>"Wait," said the creature.
>"How would you even help me?" it asked.
>"As of now I'd need to learn more about your situation to even begin to search for solutions. Each case is different to my knowledge, so there is no one-size-fits-all solution. But you >can trust me in the fact that you aren't my first encounter with the likes of you," you said.
>"If you can help me, then I'll come with you," said the creature in a defeated tone.
>As the two of you entered the house, you instinctively turned on the lights.
>"Please turn those off," said the noivern while covering its eyes with its wing.
>"Oh, sorry, my bad," you said while turning the lights back off.
>You knew that noiverns were more acclimated to dark environments and that light was making them more timid.
>It was a good thing to know in case.
>You led the Noivern to your kitchen to have a discussion.
>It jumped on a chair to be on the same eye level as you.
>"Tea, coffee, some snacks?" you offered.
>"No thanks," it replied.
>You poured water into the electric tea kettle, turned it on, and sat at the opposite side of the table from the Noivern.
>"So why did you want to escape into the wilds?"
>"Hunger and fear mostly. I had a week's worth of food at my house. Unfortunately, most of it was inedible for me, and the thought of eating those things made me physically recoil. I >ate some fruits, vegetables, and meat, but that wasn't really much. I tried suppressing my hunger with coffee, but that only made me throw up."
>"Didn't you try to contact any friends or family who could have helped you?" You asked.
>"I tried. But I couldn't open my phone because I put it in facial recognition mode and my PC is broken. It doesn't turn on anymore." it answered.
>"Rotten luck, huh?" you replied.
>The kettle turned off, so you went and poured yourself some tea.
>Your eyes jumped to the fruit bowl you had on the counter.
>You considered grabbing one or two pieces of fruit but instead just grabbed the entire thing.
