As time pass, you gradually regain consciousness, you really don't want to wake up, you feel so comfortable in your bed.
You move your arm, looking for the blubberbeast plush you sleep with every night, you touch the ground but don't find it either, you don't have another choice, you have to open your eyes.

But you don't now where you are.

This is not your room, not your bed, clearly not your house.

Everything looks really expensive, it is beautiful, yes, still, where are you ?
You don't drink too much alcohol, and your head doesn't hurt, so you didn't had a party last night, and... you don't dare to think about one-night stand, it's clearly NOT your thing.
Your throat is burning a little, did you finally catch a cold after spending your time under the rain AGAIN ?

You look around and see a paper on the nightstand, you take it and notice that the writing is beautiful.

"Good morning Aniès,

I now you must be confused about everything, I'm sorry I can't be here when you wake up, I need to work even after what happened.
But don't worry, a maid will take care of you today, if you agree to stay in my apartments of course.

In any cases, I would like to talk to you about these last days, I'm sorry I will have to bother you with questions, I promise I will try to be quick, and not sound too professional.

Please, take care of yourself, act like you were at your home, no one will come here except me this evening.

In case you choose to go home, come to my office tomorrow so we can talk.

With kind regards,

Neuvillette."

So... You are at Neuvillette's apartments... is it his bed ?!
You jump out of it, blushing really hard with that thought, you get your foot stuck in the cover, making you fall on the ground.

"Aouch !"

You massage your arm a little, feeling it getting wet.
Wait, wet ?
You look at it, you are bleeding.

That's when you remember, an otter and you were attacked by meks and you got shot before being saved by blubberbeasts and otters, then the meks shot at the cave you were hiding in as a last attack, making it collapse and trap you inside.

But, how did you get out of there ?
What really happened ?

You can't thing anymore, someone is knocking at the door.

"My lady, are you awake ? I heard a loud noise. Did you fell ?"

You get up, keeping your hand on your arm.

"H-hello.. Yes I fell... sorry..."

"May I come in ?"

"Hum... yes please..."

The maid enter and see your blood dripping out of your hand.

"Oh my, your injuries opened again, please follow me, I will take care of it."

You follow her out of the bedroom, looking around a little to enjoy the decor, she guides you to the bathroom and gesture you to sit down on a chair, the maid started to check your arm before patching it up.

"Excuse me... what time is it ?"

"It's already 1.PM, you were very tired, it's not a surprise after something like this."

"It's so late... what happened ?"

She just finished to patch your arm, she look at you with wide eyes.
