and feel free to have Dra be firm with 'Dessa. I have a feeling she'll totally freak out and shut off XDOdessa hung onto Imhotep tightly, looking fairly pathetic. At that moment she wasn't even in pain, but she was terrified none the less. The medic remained still against the warmth of her mate's body, moving only to tilt her head upwards to the footsteps on the hard dirt of the upstairs. Orange eyes remained open as the monotone girl watched her pseudo cousin approach with a smile. Odessa smiled back, and gave a nod instead of a verbal greeting, to afraid that she'd do something wrong even by speaking.
In the room above, the slave pottered around quickly, but skilfully. Scarred hands used a large knife to chop up the wood and then to strike a fire into the pit. Pulling a cauldron onto the hooks above, he moved down where Draugr stood. Averting his eyes from the crowd, he spoke, 'Not putting fire down here. No room for smoke to leave' he said, pointing upwards. 'You want fire, is upstairs...' he added, waiting for further commands.
As Draugr spoke to Odessa, she shook her head, unable to speak, and then nodded. No to the first sentence, yes to the second. Her whole spine ached from the position she half sat, half lay in. But then again, she didn't really want to move either. There was a squeak of pain from Odessa and she burrowed herself in Imhotep's arm tightly.
