"That's something, at least." She murmured with a quiet chuckle. The gentle touch to her knee, however, was the only indication she needed to allow herself to get more comfortable. Turning around, she laid down on the ground next to Nasir and then placed her head in his lap. Her face was...

"I can see why you like them, then." The woman murmured with a slight smile, enjoying the simple moment of listening to him speak. Eventually, however, she lifted her head from Nasir's shoulder and gave the man his space. While she wanted to maintain the physical connection, she doubted that...

"I've never encountered any dwarves. What are they like?" She asked, genuinely curious. Dwarves did not swell on Minaris, and she'd never ventured close enough to the Spine to meet them before. This was a new opportunity for her, she realized. With Nasir, she would come to see more of the...

Without even thinking about what she was doing, Keyleth leaned over and placed her head on Nasir's shoulder. She closed her eyes, enjoying the warmth of the fire that the drow had put together. "Perhaps. But enough of the humans. If all goes well, you won't have to see them again."

Keyleth nodded slightly while he spoke, listening intently to what he had to say. It seemed she was genuinely curious about the drow and wasn't just rushing to talk about herself as most would have done. "Humans are ... Fickle, impulsive, and so very shortsighted. But... They are not all so...

"Misery loves company, as they say." She murmured, taking a other bite of the roasted meat. She considered her next words for a few moments, watching the fire crackle before them. "Is that why you kept me alive? Companionship?"

"Food sounds... good." She murmured, realizing that she hadn't eaten in nearly a day. Her stomach tightened in indignation at having been forgotten for so long. She would need the nutrients to heal. How could she have remembered to feed the animals, but not herself? It was foolishness...

She took a quick breath as the pain flared through her leg, but it was not nearly as agonizing as she'd anticipated. Nasir was surprisingly gentle with her, tending the to injury without aggravating it. Before she even realized what she was doing, Keyleth leaned forward and placed a delicate...

Her lips tightened to a thin line as Nasir pulled the wrapping from her leg. He was gentle enough that it was only mildly uncomfortable for him remove it. The knee was swollen and already swathed in dark bruises, in the shape of a boot. She chewed the inner corner of her mouth as she watched...

Keyleth glanced around the campsite briefly, and quickly realized that she'd been asleep for quite some time. She felt refreshed, but still rather groggy. Nasir spoke softly to her, as though he was still trying not to disturb her. "Oh..." She murmured, rubbing the sleep from her eyes with...

The elf met his piercing gaze and gave a quiet nod in response. Setting up the tent was a simple enough task and she could manage it on her own without too much strain on her knee. While Nasir was gone in search of firewood and some herbs, Keyleth set about readying the campsite. It was a slow...

Keyleth had held no expectation of Nasir's help, but he provided it nevertheless. Their dynamic had shifted in some inexplicable way and the elven warrior was unsure what to make of the development. The man who'd taken her as a captive, held her as a slave in all but name, was now giving her...

Keyleth was surprised to hear the man actually laugh. She hadn't thought him capable of mirth. The sound of his chuckle was unexpectedly pleasant, bringing a slight smile to her face. Why did it feel rewarding to make her captor laugh? She crinkled her nose at the realization and shook her...

Keyleth's wrinkled her nose at the thought of riding massive spiders. As powerful of a fighter as she was, that didn't preclude her from despising the loathsome creatures. There was just something about the way spiders moved that made her skin crawl. Or perhaps it was the fact that their spindly...

Keyleth jumped slightly when the warm hand gently curled around her own. She stifled a quiet yelp of surprise, not having expected the drow to return so quickly. Her gaze glanced down to the hand over her own, but she didn't pull away from Nasir. His touch was soothing, like a balm over an...
