Avery

Avery walked down the stairs of the medical center in a light pink dress that accented her sun-kissed skin and blonde waves. Little yellow flowers covered the dress, and it was made of a breezy fabric that exposed her arms. It fit a bit tight in the chest, making her breasts stick out more than she would prefer, but it hugged her small waist before expanding down her hips and stopping just above her calves. She felt feminine and fresh in the new dress.

While in the washroom, Avery had washed her hair and studied her forehead, looking for the Goddess mark. It had shocked her to see it on her forehead. When Savine claimed that she was his gift and marked by the Goddess, she had been so angry with him and hadn’t believed that there was anything more than the scar from hitting her head on the quartz during the bear attack. Seeing it with her own eyes was a shock that she didn’t need to see again. Nobody needed to see the crown of five stars across her hairline. That would just draw even more unnecessary attention to her.

Avery walked down to the main floor, where Savine rested on a couch. His beard was trimmed and neat and his hair was pulled back into a bun. He wore brown pants and a linen shirt that accented his muscular arms and chest. On his hip was a belt of knives, and his sword lay nearby. Avery touched his shoulder and motioned for him to scoot over as she sat beside him on the couch.

“You look lovely,” Savine said as he shifted himself into a sitting position. His voice came out harsher, more restrained than normal.

“Thank you. I was pleasantly surprised that there are showers here,” Avery replied.

“Why wouldn’t we have showers?” Savine asked with a serious expression on his face.

“You know, fantasy world. No modern conveniences. You don’t have processed food, so who knows what else your world is lacking?”

Savine laughed at her response before growing serious. “I went to see Garnel. I heard all that you did to save him. You saved my friend again, and for that, I am indebted to you.”

“You’ve saved me twice, so we’re not even yet!” Avery said.

“No. I’m happy to save you anytime you need rescuing,” Savine said. “Now that you’re here, though, I have someone I want you to meet, and I would like to show you where you will stay in Bayberry.” Savine stood up and offered Avery his hand. She took it, his large hand enfolding around hers. That electric, warm connection flowed through their fingertips and up the length of Avery’s arm. Why hadn’t they talked about what this could mean in more detail?

“What, we’re not going to keep sharing a tent?”

“No, we aren’t. We’ll both stay in our own bedrooms,” Savine said with a wink. “Why? Are you disappointed?”

“I’ve grown used to your old man snores, of course. It’s like white noise.” Avery playfully tapped her side into his.
