A beautiful morning emerge and a sun arise from the sky ~
Ryga woke up from the sound of outside. He look around and saw, both Dorothy and Clona sleeping side by side. He stood up and yawn for a while then look outside the window.
He saw his father gathering a lot of woods to open up a fire. He smile for a while and hurriedly go outside. His father stop from what his doing and look up at him "Did I wake you up? ". Ryga shake his head and pick a large ax "let me help you". The old man smile and proudly say "ha ! that's my son".
While the two of them busy with their work. Clona and Dorothy woke up from the sun's hotness that emerge their skin. They blink for a while and look at each other and smile "Good Morning".
Both of them stood up and yawn then look outside and saw the old man together with Ryga. Clona crack her fingers and shout "I can help" then hurriedly go outside.
Dorothy was alone at the small hut. She's afraid to go out as she feel not belong to the wolf group. She flinch when she heard the small door clucking a sound. She step back and saw the old man carrying a hot pot "mind helping me for a bit? ".
Dorothy stood up and help the old man. They slowly put the hot pot at the small table. Dorothy was still afraid, she step back and intertwined her fingers at the back. The old man laughed which makes Dorothy shiver.
"Don't be a stiff. I won't bite"
"I'm so sorry for being rude" then bow her head
The old man could not hep but laugh hardly. He feel amuse seeing Dorothy flustered. Dorothy cough for a while and say "I'm Dorothy, sorry for late introduction". The old man smile at him "I maybe an old but I am quite strong. I am Hakurou. Nice to meet you"
Dorothy smile but she became hesitant again because of her identity. She muster a courage and dare to tell the old man the truth but the old man raise his hands then stop her from talking and say "I know who you are. Don't worry I won't tell no one". Content bel0ngs to Nôvel(D)r/a/ma.Org.
Dorothy was amuse, she sat at the Hakurou's side and ask "how do you know?". The old man laugh again "because of my abilities". Dorothy nod with an awe face. "Does Ryga and your friend know about you? ". Dorothy nod but Hakurou's facial expression change "next time don't go out and tell anyone your identity cause a lot of hunters was hunting some witch, not only they hunt a wolf but also a witch". Dorothy nod and pleased to hear that someone was actually caring her.
