Camilla took he bundal of herbs out of her bag, and showed them to the red headed boy

“1 silver,”

Her heart leaped when she saw the small market. She hurried over to a stand selling fruit and payed for 1 apple-like fruit.

(@DuskToDawnz sure!)
Lycan padded up beside Teo and sniffed the unfamiliar girl suspiciously. She didn't seem to be dangerous, but he looked up at Teo as though asking for further instruction. He emitted an aura of warmth as he stood there, taking the edge off of the bitter cold for all those within a few feet of him.

"have three" he passed her 3 silvers "i cant find those herbs anywhere"

Beatriz felt suddenly warm. She turned around and saw the dog. She reached out tentatively to pet it.

"D-do you have a shelter anywhere?" Bea's words came out harsh and hoarse. "I have money, but I'm very lost."

Lycan shied away from the girl's hand at first, but allowed her to pet him after a moment. His tail wagged softly and the heat intensified.

“Oh,…..thank you!” Camilla said, surprise in her eyes. That’s when she noticed the girl. She had striking black hair, and was eating an apple. Camilla’s eyes glanced over her pockets, looking for weapons. She didn’t seem like a threat. Camilla let the dog sniff her hand.

Camilla turned to the girl. “You can stay with me, if you like,” she said, tentatively.

"sure, you can stay at my home for a bit, but may i ask who you are?"

"Oh, I'm Beatriz… Jem. C-call me Bea. I was hunting for medicinal herbs, but I'm lost, as I've said."

“You’re in Crystalven. Near the northern boundary.” Camilla cut in.

"hm im an alchemist, so i have medicinal herbs that you can use"

Beatriz slumped. "I'm 10 miles from my group!" She moaned. Her leg started shaking. "I need to get inside now, if that's possible."

Who are these female humans? Lycan drew nearer to Teo. However, master will not want to become mates with them. He has never shown interest in females. He sniffed the air, gradually causing himself to emit more heat when he noticed how cold the humans were.

Camilla was anxious to be included. She too had been lost, after running from her aunt’s. But it was obvious they were striking up their own conversation, so Camilla bent down to pet the dog.

"sure my home is about a minute walk from here. are you injured?"

"I think I broke my ankle, but I haven't been able to check." Beatriz said, her voice becoming clearer.

Lycan licked Camilla's hand, sending warmth up her arm. His tongue was hot, but not painfully so.

"i can carry you, hey Lycan can you grab my bag?" he asked

Camilla scratched the huge dog behind his ears, content. The heat radiating from the dog became more apparent by the second, and she began to worry. “Excuse me, you’re dog is very warm. Is he alright??” Camilla asked, worried.

The hellhound gave a low yip and brought the bag up in his strong jaws, looking up at Teo.

"Lycan is fine" he said "and hes not anybodies dog"

"No, it's fine, actually. I've been walking for miles." Beatriz responded.

May I join?//

“Oh! I’m sorry! I just assumed…..” Camilla apologized, embarrassed.

"Thanks lycan, you remeber the way home?" he asked

Lycan nodded and set off in the opposite direction, careful to keep his pace slow enough for Teo to keep up while carrying the girl. It seemed that he could understand English, although he couldn't speak.

"good lycan" he picked up the wounded girl
