"- Good night Danadriel, I hope I'm not interrupting you...
- Oh good night Lydia! didn't expect you to see this late in the night around my workshop, what brings you here?
- I'm exhausted yet I can't sleep, so I thought having some fresh air could help...
- Are the interlopers tormenting you again?
- Yes, not just me but also the children and all the other mothers, our dorm is restless, the interlopers are driving us insane!
- Yes...those cowards can't breach our walls but they can breach our minds...they wanna win through attrition, driving us restless and insane...
- how you faring with your nightmares Danadriel?
- Well you know I only sleep every 3 days so I'm fine most of the time, but for the nights I need to rest my fire keeps me safe.
- Your fire? you mean this little furnace in your bedroom?
- Yes, fire is the key to resist the curse of the interlopers, I don't know why but they cant grip our minds when we are near fire...so this fire not just keeps me from freezing but also grants me decent sleep.
- Is your fire magical? is there some rune on it? please tell me.
- Well I think all fire is magical at some degree, but no there is no magical intervention here, its just coal and some small wood logs...you know some believe the fire was a gift from the gods to mortals to keep evil at bay, maybe there is some truth to it...
- Why didn't you told us about it? it could help us a lot in the last days!
- Sorry but I expected your egghead witch would have figured this out already, I mean she is so full of herself and has all the knowledge in the world, I had no idea such simple trick was beyond her reach.
- Couldn't you have just a little friendly conversation with Agatha to explain that?
- how can I have a friendly conversation with someone who despises me and avoids my presence at all costs?
- Danadriel listen...she just has a strong trauma and don't deal well with that...
- Yes?...and what I have to do with that? how I contribute to this trauma?
- Well...her family was butchered by a werewolf when she was only 9...and well she knows of your curse...
- My curse!? how do you know about that!?
- Please don't get exalted...Agatha told me when she needed to open about her pain, she told me how she discovered your curse and everything...but your secret is safe with me.
- At this pace all the fortress will know my secret before the winter...are you not afraid of me Lydia?
- I'm terrified of your curse, but you helped us so much in the last months I dont think you want to harm us.
- Good, I have no intentions of harming anyone here, especially you.
- Moving it aside, can I make you a strange request?
- oh? yes what you need?
- Can I sleep with you tonight?
- what? why?
- Please I just need a good rest night, I'm at my limit!
- Are you really willing to share bed with a werewolf?
- Yes, I just want a good rest near your fire...
- Alright, it will be a little tight but we can share a bed.
- Thank you Danadriel thank you!
- You welcome, get yourself comfy, I will get a blanket for us."
