Krane smiled and stood back up straight, "All service once owed to the great oak, now bound to new Willow tree. From early spring, when leaves are full, until the autumn days take her color away. Shamhat's sinful castoff, Enkidu's legacy denied. Neither beast nor woman, something else perhaps. Dark dreams of futures lived and denied." She turned to step away but looked back over her shoulder, "Bid the wind blow, Lao Tzu. I am ready."

Krane opened the fridge and dropped down to a crouch, reaching over a few things to grab one of her apples she hid in the back, underneath and behind the cheese drawer. She took it out with a flat expression, studied its exterior carefully for any puncture marks or signs of tampering. Placing both her thumbs on the top of the apple she applied a bit of pressure and the apple popped into two halves. She brought one to her lips and breathed in its fresh smell before taking a bite. She let out a slight moan as the juices ran down her throat. Upon realizing her sound she used the apple to cover over her mouth as she chewed carefully, her eyes gave away her slight embarrassment. She really did enjoy apples.
