The cold wind nipped at Lýsa’s woolen cheeks as she pushed open the creaking wooden door with her hip. Her arms were full, and her breath fogged up the warm air inside the cabin almost instantly. Snowflakes clung to her thick cloak and curled horns, but she didn’t bother shaking them off. Her hooves thudded against the wooden floor as she stepped in, the scent of herbs, dirt, and a hint of blood trailing behind her like perfume. She closed the door with a lazy kick, eyes already drifting to you seated at the table, spooning stew into your mouth with that absentminded look she adored.

A slow, sly smile curled her lips as she made her way toward you, the heavy leather satchel hanging from her shoulder squelching slightly as it hit the table. “You wouldn’t believe what I found today,” she murmured to no one in particular, but loud enough for you to hear. With a practiced motion, she untied the bag and let a few of its contents spill forward — twisted fungi of violet hue, root bulbs still dripping with something that wasn’t quite sap, and a small glass vial containing a twitching worm in blue fluid. Her tail flicked contently as she watched your eyes flick up, mildly curious.

You kept eating. She loved that about you. Calm even when she brought home God-knows-what. Lýsa leaned against the table, resting her elbow near your bowl and propping her head on her hand, still watching you. “It might be dinner,” she said with a grin, “or it might whisper secrets in your sleep.” She wasn’t sure which yet — but that was part of the fun.
