Amara listened quietly as Sokoya spoke, her mind filling with the information. *Maybe we really aren't that different* she thought before she watched Sokoya move to Orion's side. She gave a polite nod to the male before she watched the slime cube with interest. When he asked if there was anything they needed to talk about, she looked back up at Orion. "During my training today, I felt wonderful using a bow. I was curious if I could have a branch, or a few, brought to my room for me to make my own. And maybe a paper and ink so I may write down about each creature here to understand them better." She looked at her feet for a moment. "I don't blame you if you do not want me to have any of those things yet and will not hold it against you."

"Branches to make a bow and some paper and ink to write down information about the monsters that live down here... that's not an unreasonable request." He walked over to a table that sat beside his throne and penned the request on a scrap of paper before handing it to Sokoya, and she left without a word, sending the request to the lizardmen to get the materials. "I'm sure that the lizardmen should be able to get the materials soon enough for you. In the meantime I can give you some paper and ink from my room since I don't write much to begin with." He walked over to his room and got a few pieces of paper and ink and placed it in her room before quickly leaving. "Is that it or is there something else?"

Amara smiled a bit, grateful to Orion when he agreed to the few things she asked. "Thank you. I am grateful to you and well, everyone for that." She gave a polite nod. "I can't think of anything else" she replied. While she did want to go out and feel the wind on her face, she wasn't going to ask that, at least not yet. It was clear she wasn't fully trusted still, and she still had to prove she wasn't going to have any bad intentions, and she truly didn't. She was starting to enjoy it here, and she wouldn't lie about that.

"Very well. If there's nothing else you can head to your room if you want to." Orion said, before dismissing the slime monster and returning to his throne. Wordlessly the cube of slime hopped away, leaving small splotches of slime as it left. As he sat on the throne, his mind began to wander about himself and Amara. She has proven to be trustworthy so far... she will make an excellent addition to the dungeon after all but... He silenty tapped his fingers on the armrests of the throne as his mind began to properly churn. Will she become a proper second in command for me? Her powers do have potential, but can she cultivate them into something extraordinary? He closed his eyes and leaned back against the throne, now lost in his thoughts.

Amara nodded as she made her way to her room. She gave a small sigh as she sat on the bed, slowly writing down the names of a few cretures, basic descriptions, along with how they seemed to act. To someone who didnt know Amara was basically harmless, it might look like she was trying to find ways to kill them all, but she was far from wanting to do that. After putting down a few names of the creatures, she wrote down Orion's name and tilted her head a bit. She knew he wore a made, and his hand, looked human, as did his height, but Amara knew that didnt mean much and just put a question mark by his name. Not long after, a thought crossed Amara's mind, one she hadnt had in a long time. She looked down at her hands after she put the paper down on her night stand. Sure, there were plenty of creatures there, but none that like humans for one, and she was sure they all hated her for another reason. She began to wonder if she would be able to find someone, and even be able to have a family in the dungeon. *Would that even be possible* she thought. her mind screamed no to her, bringing tears to her eyes as she laid her head on her pillow.

After taking a few minutes to think about Amara, Orion sat up from his throne and retired to his room, locking the door behind him and sitting in front of the mirror once again, taking off his mask and looking at himself in the mirror. Sure the lizardmen would be more willing to accept Amara, but how are the rest of the monsters going to think once the word has properly spread around that I took in a human? He knew that this quesiton was going to be answered one way or the other, but at the end of the day he needed to show to the rest that he was strong through a show of force rather than the use of it, because if he had to use force, then it could spiral quickly out of control.

Amara calmed herself down after short while and sighed. While the chance of her having a family was now practically zero, Amara had to remind herself that she was alive, and already feeling more useful than she had in a long time. *Get yourself together* she thought as she sat up, wiping away her tears. Taking a deep breath she was now calm before she glanced around her room. There still wasnt much to it, but eventually she thought of trying to have a small closet with a few outfits rather than the one she was forced to wear by Zane.

Orion's mind continued to race, but he had to take a deep breath and lie down on the bed to try to wind down. Sokoya always told him that he overthought important matters for the good of the dungeon, but maybe that was a good thing at times, but right now it wasn't a good thing. It was a really precarious balancing act that he had to perform to run the dungeon, but with this, it could throw it all out of whack. But that was the future, and now he needed to get some sleep after having to wrangle a giant cube of slime and constantly worry about Amara's well being.

Amara walked towards the door, wanting to walk around, but she stopped herself. She knew it might still be too dangerous for her to go out there. With a small sigh she looked down and walked back over to her bed before she laid down. Closing her eyes she felt sleep slowly wash over her, but it started to give her nightmares as she dreamed of the dangers that possibly surrounded her by the creatures that lived in the dungeons. It caused her to toss and turn along with grumble and groan, sweating as she tossed herself around.

It was the next morning, and Orion had woken up early, or maybe he just hadn't slept long enough. Either way, he was still slightly tired from yesterday's events. Now that it was the fourth day of Amara being in the dungeon, his nerves in regards to her well being was receding gradually, but today would prove to be important for her future here. As soon as he walked out of his room and towards the throne he was met by a small congregation of monsters. Oh crap. This doesn't look very good. He made his way to the throne, where Sokoya was already on guard before addressing the group. "So... what's the reason for you to need me?" Orion said to the group, showing that air of confidence that he always carried within the dungeon. A pair of werewolves stepped forward upon his talk; apparently they were the representatives of the group. Werewolves were naturally vicious, not only in movement and behaviour, but also in mindset, making them dangerous in more ways than one. "We heard tell of you sparing a human and taking her under your wing... have you lost your mind?!" One of the werewolves said, her voice mixed with confusion and rage. "If the humans hear that the dungeon is holding one of them, they'll send more to try to rescue her! Kill her now!"
