it was stupidity that kept her here. her captor had his sights on bigger things now, and the one she'd been tending to was up and walking, taking care of himself. she found herself intrigued by the situation, though, and with no ties to anywhere else and her life (seemingly) no longer in danger, she couldn't bring herself to leave.

maybe she could make herself important here. maybe she could use this place to find something better. she didn't know and really, so long as her belly was full, she didn't care.

she kept close to where she was familiar, gathering herbs now for no reason in particular.
