Bitterroot Valley but now she won't be going back with the rest

It was clear she was disappointed by the lackluster reply, even as she tried to hide it. Maybe it was weird to find Sega so handsome. He was older than her, after all. Older than her and Elowyn both. She tried to brush it off, but eagerly agreed, "He's a very kind man."

Talk of her injury had her grimacing again, however. It was embarrassing to be injured, nevermind to be nursed back to health by a completed (handsome) stranger afterward.

"That's sweet of you to say," Angel replied, diplomatic despite her misgivings. And, unfortunately for Elowyn, Angel was both perceptive enough to have caught on that there was a story, and eager enough to change the subject to ignore certain other perceptions: like how it seemed Elowyn liked this topic just about as much as Angel had liked the last one.

"What did he help you with?" she asked other girl, planting her ass in the grass to settling in for a story.
