Nod. Let me know when you feel well enough to move, then - sitting up would help but you don't need to stand or walk, I'll be teleporting you anyway. I know a couple nice places for scenery, too, if you want to go out during the day.

Day?

...when the sun is up? We, uh, have, days, here - the sun comes up and it's bright and gets warm, and then the sun goes down and that's night, it's dark and gets colder, and it repeats. It's usually safer during the day, since it's easier to see things and most of the dangerous animals hunt at night; nights are longer during the fall and winter and days are longer during the spring and summer.

Okay. Angband's dark all the time. Whole world's dark all the time I think, now.

Definitely a different world, then. It's going to be the darkest part of the year soon and we still get hours of sun every day.

Okay. 

As soon as you're ready, I can take you up to see it.

Okay.

Maybe in a few days.

Nod.

I have some things that help with pain and stress, if you want them. I'm not sure if they're safe for your species, though, they are for mine and aren't for tigerfolk.

No thank you. I don't like being drugged.

Okay. She hugs her knees to her chest again.

Sorry if this is awkward. I feel like I shouldn't be leaving you alone, but I don't want to ask you to talk about anything you don't want to and I'm kind of out of practice at being around people.

I'm happy to talk about anything the Enemy already knows. 

I have no idea what that means.

I think you work for the Enemy. It's likelier than that teleportation magic exists and you've rescued me. So I won't tell you anything that the Enemy doesn't already know, but I'll happily tell you other things.

...all right. I still don't know enough about anything to guess what that means in practice, though.

Fine. I'm also happy not talking.

Okay. She looks slightly more miserable.

He picks up on that, but very distantly, and the Enemy knows what he's like and can use it against him and -

sigh.

Tell me more about sunrises.

They're never quite the same, but it's... she pulls up a memory, and sends it without realizing as she describes each stage. The very first bit is that the sky brightens, goes from black to grey to blue...

He sighs contentedly.

Oh good. Oh good she needed that and it's not even slightly okay to demand it of him but she needed to know it could happen, she feels so much better now.

I'll definitely have to bring you up to see one, sometime.

It's beautiful.

...your magic gets more than just words, huh. It might be a good idea to explain more of that to me, it wouldn't be good for you to get my magic by accident. But...

Here's more sunrises, and sunsets, and beautiful vistas and interesting flowers and songs at night around a campfire. She can keep going for quite a while; it seems to be doing her good, too, to remember it.

After a while his breathing gets steadier and he falls asleep.

She sits by him for a little while after that, much calmer than she has been, and eventually she has something to eat and goes to bed.
