i reach out to my lifeline, the angels laugh in paradise
The girl was being so kind, it was difficult to believe. It took a bit for El to completely process it, but when they did, they said, "Thank you, for your help." It was disappointing that she didn't have any food, but still the water was all they really needed. And she was even inviting them to a town nearby!
El knew enough about manners to know that it was polite to show gratitude to those who were kind to you. However, they weren't as well-versed in small talk, so they continued laying there in silence for a bit, listening to the chittering of animals and the wooshing sound of the wind.
They longed to sit up and look around. So, they did, using their hands to support their upper body, grunting a little in effort before swiveling their head around curiously. Whatever place they were in, it was truly gorgeous, with wildflowers in colors that El had never known were possible. Even the air smelled sweet, and the atmosphere calm. They supposed that if finding a place like this was the reward, all the boring and exhausting parts of adventuring were worth it.
"Is this not -- what did you call it -- Wenzoat's Refuge? All I saw while traveling around here were creepy burial mounds and mist so thick you can't see what's ahead of you. This place seems like a refuge to me." They wanted to know more about this place specifically, especially since this stranger seemed so knowledgeable. "How could such a beautiful place exist in the middle of somewhere so gloomy?" they murmured to themself in wonder.
