Vieira took a few steps back while Snake took a few inside the cave. He did not come too far but she did not say anything against it. If he was comfortable there, so was she. He was one of the few males she was comfortable in the presence of. He did not treat her any differently than he did anyone else, there was a sort of indifference in him about the situation more than anything. It was a nice breath of fresh air. She did not plan to spill her deepest and darkest sets of emotions but she could talk to him without too much worry. She did not speak unless spoken to with him but it was not left with an awkward silence if he chose to be quiet. There was not the need for her to talk like Kaena expected of her sometimes, in which Vieira forced herself to find something to say.
"I am okay," she said, regardless of the fact she still hut and had a hard time sleeping. It was a generic answer that she was accustomed to using. It had never mattered if she was in pain or not and she had to keep her owners satisfied. But she was all right, a little sore and tender in places, but she would heal nicely if she stayed on the straight path she was on. Kaena did not have her doing too exerting tasks and things were pretty calm. She was well fed, at least, and that was something else that boosted her healing process. Vieira ate as if starved every time and generally ate more than usual, her body taking in as much nutrition as she could get to help the wound on her tender backside. "Are you?" she asked softly, a smile lingered at the corner of her lips.
He did not waste time to bring up the thing he brought and for the first time since he had been here, she noticed the stuffed reindeer. Her golden eyes lay fondly on the creature as he held it out for her and she slowly lifted an arm to carefully take it as if he would snatch it back or Kaena would show up to object the animal. Her thin digits wrapped around it, taking it in to her person as she looked it over. It was strange looking, like a deer with a red nose, and she wondered if it had any real purpose in life. It was soft, plush, and she found a bit of comfort by just looking at it. The slave slowly brought it to her face so she could study the features of the toy while Snake explained why he had brought it. "Thank you," she said quietly and she squeezed the softness of the toy. Vieira sincerely hoped her owner would let her keep it.
Vieira brought the toy to her chest, giving it a bit of a hug to test it out. A smile lingered on her features as she looked in the general direction of her friend. "I like it," she said with a hint of joy in her voice. She was genuine in her words. "I do not have anything for you," she said, her joy faltering and she struggled to keep it in line. There was a bit of sadness to her tone and she wished she had something to give him in return. It was only polite, after all, and her smile started to fade from the happy look she had just seconds before. If she would have known he had something for her from the city, she might have tried to pick something out without Kaena knowing or perhaps talking to her about it. Maybe that would come up a little bit later, the next time she had to go to the city she would try and find something that stuck out to her that gave her the impression Snake would like it.
