For as tired as she was, Naethra had a hard time falling asleep. She was in a bed! It'd been ages since she'd been able to sleep in a bed. But still, weary and drained as she was, sleep wouldn't come.
She tossed and turned, her leafy hair ruffling under pressures, her now notable chest and bottom weighing oddly on her frame. Her body felt so different. It took almost an hour for her to realize why it felt so wrong; her tail was gone. It used to curl around her legs under her covers while she slept. Odd that she found herself missing it...
Her mind wandered to the day's trials. To her pink faerie fire, her empowered bolts, and that terrifying moment when her connection had been severed. She tried to think about how that would work, what sort of force or magic could disrupt the pact? How had she been brought here?
When she thought everyone else was asleep, she quietly got up from her bed, fetched a dagger from her pack, and carved the words "What do I owe you?" in elvish over her bunk. Only then, with her question posed, did she find herself drifting into restful sleep.
