A few hours have passed when a pair of seafoam green eyes snapped open. The worried woman looked around, and realized she wasn't on the beach anymore and she began to slowly panic again but remembered her seal pelt that man was holding, causing her panic to worsen.

her mother always told her to watch her skin and how human males are the worst creatures to trust and here she is in the home of the worlds worst monster. she began crying, face in hands sobbing, wondering if she’ll ever see her pelt or her family again but she sees it, her pelt at her feet, on the ground. 

she quickly scopes it up in her arms, happy to have it back. she was rubbing her face in it, so happy to have it back when a familiar human male walked in.

“you're awake,” he mumbled while ruffling his hair, “you had quite the fall back there so I brought you to my humble abode so you can rest.”

he walks past her and into the kitchen before coming out with two mugs of tea, “didn't know if you were sick so i made you some tea, you were mighty sweaty earlier.”

He placed one mug on the coffee table and sat next to the now panicked looking woman. He took a sip of his own mug before letting out a relaxed sigh. the two sat in thick silence before a small trembling, muffled voice cut through it,

“w-what are you gonna do to me?”

Aengus turns his head ro look at the frightened woman, “Um nothing, Miss. I'm gonna let you rest and get your strength back. i would be a complete eejit if i just sent you on your way on the next ferry with the condition you where in.''

he sees her hiding her face in the pelt, “i wouldn't put your face in that, Lass. That manky thing would get you sick.” 

She shook her head no so he left it at that. He’ll just offer to clean it later when she was less closed off.
