"Beautiful Vena, wake up. I brought you something."

"Ugh, just let me rot in here in peace, Druig."

"You're gonna want to see this, beautiful Vena." I groaned opening my eyes and was met with Druig's blue ones.

"What could be so important that you had to wake me up at ungodly hours?" I yawned rubbing the sleep out of my eyes. "Is Ajak finally letting me off her leash?"

"Not yet. Makkari has a plan for that, but she'll tell you later." Druig smiled brushing the hair out of my face. "The humans made something for you. I thought it might cheer you up."

"What is it?" I smiled sitting up and outstretched my hands in a grabbing motion. "I wanna see."

Druig laughed sitting on the bed and handed me two small statues.

"It's how they see you, I think. Well... as Hathor, pretty much. The second one... I made it with them."

"You did!?" I smiled big jumping out of the bed and rummaged around trying to find space for the statues. "Why did you? I thought you chose to sit back and observe from a distance."

"You told me once that I had to see the world from their eyes, so I did. And you were right, Vena. They truly are fascinating creatures and everything you've done for them is truly phenomenal." He shrugged and I pulled him into a hug making him tense up but after a while, he hugged back.

"Thank you, Druig." I whispered pulling away just as Makkari sped into the room. "What'd you bring me now, sweet Makkari?"

"The opportunity to leave the Domo for a while. Thena offered to defend you and so did Kingo. Want to come?" She asked and I nodded jumping around excitedly. "Druig, want to join as well?"

"Of course, sweet Makkari."

...

~Druig's POV~

"You're staring again."

"I'm observing, Kingo."

"Right, just like Ikaris is observing Sersi dance with the villagers?" Kingo smirked and sat next to me making me scoot away slightly. "You gave her the statues?"
