She was awake, but her eyes were not open yet. The field smelt of grass, herbs, and flower buds. She decided to rest there for a second more, inhaling the earthly scent. She was clueless as to what her location was, but she guessed that she was either in someone's garden or out in the open, somewhere. She felt herself stiffen up when gentle footsteps seemed to arrive. She heard two very different and unfamiliar voices speak out. She left her eyes closed and tried to relax her body without setting the two off. She didn't know of their capability.
"What's a lass like her doing out here? Is she conscious?" This was a masculine voice, but one who had lost any trace of youth in it. It must be an elderly man.
"Well, what do you propose we do?" This one, however, was obviously feminine. It sounded girly and very youthful. A child... The man must be her grandfather.
"I've no idea, but it wouldn't be right to leave this woman here to fend for herself."
"But she might be dangerous. It might be a trap. She could spring us when we turn our backs and twist our necks without any struggle at all!"
"Then you can keep an eye on her. Whether she's a threat to us or not, this is the right thing to do."
She couldn't help but smile at the man's kindness and understand the point of the girl.
"Looks like she's having a nice dream." said the girl most likely after seeing the woman smile.
She felt herself being lifted off of the soft ground and gently dropped onto a hard surface. She knew she was moving She didn't know where they would take her, so she decided to wake up and try to prepare for anything they might do.
When she opened her eyes, the first thing that greeted her was the face of an unfamiliar girl. She was a young woman, not an adult, but not exactly a child. Her blonde hair was tied down into a long braid. The young woman, surprisingly, had soft eyes even though she was cautious around her.
"Oh! I see you're finally awake. Hey there..."
She blinked several times, trying to get all the pollen out of her eyes, and tried to sit up, but found her body unresponsive. The girl noticed this and offered a helping hand. With the help of the young woman, she sat up. Her surroundings were a stranger to her.
"There we go! You all better now? Let me introduce myself. I am Laurencia, a humble warrior. Do you see that elderly man in the front? His name's Leo. We found you in a field all by yourself."
"Rency, I thought I told you to stop addressing me to others by my age." said the man Leo, irritated.
"And I thought I told you to stop calling me by that old baby name. I'm not a child anymore, Leo!" The girl known as Laurencia turned her attention to the man Leo and they got into an argument.
She attempted to cease their squabbles, but decided that it was none of her business. The girl, after arguing with Leo, looked back at the woman.
"Anyways, what're doing here, stranger?" Leo asked.
"Leo, stop interrogating her. You didn't even ask her name. So, stranger, what's your name?"
She paused for a second and answered, "I don't know."
