*Björn stayed sound asleep the rest of the night, his face was warm and flushed. He kept a steady hold on Ves for most of the night. However, he turned away one time for 5 minutes or so. He eventually turned back around and pulled her in closer. However, just before sunrise, Björn woke up hearing something in the room with him.*

*He looked around dazed before he spotted __her__ in the corner. Her dress was black and bloodied, torn in multiple places. Her skin was rotting and her hair, once beautiful and brown was in lumps and clumps on her head. Maggots crawled under her skin and the smell was repugnant. Björn immediately threw his head under the covers and began to pray silently... He heard her moving closer, her feet making wet slaps on the floor. He heard her wheezing breath... Getting close to the bed.*

*Björn peered up, ready to grab his axe... And she was gone. Her ominous glow and veiled face was nowhere to be seen... Björn didn't sleep after that. He went out of bed and exercised in silence until Ves would awake.*

The night passed uneventfully for Ves. She did not dream, but she did wake frequently to wonder about Björn's drunken words. It was a peaceful night otherwise. The bed was soft and comfortable and unlike anything Ves had slept on before. The pillows were like clouds beneath her head and the blankets were warm and cozy. She decided that she rather liked beds. 

She awoke a few hours before dawn and rolled over, reaching for Björn. Finding the bed empty, she slowly opened her eyes, spotting him working out across the room. The Kobold simply studied him for a few minutes, admiring him. Then she sat up with a yawn and smiled. "Good morning, Björn."

Despite the night spent drinking, Ves' head was surprisingly clear. No hangover haunted her. It was probably due to all the water she had drank. She wondered if Björn was feeling alright. He drank way more than she had. "How are you feeling?" She asked him as she scooted out of bed and placed her bare feet on the floor.

*He looked to her as she sat up, pausing his workout. After half a minute of recognising her, he gave a small nod as he lifted into a handstand and sat cross legged.* "Good morning Ves. How did you sleep?"

*He offered a small smile and tried to seem fine. In truth, he had been exercising to distract from the pain and fear. He prayed he didn't have another night like that. He grasped at his chest for his amulet, remembering Ves had it for now.*

"I am fine. I have had time to wake up. It is you who caused a fun scene last night after all. You crawled across the table to grab me and sit on my lap. The Master of the House wasn't pleased. Kip was a bit creepy about it."

Her scales flashed red as Björn recounted the night before. "I... I *What?*" She gaped at him. She searched her memories for what had happened and found that yes, she had indeed crawled over the table and climbed onto Björn's lap. She couldn't remember anyone else's reaction though. She had been far too focused on him and him alone.

She saw as he reached for his amulet and mirrored his movements instinctively. The amulet was cool against her throat and she felt guilty for wearing it. It belonged to him. He shouldn't have given it to her. Her ears drooped slightly at her intrusive thoughts.

It reminded her of his words before he fell asleep. Should she ask about it? He probably wouldn't remember. He had been drunk on that burning liquor Kip had offered. Was that why he had said anything at all? Because he was drunk?

Ves shook her head to clear her mind and looked around for her clothes. She began getting dressed, her tail flicking back and forth. "How do you mean Kip was being creepy? Should we still be working with him?" Ves wasn't sure what she thought of Kip. He seemed friendly enough, but there was something *Off* About him.
