***Only a tiny bit written, but here is proof that I am working on something!! More to come when I have time to think***

*Early Morning*

Aurou startled awake. Where am I? She blinked away the sleep from her eyes, looking around the darkness. She could hear soft and steady breathing next to her. That's right.. Aurou slipped beneath the weight of Nodem's arm that was draped over her.

She sat up to stare at the sleeping man next to her. What am I doing? She lightly stroked his hair with the back

of her hand, making sure not to wake him. I can't just stay here like this…

Aurou crawled out of bed and gathered her clothes, quickly and silently pulling them on, before grabbing her staff that had been propped up against a wall. Her feet made little sound as she walked towards the door.

She paused, her gaze falling back to the Elvaan. Please forgive me for leaving so suddenly… She thought to him,
her pale eyes reflecting a sadness in the dark.
