She blinked her eyes when Francis smile at her weakly, saying he wanted to see her again. "Are you insane?" Elin asked. "You shouldn't be here. It's dangerous. You could have been killed." She glared at him a little before looking away, a bit irritated that this was potentially just an act to make her come to the hospital. It was a bunch of nonsense, really.<br/><br/>Her irritation was even further fuelled by his insensitive, ridiculous joke. "In heat?" Elin repeated in awe. "What do you think I am? I've lived in this place for the vast majority of my life. There's no such thing as "in heat" to me. I'm a human, not some goddamn animal. And how dare you keep me in the forest when it's mating season? You think I want to "mate"? You think I want to be with someone who's not a human being? Sheesh, you must be out of your mind." She sighed deeply, annoyed.<br/><br/>Elin arched a brow. "Really? Do you really think that everything I just said doesn't explain why I left you?" She looked almost amused. "You really must have spent your entire life in that cabin not to know anything about life in this village. I've lived here for an eternity, this is my home. Not the forest that is guided by the rules of nature. Humans don't abide by those rules."
