I regained consciousness in my room at the tavern. Nimri lay on my right side of my neck and Sanise had cuddled up from the left. Slightly frightened I briefly lifted the blanket and took a look. At least she had left me my panties on, which is not exactly what one could say about her. One had tied a bandage around me, which was probably meant for the wound on my back and shoulder. When Sanise suddenly muttered in sleep and put her hand on my breasts, I dropped the blanket blushing and with eyes wide open. As if the heater cuddling up to me was not enough already. I tried to move a little bit until her hand was back on my stomach and took a deep breath with relief.
I tried to meditate a little bit in the hope that I would be able to do it lying down and I succeeded for a few hours. When hunger overwhelmed me, I woke up Sanise and Nimri, whereupon the little one licked happily right through my face and Sanise jumped up overexcited.
»You're awake again« it came joyfully from her »We have hoped and prayed so much. Even to Lolth.« she jumped around the room
»Can you put some clothes on, please?« I asked her.
»Ah, exactly« it was a close call, she picked out my suit and proudly held it in front of her »Look, I fixed it« she grinned broadly
She had sewn the torn line with a red heart-shaped patch which almost upset me.
»You like it? I went to extra effort.«
On the one hand she had rather defaced my suit, on the other hand I owed her a lot at the moment and she tries to get involved. So I just nodded briefly, held up the blanket and tried to sit on the edge of the bed.
»Could you please put some clothes on« I repeated »And why did you sleep in my bed and not in your room?«
»Well, because you weren't well and I didn't want to leave you alone« she said while she slipped into her shorts
»But why couldn't you have just brought your mattress over here?« I said slightly grumpy
»Um« she scratched her head »Right. I should have done that« and turned red. »We should open the window It's getting way too hot in here right now.«

We spent most of the day in the tavern. Sometimes downstairs in the bar to talk, but mostly in our new room, one with 2 beds, where I showed her how to sew and she could change my bandage. It was quite amazing how enthusiastic she was in all this and how fast she learned. She was not even disappointed when I removed the heart patch from my clothes and showed her how to fix it without. However, she insisted that the patch get on something, so I allowed her to sew it on my backpack.

She and Nimri looked after me in an exemplary manner as long as I was this limited mobility. They even brought the food from the tavern up to the room. We lacked nothing in these few square meters. The only thing I found unpleasant was taking a bath. Even though our room had its own bathtub, Sanise always insisted on helping me and taking care of my wounds.
»Such a pity that the beautiful tattoo was destroyed« she regretted, while gently washing my back with a sponge and dabbing the wound.
»I will have it stitched again as soon as the wound has healed« I assured her and put a smile on her face
When I leaned back, I covered my breasts with one arm while Sanise dabbed the wound on my shoulder
»You don't need to hide anything, sweety. I'm a woman too and Nimri is not here right now« she giggled and continued by dabbing »I wish I had a body like yours. You're so beautiful. I bet you have a lot of admirers at the Underdark.«
I looked at her in surprise, but only shook my head slightly
»That's a very, very pity« it came from her, before she gave me a kiss on my forehead and dropped the sponge into the water
»I think you want to do the rest on your own« she smiled happily »When you're dried, I'll put a fresh bandage on you«
»Who actually showed you that with the bandage?« I asked her with interest
»Don't worry, no one has seen you naked except me« she laughed. »A cute boy in a pharmacy showed me the bandage on a mannequin.« she assured me and disappeared from the bathroom.
