Her breathing had returned to normal by the time Rhyldrin came to her. She closed her eyes and slowly opened them when he lit a candle. The sudden light blinded her for a few moments. Her wounds throbbed a bit and she was tempted to massage them, but hesitated. She decided not to thinking that it may irritate them.

"I'm sorry, I didn't mean to wake you." was all she could manage to say at the moment. She still felt asleep and was very groggy. Judith brought a hand to her eyes and rubbed them attempting to become more awake. "I had a bad dream, that's all." she decided not to tell Rhyldrin what she had dreamt of. Not now anyways, maybe she would in the future. I suppose I could eat, she thought. Her throat was sore and she could not bring herself to speak.

She brought the blankets over her body more when she heard an unfamiliar voice. Judith's eyes followed Rhyldrin as he went to the door, when the man and him began to speak she listened very closely. I'm only half dead because of your kind, she thought sourly. She felt bad for thinking ill of Dark Elves, but it wasn't that wrong not like the ones who treated her poorly. She still knew that not all of them were like that. She narrowed her eyes and stared at the man when he spoke about taking her after Rhyldrin was done with her. It disgusted her, she wasn't an object. She fought the urge to speak up knowing that it would only cause trouble for herself and Rhyldrin. When he left she felt much better.

She watched him place his pet on the ground and as it climbed up the post her eyes followed it. Judith stared back at the little dragon curiously, when Rhyldrin told the little dragon to behave she couldn't help but laugh quietly to herself. Judith lifted her hand, she didn't have much strength but she wanted the little dragon to come to her. "Come here," she said in a soft, kind voice. "I won't hurt you, what's your name?" she purred. Her eyes examined the little dragon curiously, he was very small and in a way cute, but he probably could do quite some harm to her.

Judith's eyes looked up at Rhyldrin when he brought her food. She smiled at his comment. "I trust you," she said and took the bowl from the table. "You don't need to say such things." Judith chewed the fruit slowly, her jaw still hurt from her time spent in the cell.
