baby? No, fine then
Humans and their modest day
I'll turn around Just leave your clothes on the edge
Let me know when you're in
I wonder
