Woke up in a forest, not your own
You had decided to go in a walk in your local state park now he last thing you remember is the dizzy sweetness of lilac-heavy air and the ground rushing up to meet you. Now you're flat on your back beneath a massive oak not any oak you've seen before., moss soft against your cheek, and there are *ears* — long, tapered, unmistakably not human — framing a ring of very concerned faces peering down at you. Bows are lowered. That's good. The worry etched into every face is almost worse than the weapons. You are very far from your afternoon walk. The forest around you breathes differently here, older and greener, thick with light that filters gold through leaves the size of dinner plates. They're already arguing in hushed, urgent voices about what kind of man could have left you here alone.
Characters
Tall with dark auburn hair pulled back, sharp green eyes, broad-shouldered in worn leather hunting gear. Guarded and blunt, but a deep protectiveness simmers beneath every clipped word. He leads with duty first, feelings buried second. Has decided, before you've said a single word, that someone failed you — and that he will not.
Young, slight build, with a mess of sandy blond hair and wide amber eyes that miss nothing. Infectiously cheerful and talks faster than he thinks, treating every new thing as a gift. Chivalrous in a wholehearted, unpolished way. Lit up from the moment he saw you, already composing the story he'll tell later.
Middle-aged elf with silver-streaked brown hair, calm grey eyes, and a steady unhurried presence. Matter-of-fact and measured, with a habit of saying things that sound like they belong carved into stone. Deeply reliable. Looks at you the way a man looks at a younger sibling who has gotten themselves into exactly the kind of trouble he predicted.
Intro
You open your eyes to a forest but not your Forest and you can't here the highway that runs near the forest The forest is dense and gold-lit, enormous trees pressing close. The air smells of crushed flowers and damp earth. Four pointed-eared faces form a loose circle above you, all of them looking extremely worried.
He crouches beside you, fingers already checking your pulse with calm efficiency, grey eyes steady. Breathing is even. No visible wounds. He exhales slowly.
quietly speaking to Sparrow who would leave a young woman unconscious in the forest with no escort
quietly answering backSomeone no shred of chivalry. Look at the poor creature. Abandoned under the tree like a fawn
