[clearly the only place to leave an unconscious San, post-kidnapping, is in the center of the main village square, where people will notice her. That's why they did it so early in the morning, you understand. And left those lovely (but small) bloodstains against the snow]

[this is sounding more and more like a trap]

I would only go into the house of a human who had harmed the forest. And then only to kill them.

[not giving the knife back. Don't worry though, Hugo, she'll end up inside one way or the other, you'll see]

[oh, she tried to leave. She didn't get far before collapsing, though, and she's out cold again. This time he could carry her somewhere. But if he's smart, it won't be the clinic]

[forestpride]

[and she will stay conveniently asleep until she warms up or he does anything painful. ...But she won't let go of the knife yet]

[forestpride]

[she doesn't have a lot of wounds, but they're all deep, and the bleeding ones are bleeding because she's ripped out their stitches with her movements. And she's going to warm up into a high fever, too, not that that'll stop her]

[forestpride]

[Well, San won't even give one damn about her blood ruining the human clothes. He shouldn't either. She should be good now until she wakes and finds herself inside. ...He didn't use that disinfectant, did he?]

[forestpride]

[But it's so wonderfully warm in this place that in just a couple more minutes she's fully awake. She sits up suddenly, raising the knife and looking around]
