The Next morning Nisha had all the intentions of getting up early to fix him breakfast as usual. but after hearing all of that last night. she couldn't bring herself to do so. just Wanting to stay with him longer. to comfort him and let him know he's safe and he isn't alone anymore..
Avatar
Big spooning him at the moment. The amount of pain she heard and sensed from him throughout the night caused tears to roll down her cheeks with Empathy. She does not know the extent of what he had gone through. but she was determined to make him less miserable any way she could. (edited)

unable to tell if he's awake or still dreaming, is still tossing, only ocassionally calming down when he feels her touch, but even then, the effect is only temporary
Avatar
Gale..? It's time to wake up... it's okay.. you're safe here. remember?
Avatar
Nnn........Nisha?....
Avatar
She managed a small smile and pet his head a little Yes.. it's me.. i'm here... you are in my room..
Avatar
I'm in your room? Is..... is everything okay?
Avatar
Yes. i said you could sleep in here with me last night.. you've.. been having terrible nightmares all night... are you alright?...
Avatar
being blind has it's advantages, excellent poker face I'm alright...... Is that coffee I smell?
Avatar
She chuckled I just started a brew a few minutes ago... but when i heard you still wailing in your sleep. i needed to hurry back to comfort and wake you.. you had me very worried.
Avatar
I......m... Sorry.......... about that.... You... shouldn't.. have to see me like that.... I.... Didn't want you.... to see me like that.
Avatar
It's okay.. really. Now. let's get you up. get some coffee. and make you something to eat. shall we?
Avatar
That sounds nice..... tha......thank you Nisha...
Avatar
She sits up and climbs out of bed. I will help you navigate around. i know this is a very new location for you. but i'm sure you will learn the layout in no time.
Avatar
O...okay.. reaches his arm out, so she can get under his shoulder
Avatar
She goes over and does so. helping him up out of the bed. and Slowly but surely leading him to the kitchen is there anything special you would like for breakfast?
Avatar
Whatever you make is fine... I'd help but... I might end up cooking a rock in a pan thinking i'm toasting a bagel so... Not the best idea.
Avatar
She couldn't help but laugh That is okay. i'm sure i will come up with something you can help me with sometime. She said. leading him to the dining table and pulling out a seat for him to sit in. placing his hand on the back so he can feel where it is. let me get your coffee. She said. Going to start making him a cup
Avatar
Okay... takes his seat, head in his hands as thoughts begin to flood his mind. Desperately wanting to see her face. But dare not use his magic, and certainly doesn't want to heal his eyes, what if he goes back to "the monster" No.... NO!!! He lifts his head, hands trembling..
Avatar
Bringing him back his coffee and noticing his trembling hands. but instead of saying something right away. she places a hand on his shoulder gently. and then takes one of his hands in hers and puts the warmth of the Cup against it. handle at his fingertips You are trembling... is everything alright?...
Avatar
once again, calming to her touch Yeah...... yeah... everything is fine... Just... nerve damage I imagine....
Avatar
It would seem so. just relax and enjoy your coffee. if you need anything else. do let me know. She said. going back to the kitchen to begin cooking
Avatar
that phrase, the way she said those words... a flashback takes him to another point in his life, and without realizing he's doing so. simply utters Thank you Chelsea..
Avatar
Stops what she's doing and turns to look at him Chelsea? Who is Chelsea?
Avatar
snapping back to it Hmm? Oh... uhh... someone I used to know..... But it was a long time ago.
Avatar
I see.. Someone you cared about? Who was special to you? she asked as a pleasant aroma began to fill the room
Avatar
Yeah.... yeah she was...
Avatar
Hm.. She finished their breakfast and came over to sit at the table beside him. sliding his plate over to him. tapping his cheek as she brings a bite of his food. which is a Bowl of Quinoa with eggs and Roasted ham slices. to his mouth
Avatar
opens his mouth to take the bite.
Avatar
Do you like it?
Avatar
opens his mouth and points, smiling just a bit playfully
Avatar
She giggles I'll take that as a yes She feeds him another bite
Avatar
takes it gladly
Avatar
Feeds him a few more bites and then hands him the fork Would you like to try to do it yourself?
Avatar
takes the fork in one hand, and runs his finger along the edge of the plate, to guage it's size, then starts feeling around for the location of the food, figuing out how best to scoop it onto the fork
Avatar
just in case. she also brought him a spoon. which she placed next to his other hand if needed
Avatar
finds it, and uses the spoon as a wall to push the food onto the fork, and takes a bite
Avatar
She smiles There you go! Good job.
18:27
Eating her food and watching him carefully with pride
Avatar
after a while, has finished eating and is now just sitting there sipping his coffee
Avatar
You are getting much better at feeding yourself. i'm very proud of you.. She was drinking tea herself instead. and looking out the window of the dining room Oh how i wish you could see how beautiful it is outside....
Avatar
Maybe..... maybe you could describe it for me...
Avatar
Turning back to him Oh? I mean.. if you would like me to.. of course i will..
Avatar
sits up, and listens I could see through your eyes...
Avatar
Well i... i can't even begin to describe it...
Avatar
Oh...... alright then... That's okay...
Avatar
i will try my best... She said. looking out the window once again
18:34
The world around you is a tapestry of vibrant colors. Flowers of every imaginable hue bloom in profusion, their petals glistening with morning dew. Trees of all shapes and sizes stand tall and proud, their leaves shimmering in the sunlight. The scenery is simply breathtaking. Rolling hills stretch out as far as the eye can see, dotted with wildflowers and babbling brooks. A crystal-clear lake reflects the sky like a mirror, its surface undisturbed by a single ripple.
Avatar
It sounds nice there... Maybe you can take me outside later.
Avatar
*She gets up to take their empty dishes to the sink* I'd love to.. Would you like more coffee before i run your bath? i think a nice warm bath will be good for you.
Avatar
I'm good.. *standing up and holding his arm out to be led to the bath*
Avatar
*She nods and helps him up. Leading him to the bathroom and going to heat up some water to pour into the tub. coming back in no time to do so and help him inside*
Avatar
Thank you... i'll let you know if I need anything.
Avatar
Alright... enjoy, Gale. *She said. standing. leaving the door cracked a little as she walked out. deciding to tend to her garden for awhile*
18:46
*She won't be long. just needs to check on them. but even so the window to the bathroom is near and she'd be able to hear if he calls her.*
Avatar
Narrator BOT 12/19/2024 19:45
Gale soaked in the bath for awhile. Though she periodically came to check and make sure his water didn't need changing and changing it if it did. And once his bath was finished she took him to the couch to lay down and relax while she sat in a chair close by to read, finding one of her favorite books and Deciding to read it to him. (edited)
Avatar
*Soon finished reading the book to him and was now sitting on the couch next to him* I do hope you enjoyed it.. it's one of my favorite books...
Avatar
it was nice. Thank you for sharing it with me.
Avatar
It was my pleasure. truly... *She looks out the window* It is still light out.. would you like to go outside still?
Avatar
I think I might...
Avatar
*She smiled* Okay. Then come on. *She took his arm to help him up. and carefully guided him to her front door. opening it. and walking him down the stone pathway. before coming to a stop at the end of where it goes up to her cottage. meeting the road to ravenhold. looking at him*
Avatar
*enjoying the sun on his skin, but doesn't realize where he is*
Avatar
How does it feel?
Avatar
It feels nice... i'm especially enjoying the breeze.
Avatar
It is rather Soothing... isn't it?.. Come.. *She takes him and leads him to the nearby lake and guides him to sit down with her at the water's edge. helping him take off his shoes and just letting the water Move steadily over their bare feet.* (edited)
Avatar
It's cold....
Avatar
*She giggled a little* it is... but it still feels nice...
Avatar
It does actually....
Avatar
So... I have to ask.. do you have a favorite flower?... one that has a specific smell that you could easily recognize. something from a special time in your life perhaps.
Avatar
I... actually quite like the smell of lilac... and Lavender.
Avatar
Two very disticnt and beautiful flowers... Hm... One moment.. *She said. before standing and walking off into the trees nearby for a minute or two*
Avatar
..............
Avatar
*She soon returned and sat beside him once again. reaching out to take his hand gently guiding it to wrap around the stems of a bouquet of freshly picked Lavender and Lilac flowers. as there is still a fair amount around this time of year*
Avatar
*suprisingly, even to himself, he could smell them before he even held them* Where did you find these? *bringing them to his nose and smelling them*
Avatar
Despite the seasons getting colder. i know a few places they still manage to live and hide from the cold. at least for a little while.. it isn't very easy. but i'd say it's worth it....
Avatar
I... appreciate this... thank you.
Avatar
Of.. Of course.. i'd do anything for you. Gale.. You do know that, don't you? *She said. rubbing his back a little bit*
Avatar
I still don't understand why though.
Avatar
Because sometimes.. in this world so full of those who would rather go against eachother.. it is but a small, yet Important thing. to Show a little Kindness and compassion to others.. Whether they be someone close to you. or total strangers... Even the smallest act of kindness can go a long way. don't you think?
Avatar
I guess. BUt surely not everyone deserves it...
Avatar
Perhaps not... but.. i believe you do...
Avatar
But you don't know anything about me? I've...... hurt people.
Avatar
You could always tell me... you are not the only one who has hurt people before.. people they loved.. cared about.. or who cared about them.. and you certainly will not be the last... *She moves her hand to hold his gently.*
Avatar
I want to.. it's just.... I don't want to be that person any more... and.... you wouldn't like me if you knew...
Avatar
Well... i'd say you're on the right path to being a better person already.. please.. Tell me? I ish to understand... i promise i will not forsake you... you have my word..
Avatar
You promise?
Avatar
I cross my heart and hope to die. *She said. caressing his hand with her thumb and turning to face him directly now.*
Avatar
Gale឵ BOT 12/20/2024 04:43
Well... it all started......*proceeds to start explaining his entire history, from Baldur's Gate, to Waterdeep, to the adventurers hall, to Chelsea, then Lily, then ...... him and lily... then the darker saga, that led with his Imprisonment and torture, to his return and his current injuries*
Avatar
*She listened intently through the first half. then a look of shock and bewilderment when she found out about he and Lily. then covered her mouth with her other hand as he got more into the darker areas leading up to this. and just stayed quiet all throughout.. never once letting go of his hand. interrupting to say something to him. be it positive or negative. just listening. trying to process..*
Avatar
*knows she's there, she's still touching his hand, but his heart is racing waiting for her response or reaction*
Avatar
You... You are right... You've done.. truly terrible things... and some.. strange things that.. aren't.. quite common but... goodness....
Avatar
*takes his hands away* I told you not everyone deserved redemption.....
Avatar
*She Quickly pulls his hand back* N-no it is okay.. really... i am not going anywhere.. i'm just processing... But let me ask you something... may i?
Avatar
yes?
Avatar
You feel remorse.. regret.. and sorrow for your actions... correct?...
Avatar
Of course I do... *yanks his hands away again, walking around, not really knowing what direction* But the things i've done. I can never undo them, I can never make up for them, and worst of all. What if I go back to them. What if I can see, and fall into temptation. What if I use magic and drown in it's power..... It's best to just leave me a frail helpless old man, and forget about me. Than for me to risk going back... to any of it..... And my own family? They abandoned me, and for good reason. I can never face them now. Nor do I deserve to....
Avatar
*She gets up and walked over. grabbing his arm. and pulling him into a tender embrace. hugging him gently* Those feelings.. those fears... you are on the right track to becoming a new.. better you... and if... if you would allow me to.. Gale... I'd like to be here.. to stay.. and help you stay on that track...
Avatar
I won't deny I enjoy your company.... And if you choose to stay, I can't stop you. I just don't want you getting your hopes up for a redemption, that may never happen.
Avatar
What kind of Companion would i be if i did not stay beside you in your darkest moments? I expect nothing.. i can only hope. for your sake. *She Slowly pulled away from the hug a little* Are you ready to go back inside? it is getting dark now..
Avatar
Really?...... I hadn't noticed....
Avatar
*She blushes and chuckles a little* My apologies....
Avatar
It's alright. Honesly, I didn't see it coming either.
Avatar
*That got a genuine laugh out of her. but she quickly composed herself.. to the best of her ability. and took his arm in hers as she leads him back inside* You can be funny when you want to be...
Avatar
Perhaps it's just cause you bring out the best in me....
Avatar
*She blushed again and couldn't help but smile as they enter her cottage* Is that so?... well.. i suppose i am doing something right then..
Avatar
Debatable.... But i'm happy you're still willing to try.
Avatar
Of course.. what are friends for...? *She said. Leading him back to the bedroom and guiding him to sit on the bed* Would you like a cup of water?.. (edited)
Avatar
Tea maybe?
05:35
You can put some of this lavender in it.. *still holding one of the flowers, he put in his pocket beofore the rest got dropped*
Avatar
*She smiled* That's a wonderful idea... go on.. make yourself comfortable.. i will return momentarily. *She said. taking the flower and heading to the kitchen to make his tea*
Avatar
Narrator BOT 12/20/2024 05:49
After returning with his tea and him sharing a few sips with her. the two got comfortable and eventually fell asleep. snuggled up in her bed for the night.
