Vesirara grabbed her as she fell trying to keep the small scared child from hitting her head. "Hold on there Lethallan" she said holding the little girl on her hip. "I'm sorry Boss I didn't think I'd scare the little thing" looking a bit forlorn that he scared the little girl.
Starter for @offullmoonsandfantasies
Oaklynn could not be sure how long it had been since she and her brother had fled from the battlefield, leaving their mother to fight the Templars on her own. She didn’t know how long it had been since her brother - visibly injured in their escape - had placed her in the small, hidden alcove on one side of the cave they had chosen to hide in and sunk down to sit against the stone. She didn’t know how long it had been since his eyes had closed.
She wasn’t sure how long it had been since the rift had opened up in the middle of the cave creating a doorway for the monsters that now crept around the cave either.
Heart beating in her chest, Oaklynn peeked from her hiding place - not for the first time - to survey the creatures. Usually, she simply saw them and the rift. This time was different though. There was a figure in the entrance - that of a woman. Her heart lurched, hope of her mother’s return swelling in her chest, until she stepped into the light. White hair and pointed ears set this woman apart from any that Oaklynn had known before but still she hoped it meant help and so she watched with wide-eyes as the woman continued to approach the monsters.

Caring for Someone Sick and Reluctant Prompts
“You don’t owe me. I’m doing this because I care.”
“I know you think you can care for yourself, but I’m helping you anyways, so deal with it.”
“Stop grumbling and just tell me where your medicine cabinet is.”
“What kind of soup do you want me to get from the store? And don’t say ‘none’.”
“And I thought you were whiney when you weren’t sick!”
“Please just let me make you tea.”
“I don’t care if I get sick, just let me cuddle with you. It might make you feel better!”
“I told my friends I was busy taking care of my sick significant other today, so I will be doing just that!”
“I am not babying you, I’m showing you I care!”
“Oh stop your complaining and just get in the bath.”
“I thought I told you to stay in bed while I get you medicine!”
“Why are you so insistent on not listening to my orders?”
“You’re sick, so you have to listen to me today.”
“I know it’s hard for you to be the one getting bossed around today, but you have to deal with it.”
“If the reason you’re being difficult is because you feel bad then don’t - I’ll make you take care of me when I inevitably get sick from taking care of you.”
“You’re being extra difficult today.”
“Aren’t you like…tired? Stop putting up a fight!”
“You’ll either take this medicine or I’ll lock you in your room until you’re better.”

“No one deserves going through this alone.”
“When you’re ready. I can wait. Don’t force yourself.”
