Mercy shot straight up in her bed, her breathing was jagged and a bit fast as her forehead dripped with sweat. Her eyes scanned around her small room, noticing that her husky-wolf mix had picked up his head and tilted it in curiosity at his owners sudden actions. He whimpered softly and crawled in her lap. Though the dog was as big as a wolf, he acted like a puppy and thought himself smaller than he actually was. Mercy giggled and scratched his ears, a smile on her face as she loved how her dog cared for her. "I'm alright Echo." Echo licked her face before standing on the bed, shaking his fur and then hopping down, happily trotting into the kitchen for breakfast, his tongue lolling out the side of his mouth.<br/><br/>After making breakfast - and giving most of it to Echo - Mercy got dressed in her shorts and usual polo and apron for work. She tied her long, black and blue hair into a messy bun and nodded to Echo. He followed her down the spiral stairs and sat in his usual spot behind the counter as she started to open up her shop. She co-owned Lisa's Café since she moved there, the shop owner, Lisa is the only one who truly knows who she really is and what she is capable of. The older lady was kind enough to take the starving, younger woman in and put her in the apartment above the shop. As years passed, Mercy earned the trust of Madame Lisa, seeing her as a mother she had never had. Madame Lisa of course, loved Mercy like a daughter and cared for her more than anything. She would often say how proud she was of her "daughter" for coming so far from where she was when she first arrived to Everspring, and that the young woman gave her long life meaning.<br/><br/>Echo trotted next to Mercy as she flipped the sign on the door from closed to open and set back behind the counter, ready for the day.
