WAKING UP HAD NEVER been so foreign to you as it was now. between the plush layers that resided beneath your weight and the harmonic sounds of little, flying creatures just past the wall you were behind, nothing had seemed to right and wrong at the same time.
you weren't alone in the room. there was a boy— no. a man. a strangely familiar one at that.
although his back was turned, you recognized him. or rather— his presence, though that'd be a unique way of thinking. something about it just seemed suspiciously comfortable in your head.
bi-colored hair that came with its own set of eyes, complimenting each others features on a single person and matching the colors perfectly. it was almost unfair to have such an asset.
fennec ears twitched under your watch, sensing the rustling occurring behind him. the noise signaled that you had awoken from the peaceful slumber you had been settled in up until day three, which was presently.
"c-cyno—"
"sent you?" the man interrupted, "i'm aware, don't worry about that, everything's settled."
you relaxed instantly with a deep sigh in relief.
"in more important matters, you're lucky i had an antidote for those berries you ingested, and it's a miracle i came across you like that," the fennec hybrid started, i'm not sure what would have killed you first— the blood loss or the poison."
wow, such comforting words for a comfortable soul. surely it wouldn't worry anyone in your position.
you sat upright and held your head in your hands, he continued after turning around to face you, "i healed your visible injuries to the best of my abilities, but i must advise that we do a thorough check-up for any more harm that may have been done, with your approval, of course."
the entirety of the scene hadn't registered in your fuzzy mind just yet, you could only blink and nod politely in response.
gentle hands lifted a cup of water from his side, stalking towards your figure to hand it to you carefully. you didn't hesitate for a moment before chugging it, your parched throat becoming satisfied with the cool liquid.
"i'll be back in a minute with food, you're far too malnourished."
he did exactly that, not even moments later he held a tray with a meal you figured you could only dream of had you still been in that orphanage.
choosing to savor the flavorsome repast, you chewed and digested it slowly. your stomach couldn't ask for more.
in your own time, you had finished, and you were more than content with the result of you suffering.
a girl who had introduced herself as collei later approached you, requesting your consent to follow up on the 'thorough check-up' you agreed to previously with her superior.
