Seenah sat at her usual table at the Pig and Whistle. It was “their” table once, but she shares it now with her new companion. It was a quiet night, just what she needed after weeks of battling scourge all over Northrend. It was work she would never have foreseen herself doing. She looked briefly at her hands. Her parents would be so ashamed. She had “commoner’s” hands. A bit rough, nails beaten and cracked both by hard work and a bad nail biting habit. They’d definitely chastise her for such an offense. That is, if they knew she was alive.
Her companion broke through her dark thoughts by tugging on her hand gently. A smile brightened Seenah’s face, immediately changing her entire outward appearance. “Oh Sam” she said, “at least we know ours is an unconditional love right?” as she fed him a bite of her dinner.
A voice broke the quiet.
“HOW on earth can you love that…that…MONSTER??”
Seenah sighed, and grinned at the stranger.
“I might have asked the same once, when I was young and naive like you. Sit with me, and I shall tell you how I’ve come to love this…as you called him, monster”
