"Leafy," Bree greeted her damaged follower to gain the nymph's attention. Leafolio was sitting among the plants; their broken limbs now had tiny vine sprouts. "What happened to your arms?" Leafolio looked at her; she watched as their stumps moved around for a moment before Leafolio just sadly shook their head.
Bree sat on the ground and lightly patted Leafolio's bushy head, "Would you like me to regrow them for you?" Leafolio shook their head, and Bree nodded. "I suppose it's best to let them grow back how you want them to; I hope you're able to give yourself a fine set of hands," Leafolio nodded, and Bree got up, leaving the Wood Nymph to recover in peace.
"During my long absence, if anything were broken or changed, I would like you to come and tell me now," Her message sent. Bree sat on the ground and took a moment to enjoy her Coffee. Leafolio slowly scooted closer to her until they were at the farm's edge and stared at her.
"My Lady!" Jaden called out as she rushed down the bride, "I am so happy to see you have finally awoken,"
"Jaden," Bree Greeted, "Did you come all this way just to see me, or has something happened to you while I slumbered?"
"I'm very sorry," Jaden said as she lowered herself to Bree, "A man in enchanted armor destroyed My Mace,"
"Oh, don't worry," Bree said calmly. I made several spares." Bree reached into her inventory and pulled out a mace, which Jaden accepted with gusto.
"Thank you, my lady. I won't let this one be destroyed." While Jaden was bowing, the front door opened, and Beth walked out with Orion behind her. He was eating a very large sandwich and proceeded to drop into a sitting position.
"Who is that?" Jaden asked as she looked at Beth.
"I am Beth," She replied. "I…I'm the woman Sir Silver spared,"
"Oh," Jaden suddenly looked interested as she looked her up and down. Having only ever seen her wearing the fullest of armor and having never heard her speak, she had thought she was just some sort of enchanted armor. "I might have to ask him if I can borrow you," Beth blushed as Jaden nodded. "You'd make an excellent addition to the Protectors." As Jaden began inspecting Beth, Daisy calmly made her way down the bridge.
"My Lady," She said with a bow, "I am happy to see you awake; when you have a moment, I would like to discuss the issue of the horses,"
"Happily," Bree replied; there was a moment of silence between her and Daisy before Bree took a sip and nodded, "Ok, I have a moment; talk to me, Daisy,"
"As per your orders, we did not kill a single horse during the fight that ended up putting you to sleep, but we are having trouble caring for all of them; with my original brethren and all of them put together, we have three horses for every one person in the town, it's starting to become a serious problem,"
"Oh," Bree got up and stretched, "I'll just turn them all into Minotorian Centaurs and have them go start their own town," Daisy looked scared at Bree's words, and she quickly added, "Not you, Daisy, I like you too much so you can only leave if that is what you wish, and with several weeks of notice prior so I have time to convince you to stay,"
"I wish to stay and serve you," Daisy declared instantly.
"Good, I will power them all up, but to a far lesser extent than I have to you; I think about the strength of an average monster should do," Bree took another sip of her drink before adding, "Daisy, gather up all of the horses, the ones who were original with you but who had no interest in serving me directly can be designated the leaders of their new town as a show of respect to their decision and so they know there are no hard feelings," Daisy nodded and headed out to gather the many horses under her care,"
"Beth," Bree said, turning to her newest follower. "I would like you to sit next to me and tell me everything about Odren's plan to kill Argit." As Bree waited for Beth to sit next to her, she turned her gaze to Inky, smiling as she watched him play with his mother.
