Azzurra was quiet for a few moments, only giving Safie a gentle nod in reply, her mind still preoccupied by thoughts of beautiful wild flowers blowing gently in the breeze. As they neared the purple room, and she felt the vixen shift beneath her, she immediately became aware of her surroundings, eyes scouring every corner for potential threats, ears standing on end, swiveling to catch the smallest noise. As she moved from Safie's back, she stumbled a little, but quickly regained her balance, wincing as she put some weight on her injured leg, and soon settling herself close to the mattress. As she caught the other girl's smile, her cheeks flushed slightly, causing her to bury her face in her own chest, embarrassed even further by her own reaction.
Her face buried in fur, she mumbled an incomprehensible response before she slowly, shyly, removed her muzzle in order to explain. "N-No.... And I.... Only r-really have one friend.... Who I.... H-Haven't seen.... In awhile...." She waited in silence for Safie to return once again, attempting to regain her composure, but unable to contain a sheepish blush as it crept across her features. "O-Okay...." She looked a little hesitant, but she held out her paw anyways, closing her eyes tightly and looking away as if that would numb the pain. Her limbs shook slightly, her lower lip trembling, as she waited for Safie to pour the peroxide. She yelped as the wound began to sting, whimpering softly and hunkering down more, but she did not pull away. She knew it was for the best.

The yelp made her glance upwards, watching the girl hunker down and whimper with sympathy. She continued her duties, though she did let out a soothing hum as she did so. She rose her hands to check the paw closer, and then moved away, returning with a tube. Opening it, she spread cool gel across the wound, rubbing very gently before nodding. With this, she grabbed wrap and began to wrap the paw, all the while humming. Her eyes raised to view Azzy, and when she was done she kissed the top of the bandaged paw, as if she was a mother consoling a child, and smiled.
"I'm sure that hurt. I can get you some water? Are you hungry? I can make you something, and there is berries."

Azzy kept her eyes closed, ears laying back as she continued to shake, no longer from fear, though the feeling was ever-present in the back of her mind, but simply due to the weakness of her body and her lack of tolerance for the pain. Her whimpers came and went, trembling a little with the rest of her body, before she felt the cool gel slowly numb the wound. She looked up at Safie once again, her eyes soft and helpless, but very thankful for the kindness she felt when the other vixen touched her wounds, and any other part of her body for that matter. Instead of watching her leg as it was wrapped, she watched the female tending to her, ears perked with interest as the song soothed her battered soul. Her body began to relax as the pain melted away, and her eyelids drooped slightly with a sense of calm and security. However, the moment Safie kissed her paw, her eyes widened and her face flushed as she bashfully forced her eyes downwards in order to study the mattress. "O-Oh well I-I.... Th-That would be.... L-Lovely...." She did not know what else to say, her embarrassment and heated emotions made it so that words were hard to come by. "I am quite.... H-Hungry...." Muttering softly, she tried to keep concentrated on the bed instead of the beautiful, gentle vixen standing before her.

Nodding at the female, she smiled as the other turned a faint red, almost concerned until she realized it must be a blush. Perhaps the kiss on her paw made the girl nervous? Oh, she meant it was comforting! Standing, she walked over to the berries she had previously mentioned, which were residing in a basket. Placing it onto the bed, she turned towards the door to head for the kitchen.
"The berries are fresh, I just picked them. I'll make a salad and heat up last nights soup, I hope you don't mind stilton leek soup." She smiled warmly at the girl before heading out and to the kitchen, briefly checking to see if her shy sister was home. She wasn't, and so she'd focus on making Azzy food~

Azzy continued to stare at the mattress, looking up only once in order to study Safie's markings shyly, never having taking notice of them before now. As the other vixen turned back with the basket of berries, she lowered her eyes, this time to the floor, pursing her lips as she stared at Safie's toes for a moment. "Th-Thank you...." Listening to the girl's quiet steps as she moved away, Azzy turned her gaze to the berries, reaching out with her healthy paw, the other sticking close to her chest for familiarity. Popping a few in her mouth, she munched on them, her ears perked, eyes alert once again. "Th-These are very good.... And s-soft.... I-I would be h-happy with anyth-thing...!" Realizing the other had left the room, she began to stretch her body out, wincing slightly at the uneasy way her injured limb seemed to bend. Finally, she scooted herself closer to the basket and began to pick at the berries inside, tasting each type and rooting through to eat the best of them. She was still a little nervous, but she was trying not to focus on her thoughts of the other vixen; she was being pitied, not treated specially. Her ears drooped slightly at the thought.

The soft thank you caused a gentle smile to play across Safie's face while she puttered around in the kitchen. The girl was so shy and sweet, it warmed her heart. With a quiet nod, even if the other could not see her face, she began to set to work, chopping lettuce and berries, quietly making a salad that was both healthy as well as sweet. The soul was vegetable soup made with homemade tomato sauce, heated up last. Her tail flicked out and wrapped around the bowl of salad while she carried the soup back to the girl.
"I hope this is fine. I need to go grocery shopping soon, but I need a hand so I'm waiting for my sister to come home or one of the villagers to visit." She set the food down on the desk, turning to view the pretty girl. She wanted to ask her many things, but she didn't want to make the already nervous vixen even more so.

Azzy's ears began to swivel and twitch at the slightest sound, her head turning towards the door as she gently grabbed a handful of berries and slowly nibbled on them, wondering at the noises. She had never spent any time cooking for herself, nor had she ever been around someone who enjoyed cooking for others; her meals had all been caught or snagged from a cabinet as she passed through the noodle shop. The smells were all new to her as well, her nose sniffing at the air, snout scrunching up as she tried to separate the different scents. Leaning towards the door, she made a few advances in the way of it before she heard footsteps in the hallway once again. Skittering her way back towards, and onto, the bed, she put her paws over top of her eyes as if to hide herself, wincing in pain as one of her muscles started to twitch and spasm, suddenly letting it drop.
Looking towards Safie with her uncovered eye, she nodded and once again sniffed innocently at the meal, licking her lips in a gentle, but hungry manner. "I r-really appreciate it.... Y-You didn't.... Go to much t-trouble did you....? I-I mean...." Her eyes darting back and forth she pursed her lips and shrunk down a little, "I-I should repay you somehow.... I-Is th-there anything I can d-do....?"

Having seen the frightened display and heard the girls words her ears flicked back and mouth tightened. Carefully, she settled down on the floor, giving the girl space, and shook her head with a smile.
"No no. It was fine, really. I enjoy helping and it's what I do for free naturally. It's why I live here." Her hands slowly raised to show no intent of harm as she rose and approached the girl, lifting a hand near her face. "May I feel your forehead? You were harmed and the probability of an infection is not impossible. I'd like to keep tabs on your temperature if that is alright?"
Her wings fluttered, briefly remembering how angry her mother would be if she knew that not only did she house her sister but was helping a wingless woman. Hell, her mother was already disappointed by half the things she did... She may as well keep it up.
"You don't need to be afraid. Nothing can harm you once you are in this house. You're perfectly safe, I'd never allow harm to befall you. I promise."

Azzurra watched with delicate eyes, glittering softly with curiosity and a little bit of fright, the pain giving them a hint of glassiness as she followed Safie's movements, however small, and listened to the gentle words of encouragement. Her ears slowly, tentatively, laid back against her head as she hunkered down more, unsure of why the other vixen seemed so tried by her words. "Y-Yes but.... W-Well I d-don't think y-you should do it alone.... E-Everyone needs.... Some help...." Speaking out then, she realized that it was her who had always, and would always, need help, but more than anything, she wanted to show Safie her strength. She was the weak link here, her anxieties had always crippled her from speaking out, but now she wished to do something for someone else, someone who deserved it.
Seeing the paw reach towards her, she pulled her head back slightly until it stopped right in front of her face, eyes widening in distress. It took her a moment after the words had reached her ears for her brain to comprehend the fact that there was no negative intent behind the action. Allowing her neck to relax, she pressed her head forward onto the paw pad, eyes closing gently as she gave a little nuzzle. Yes, this was okay, she trusted this paw, it was trying to heal her. "I-I believe you," she said softly, giving a gentle sigh as she forgot the food for the moment.

Viewing the woman, Safie flicked an ear in thought. Perhaps she was hurting the other by not allowing the woman to assist? She knew her sister disliked when she was viewed unable to help and Safie tried to baby her. Perhaps Safie was doing more harm than good. A soft smile touched her face as the other rested her forehead against her paw, soft eyes flicking to the side as she focused on Azzy's temperature. Finally, she removed her paw and sighed in content.
"Luckily, no fever at the moment." She moved away from Azzy, approaching the dresser and setting down the medicines and items, leaving the food. Maybe she could use Azzy's help.
"Actually, I could use some help when you're healed more. In a few weeks the village I care for is having an event and I offered to cook some meals. I won't be able to collect herbs and restock, perhaps you could do that for me?"

Azzurra's face looked blissful and calm for once, her shakes and spasms gone for the moment as she let her forehead press to Safie's paw. When she finally felt it pull away, her body rocked forward slightly before she caught herself and a soft blush spread across her cheeks. Scooting herself back a pace or two on the bed, she started to pick at the berries once again, this time in a nervous manner rather than out of real hunger. She popped a few gently into her mouth and looked up at Safie once again, awe and appreciation there, mixed with a hint of something else.
"Once I'm healed? Does that.... Does that m-mean I'm going to..... B-Be here for awhile....?" Her tail twitched and she gently laid it down on the mattress next to her, a little smile also twitching at the corners of her mouth. "A.... Few weeks....?" A slight twinkle was seen in her eyes as she thought about finally having a makeshift home, if only for a week or two. "Yes," she whispered, finally smiling despite herself, the excitement gleaming in her usually fear-ridden face, a beautiful sight to behold. "I would be m-more than happy to h-help...."

She had expected more resistance! The woman looked... Happy? Not afraid or nervous, but genuinely excited. Was Azzy lonely? She had seemed to latch onto the thought of staying a few weeks, and while Safie was sure the injury would heal within two weeks time ( at least allow Azzy to use it properly ) she didn't necessarily rid the thought of perhaps keeping Azzy around until the wound was practically gone. Safie loved guests, and she knew her sister would love company. If Azzy wanted somewhere to stay then she was more than welcomed to stay as long as she wanted.
"Of course. I couldn't have you running around injured! That would worry me to death, and your wound wouldn't heal properly." She noted the others mouth and how it hinted at a smile, returning a bigger grin towards Azzy. The girl was simply adorable. Even Safie had to admit it!
"But! Until I say so I want you to rest, alright? I can get you a crutch so you can walk around the house, but nothing strenuous until I give the word. You can watch a movie with me or help me cook if you get bored~" Her wings fluttered, seemingly happy to have a guest. Especially such a sweet one!

Azzurra had been alone as far back as she could remember, living amongst the flowers, foraging for her own food, running from what she considered to be predators, no matter how harmless they seemed. Once, a long time ago, she had lived with another fox, a young male who referred to her as his "special pet," who watched her grow with interest and taught her what it truly meant to serve. They did many things together, things that often hurt to remember, and it was during those times that she realized just how alone she was in this world. Ever since she had narrowly escaped his grasp, wriggled her way through a tear in the fence and surrounded herself in the forest's maze, she had felt more surrounded by life and understanding than ever before. So she had never stopped traveling, and stayed away from any other forms of life that were not sustained by the earth and the rain. Being here now, for the first time she felt like she had been missing out on something by avoiding people; here was someone who understood passion and pain, who helped others by making use of the plants Azzurra so admired.... She felt at home here as much as she did back in that forest, free after years of pain.
"O-Of course...." she said softly, rolling a few berries around on her paw pad and between her toes before slowly tasting one or two. Her ears twitched at the "but!," accidentally crushing the berries as she clenched her paw together in anticipation, turning her fur, as well as her cheeks, a bright red. "Yes.... An-Anything you ask...." She moved her paw around nervously, not wanting the juice to drip on anything Safie had kindly given her, and instead allowing it to drip onto her tail. "I-I'm sorry, I...." At the mention of doing things together, her cheeks started to burn, and her eyes widened. "I would be m-more than happy....! I would lo-love to...!" The poor girl, her heart was going to explode with all this excitement!((I don't care if this doesn't match up with what I've said before ; A; Azzy is gonna have a somewhat traumatic backstory, okay?! OKAY.))

Frowning when the other's tail became stained, Safie held a finger up to indicate a minute before she walked off and into the kitchen. Grabbing a rag and wetting it, she returned with it and offered it to Azzy so the girl could wash her tail. Normally, Safie would do it herself, but she didn't want to upset the sweet girl anymore than she already had! Azzy's response sent a smile through Safie's face, tail wagging gently.
"Oh? Really? That's wonderful." Chuckling in delight, the girl settled on the floor and wrapped her tail around her side, head tilting to the side.
"You don't mind? Staying here until you're better? I'm not trying to trap you, and you can leave whenever, it's just.... your leg. I'm worried you'll hurt it even worse."

As soon as the other girl disappeared through the doorway, Azzurra pressed both paws to her face, hiding in shame at her nervous nature which kept driving the other vixen from the room. At this rate, she would never have a real conversation with this beautiful femme she had come to admire and even to care about, in her own way; all she wanted was to know more, to learn about Safie, in an intimate way. By the time Azzurra realized what she was doing, it was too late; the fur around her left eye was a deep red. She looked down, almost ashamed of her own absent-mindedness, and delicately reached out to take the wet rag. She slowly began to rub the stains from her tail, squeezing the water out of the rag onto her paw in order to wash that away as well.
"W-Wonderful....? You think...?" Her voice was soft, and a smile tugged at her lips, imagining spending time with Safie, wondering if she would be content with such a nervous lady at her side. Watching a movie together, snuggled up on the couch.... Shaking her head, she folded up the rag and began dabbing at her eye, blindly trying to wipe off a stain she cannot see. "No," she said suddenly, her voice steady, "I-I mean no.... It's no problem.... A-At all...." She lowered her voice and looked up at Safie, biting her lip slightly, "I know wh-what it means.... To be trapped.... I want to be here.... I-It's.... Comfortable.... Safe...." She put down the rag then, the berry juice still sinking into the fur above her eye, "U-Until my leg.... Gets better...." It was right then that Azzy wished she could be straight forward, tell her that this was a place she could see herself staying in forever, but that wasn't her.... She hoped one day, after spending enough time living among others of her kind, maybe it could be.
