Olivia walked in and started cutting up the steak. she looked around for seasonings and vegetable. she cut them up and added it to the meat, stirring the pot and tasting the stew.

“What are you doing?” Aeron asked slumping down on the couch.

Olivia ignored him and started humming. Once the stew was done, she tasted it again then put some in a large bowl, "Here, eat this." she said bringing the steaming bowl to him

Aeron took it warily, taking a few bites, “It’s good, thanks…” He said finishing the bowl, “You didn’t have to do that.”

"It's the least i can do for what you did for my family." she put her cloak back on "I need to go find an inn to stay at, I thank you and take my leave." she put her hood up and turned to the door He is much nicer than Father said they are

“Wait,” Oh god, Aeron way are you considering this “Do you… do you want to stay here? Saves you travelling in the dark…” He said, trying not to sound awkward.

"A-are you sure?" she asked awkwardly "I have already caused you much trouble, It's fine." she aid and faces the door once again
(should this be like the beauty and the beast ish part?)

“No, stay.” He sad, more firmly this time.
(What do u mean?)

"Ok, if you insist." she took of her cloak and hung it on the nearby hooks. she looked around "May I?" she asked gesturing to the telescope.
(I mean like how is the romance part being added? I kinda thought of it like Him not allowing her to leave, making an excuse that she has to pay off the coins she borrowed which leads to her falling for him? it's an idea lol you don't have to accept it :D)

(No, I like it :) )
Aeron nodded and stayed silent for a while before saying, “Olivia, I’m sorry but you can’t leave. Not until you’ve paid me back.”

"Wait, what? But you said i can have them!" she exclaimed stopping on her journey to the telescope

“Everything in this world comes with a price. Nothing is free.” He didn’t look at her.

Olivia turned away from him as tears fell down her face "Where can I rest?" she asked in a cold voice

“There’s a room in the back.” He waved in the direction casually.

Olivia nods and walks there. she shuts the door and leans against it crying, "Father was right, I never should have come here. He was right in slapping me." she tried to muffle her sobs

Aeron rubbed his hands over his face. You had too. You had too keep her here so you can keep living. Once she had paid the money back, she can leave. You’re not harsh, like the stories. You’re not like the stories Aeron kept reminding himself he isn’t like the stories of a dangerous monster. He was doing what he needed to do. He wasn’t a monster but he couldn’t make himself believe it.

Olivia woke up and stretched. she looked around where am I? Suddenly all the memories of last night came rushing back. she kept a hard face and exited the room, going into the kitchen to make some tea. Once the tea finished boiling, she added milk and sugar to it then sat on the window sill smiling softly as she watched 2 birds fight over a crumb of bread.

Aeron had been out early that morning, hunting down a group of men that had gotten to close to the cabin that night. He’d sustain quite a few injuries: A few broken ribs, wrist, cuts and bruises. His wings had a few slashes down each one and when he landed they dropped to the ground. He had no energy to hold them up.

Olivia looked up at a thump and saw Aeron all scratched up she gasped then made her face hard. she walked around looking for medical supplies

Aeron couldn’t go inside. He physically didn’t have the strength to walk up to the door. No energy to make his wings disappear, not even enough to send a shadow to receive medical supplies. So he collapsed on the grass, still wet with mildew.

Olivia found some supplies and brought them outside. She started putting the medicine on Aeron's wounds then bandaged them up. once she finished, she got up and put everything back in the bag and started for the house
