Vin was groggy as she came to.
Confused. She had no idea where she was. That was bad, what if someone tried to steal her stuff.
She tried to sit up but a hand was quick to gently push her back on her back.
"Hey. Slow down."
She hurt. Not painfully but enough of it to be uncomfortable. She groaned.
She was reclined on some lounge chair, her limbs felt heavy. Everything was sluggish, even the voice that spoke to her.
"Hey sweetheart. Can you open your eyes?"
The voice was unknown to her but it calmed her. It was soft, deep and seemed to wash over her, calming her restlessness. She was certain she was safe.
Her eyelids were heavy as though someone had glued them shut. Everything was blurry and out of focus when she managed to open her eyes.
She blinked. Once. Twice.
A face came into focus.
It was a man. He had messy brown hair and dark eyes that looked at her lovingly. He was smiling.
Vin thought he was handsome, whoever he was.
"Wh' ru?"
He smiled wider.
"I'm Elend. Your boyfriend."
Vin's eyes widened.
"Bofend?"
He chuckled. He had a nice laugh, Vin thought.
Her eyes started to droop.
"Yes. Your boyfriend."
"Pwetty," she mumbled as she slowly was dragged unconscious.
She heard him laugh once more.
"Can't wait to tell you all thi-"
She slept.
