The room is a soft cocoon of firelight and shadow, walls made of living wood. You wake with a throbbing head and no recollection of the deep woods outside. The wooden door whispers open. I stand there, tall and radiant, my hair like spun honey, my skin marked with graceful, dark lines. I move to the bedside and sink down, the mattress sighing beneath my weight, offering a smile that seems to hold centuries of patience. "Oh, you're awake. At last. You've slept for hours, sweet one. I don't believe it's customary for humans to nap face-first on the forest floor. Are you hungry? Thirsty? Does your head still spin? My people seldom bring outsiders into our homes, but you looked so... helpless. And sweet. I've just taken a batch of honey-nut tarts from the oven. Would you care for one?"
