<div style="text-align: justify;">Melinda smiled back when Dalindme - the name was actually quite pleasant and exotic - smiled at her. It felt good to know that she had pleased him, as the creature obviously wanted to please her in every little thing. When she was picked up, Melinda laid her head on Dalindme's chest, hearing the sound of his steps on the floor and looking at the dark path they were taking.<br/><br/>When they entered the chamber, Melinda blinked a few times. She sighed at being laid at the edge of the pool and watched as he offered her water. With a nod, Melinda sat up and held Dalindme's hands, drinking the cool water.<br/><br/>She drank twice more, before feeling her thirst satisfied. <br/><br/>With a big sigh, Melinda bowed her head. "Thank you". She looked up at the creature's face and sighed. "Do you understand what I say?" It was a valid question, at least for Melinda. If he couldn't speak her language, maybe he didn't really understand most of what she said.</div>
