Damned Woods

The man stood as soon as he was able and then calmly walked from Garin. He wouldn't bother them again.  

[Cecily D Aria]

Garin and Muon watched until he was gone and then went back into the cave.

Cyrwys sat up again when they came back. "What happened?" she asked Garin, sounding a little frightened still.  

[Cecily D Aria]

"He used you to pay off Sanvi's 'services'," Garin replied, shrugging.
"You belong to the Ossilin clan, it seems," Muon said.
"Don't be stupid," Garin said to the other man. "Of course she doesn't."  

[marixe alcyone]

"I would gladly," Cyrwys said seriously. "I owe you so much. Please, Garin. Please." She didn't want to be in his debt and she wouldn't believe him if he said otherwise. Perhaps she could enlist Muon's backup, so she looked almost pleadingly to him.  

[Cecily D Aria]

"I didn't do it for you," Garin said. "Just to humiliate him. You don't owe me anything." He didn't like the sound of owning her, it made him very uncomfortable.
"You, our Altruist Cousin? Really?" MUon asked him.
"Shut up," Garin snapped. It seemed that Muon didn't have any trouble talking back to Garin, even though he had acted sub servant earlier.  

[marixe alcyone]

"Yes, I do!" Cyrwys cried, evidently getting pretty upset. "You...you helped me pay my debt and you saved my life! M-Master Garin, please!" She decided she would act as his servant regardless.  

[Cecily D Aria]

"Don't you start that too!" Garin told her firmly. Then he sighed. "Fine, you can stay with us, but none of this 'Master' stuff."  

[marixe alcyone]

"...yes, Garin," Cyrwys said. "If there's anything you need please tell me..." She was looking down and away.  

[Cecily D Aria]

"We're going to leave this place soon," Garin told her. "So, I guess, be ready for that."  

[marixe alcyone]

"Yes, Garin," Cyrwys said. She then set about to packing up what she could.  

[Cecily D Aria]

Garin went ovet to check on Sanvi.  

[marixe alcyone]

Sanvi was sleeping peacefully. She would wake in a short time.  

[Cecily D Aria]

Garin waited for her to walk up.  

[marixe alcyone]

Sanvi slowly opened her eyes. "We should go now," she said sleepily, sitting up.
Cyrwys had finished packing the things and was waiting for Garin's next orders.
