Prompt: "Star"

Season: Spring

Timeline: Pre-Series


"I know you can't understand me, but is there any chance I could get something warm to wear?" Dalia stood in the middle of the woman's home, sopping wet from the rain storm and running through the river to escape the monsters that had attacked her carriage. Her mind was still hazy as to how it happened; one moment she and her escort are flirting with each other, the next some woman-thing is haggling them for their belongings, eventually overturning the carriage and snatching the star necklace from her neck.

The woman regarded her with a look of indifference and disappeared from what Dalia assumed was the living room. The house was so small she wondered if the woman had any belongings to give that weren't for her only. Rubbing her arms in an attempt to keep warm, Dalia leaned forward to look into the next room. The woman walked past the entrance once or twice, seemingly oblivious to the soggy white girl puddling in her house.

A moment later she returned with a blanket that she wrapped around her shoulders. The woman didn't speak when she lead her toward the fire, Dalia smiled pleasantly and mimicked a motion of thanks she saw one of the women in the city perform.

The woman patted her on the shoulder and moved out of the room again, a few seconds later she returned with a towel that used to mop up the water. Dalia watched her quietly, careful of her proximity around the fire. "Do you live here by yourself?" Dalia wasn't sure why she was speaking; the woman clearly didn't understand what she was saying.
