~Erieda~

"Erieda" A soft voice broke through her dreamless slumber. "It's morning." Erieda rose her head to see Alexander walking away. She dropped her head again. "So this wasn't a nightmare...I really am here." She sighed. She wondered what had happened since she'd slept. She could have sworn that she'd felt someone touch her face as she slept but was too worn out to open her eyes. She heard the sweet sound of water running in the other room, she could only assume he was to bathe himself for the day. She desperately needed water, she was parched and she needed to heal. She was a Hamadryad after all. She needed water. It was pure lucky the distance from her lifetree hasn't made her sick already. She'd never been this far from her lifetree, but atleast it was safe, she assumed Thanoes gave it water, or she would have already been showing signs of the sickness.

If she were able to bathe then atleast she'd be able to heal her burns.

Alexander walked out just as a brittle old woman appeared with a dinning sets. She regarded him as Prince, to which Erieda already gathered. She was given to him after all. She watched as Alexander helped the poor woman, taking the trays from her. The woman didn't seem surprisee by this act of self reliance so Erieda gathered that this was in fact, how he was. It wasn't as if he was putting it on to lure her into a false sense of security. No, this was genuine.

Alexander then turned to her."Erieda" He said, calling her from her thoughts. "would you like your breakfast before or after your bath."
Erieda was taken aback. He actually meant what he said. Which also meant he really would punish her for disobedience but that much she believed. "After, thank you." She said regarding him carefully. It was only then she realised she thanked him as if he'd done her a favor. He was so...frustratingly confusing. If he was so kind, why keep her here against her will? It makes no bloody sense. Evidently she would rather be just about anywhere but here yet he treated her as if, should she disobey she'd been missing out on the fun. Burn it all! She thought, he was getting to her. She knew it was in part of Fae Nature but it was something else. Something about him.

"Alexander." She said suddenly. " I must warn you. Once I set foot in that water, I'll began to heal, my strength will return." She said, and wasn't entire sure why but then it struck her. "Tell you this only because thus far you've been honest with me. Thus Far and so I figure I return the favor," she repeated. "However, I will try to find my way out of here, just not yet. Do not mistake my honesty for obedience, I am here against my will after all." She said and the a smirk tugged her lips briefly. "Beside, I am Fae, I can not lie anyway." Her smirk faded and her darkgreen eyes bore into his. "I don't understand you but I'll figure you out and once I do, That'll be the day I break out of here." Her voice was calm, her features soft as if that wasn't basically a threat...well it wasn't, more of a warning really. "I hope I'm understood. I don't like repeating myself."
