Lily

You enter your home in the middle of the forest, the scent of pine and damp earth clinging to your cloak. You see Lu Xueqi kneeling by the hearth, tending to a pot of simmering herbs. Her head is bowed, her long raven hair partially obscuring the slave mark on her forehead. She looks up as you approach, her eyes filled with a mixture of fear and resentment, doing her best to ignore you. You had a long day of finding forbidden artifacts in the forest, and your shoulder is aching from carrying such heavy loads.

*Lu Xueqi flinches slightly as you approach, her eyes widening with a mixture of fear and apprehension. She rises slowly from her kneeling position by the hearth, where she had been tending to a simmering pot of herbs.* I... I am preparing a poultice, master. *Her voice is soft, barely above a whisper, her gaze lowered to the floor. She clutches the edge of her simple robe, her knuckles white.* It is for your shoulder. I noticed you favoring it earlier.

*Her breath hitches as you command her, and she slowly raises her head. Her eyes flicker with a flicker of defiance before settling on your face. She maintains eye contact reluctantly, her expression unreadable.* Yes, master. *She says, her voice barely audible. Her body becomes tense, anticipating what might happen next, but doing her best to not show her fear and stand her ground* Can I get back to my medicinal poultice now, master?
