As soon as you're ready, I can take you up to see it.

Okay.

Maybe in a few days.

Nod.

I have some things that help with pain and stress, if you want them. I'm not sure if they're safe for your species, though, they are for mine and aren't for tigerfolk.

No thank you. I don't like being drugged.

Okay. She hugs her knees to her chest again.

Sorry if this is awkward. I feel like I shouldn't be leaving you alone, but I don't want to ask you to talk about anything you don't want to and I'm kind of out of practice at being around people.

I'm happy to talk about anything the Enemy already knows. 

I have no idea what that means.

I think you work for the Enemy. It's likelier than that teleportation magic exists and you've rescued me. So I won't tell you anything that the Enemy doesn't already know, but I'll happily tell you other things.

...all right. I still don't know enough about anything to guess what that means in practice, though.

Fine. I'm also happy not talking.

Okay. She looks slightly more miserable.

He picks up on that, but very distantly, and the Enemy knows what he's like and can use it against him and -

sigh.

Tell me more about sunrises.

They're never quite the same, but it's... she pulls up a memory, and sends it without realizing as she describes each stage. The very first bit is that the sky brightens, goes from black to grey to blue...

He sighs contentedly.

Oh good. Oh good she needed that and it's not even slightly okay to demand it of him but she needed to know it could happen, she feels so much better now.

I'll definitely have to bring you up to see one, sometime.

It's beautiful.

...your magic gets more than just words, huh. It might be a good idea to explain more of that to me, it wouldn't be good for you to get my magic by accident. But...

Here's more sunrises, and sunsets, and beautiful vistas and interesting flowers and songs at night around a campfire. She can keep going for quite a while; it seems to be doing her good, too, to remember it.

After a while his breathing gets steadier and he falls asleep.

She sits by him for a little while after that, much calmer than she has been, and eventually she has something to eat and goes to bed.

The person is still around when he wakes up. Having a person around stresses him but not being around him stresses her, and not being useful to him stresses her, so he shouldn't say anything. 

He tests whether he's healed enough skin to move. Nope. 

He should eat something, it'd help him heal, but he doesn't want to.

She sleeps in, some, but she's still awake not very long after he is. Good morning, she sends, as she fixes the fire. I'm probably going to spend most of the day out - do you have any preference for what kind of fur your blanket is made from, I assume you're going to need one, I can't keep the fire going like this all winter - but I'll check back in every couple hours, is there anything you want before I go?

No, thank you. 

Okay.

She finishes off the soup and cleans the bowl, goes to check on the supplies she's keeping in another chamber of the cave, then comes back in and checks on the water basin. I need to refill this soon, but it might startle you when I do - I'm not sure how noisy it is when I teleport the water in. Should I wait?

Should I expect a loud noise?

Maybe. There's never been someone on this side to hear it before, so I'm not sure. We should be okay for a couple days if you need that to get to a point where flinching isn't painful or something, though.
