Dustan had stayed close to her throughout the whole week. He hadn't left her side and when he did it was only to get something to eat for them. That was actually where he was now, he had managed to get a few rabbits for them and was planning on making them a stew. When he heard her groan as he entered he quickly ran over to her, "Gesei?" he asked softly and wondered if she was reallyg waking up.

Gesei moved a little to Dustan's voice though didnt seem to react at first. "D-u-st-st-a-n?" she whimpered some as she moved more and seemed to really be trying hard to wake up though just couldn't seem to right now.

(was he in animal or human form?)

((animal))

dustan looked at her worryed and gently layed a hand on her hand. "I am here gesei, I know you can wake up." he said to her softly and squeezed her hand gently.

Gesei moved a bit again holding onto Dustan's hand and slowly coming to. She groaned a bit and slowly reached up to rube her face some with her other hand. She then noticed that she wasn't holding a human hand and looked at Dustan though there was no fear or worry or any of that in her eyes. "Wh-what happened? Where am I?" she asked quietly genuinely confused since she had never been in Dustan's room before... yeah that would confuse most people.

Dustan smiled when he heard her and saw her eyes open. It was a great thing to see and he was the happiest person in the world right now. "your in my room, I needed you to be safe after almost being eaten." He said as he looked at her.

Gesei listened to him and shivered some remembering how horrible it was being in the dragons stomach. It made her feel physicly sick and it showed when her face had turned a sickly pale that almost had a hint of green in it. She was hungry though she really didn't want to say that... it would make her feel even more sick then she already was and she knew it.

Dustan brought over a bucket when he saw her face. "here, just incase." he said to her softly and there was fruit on a table behind him. "just tell me what you want and I will get it for you." he said as he looked at her and hoped that she would be okay.

"I'm... okay just sick at the thought of what happened..." Gesei murmured softly as she sat the bucket off to the side. "Thank you for coming to get me... I was scared you couldn't hear me..." she said quietly as she looked up at him and smiled some then looked behind him and saw the fruits. Her stomach growled a bit and she blushed some. "Uh.... could you hand me one of the fruits?" she asked softly inclining her head towards the basket.

Dustan nodded and brought the basket over to her, "eat what ever you like, this is all for you." he said as he smiled at her. He wanted to help her in every way he could now. "and I did hear you, tigers have very good hearing and I cuold smell that dragon mixed with yours. So I followed it till I found you and took you back." he said as he looked at her.

Gesei listened to him as she took one of the fruits and started eating then nodded some. "I'm glad.... um.... how long have I been out?" she asked knowing she had been out for awhile though had no clue that she had went into a comma for the last week.

Dustan took one of the fruits himself and started to eat. he hadn't eaten much since she had fallen into her comma and he wanted to keep her safe. "I would have to say that you have been asleep for a week." he said as he looked at her.

"A WEEK?!" Gesei exclaimed surprisedly after taking a bite of an apple and covering her mouth some. She hadn't expected that she ha dbeen out that long so she was shocked to hear that that's how long she had been out.

Dustan nodded and looked at her worryed when she covered her mouth. "are you okay?" he asked as he looked at her and then nodded, "and yes a week. Your body needed to heal itself and I think you fell into a coma." he said as he looked at her and smiled.

"No I'm okay I'm just shocked and I had my mouth full." Gesei said as he asked if she was okay then listened to him and nodded. "So I hadn't woken up at all?" she asked unsure though continued to eat as they spoke since she was very hungry... even though she wasn't trying to think too much on the stomach since she didn't want to get sick.

Dustan shook his head, "sorry but no, you haven't woken up at all. So I have taken care of you and made sure that you haven't gotten any worse and your wounds got better." he said as he looked at her and finished eating his fruit.

Gesei listened to him again nodding some as she thought and continued to eat grabbing another fruit. "Where's Will?" she asked still abliviouse to the fact that Dustan and Will were one and the same.... Just in different forms. She didn't seem scared or worried around Dustan now and that was a very good thing... She might now be able to fully trust him....

Dustan was a little caught off by the question but guessed that she would want to see him. "he is outside collecting some herbs. I think I will go get him and then go hunting. We will need more meat." he said as he stood and headed out of the cave. He then turned into his human form and ran back. When he was back in the room he had to remember that will knew nothing. "thank god, I thought you might not wake up." he said as he walked over and pretended to be out of breath so that she would think he ran back.

Gesei smiled some at Will though there was something off... how could he get in here so fast if Dustan had JUST went out and got him? She had seen where the herb guarden was and it wasn't that close... so how did he get here so fast? "I thought I wouldn't either.... are you okay?" she asked smiling at him some though was still thinking that he couldn't have gotten in there that fast.

dustan smiled at her and nodded, "yeah fine, I just came running over when dustan got me." he said as he looked at her and smiled. He was glad that she was okay, he was the happiest he has been in a long time. "so is ther eanything that you need? I am here to help you in any way." he said as he looked at her

"Um... all I really need is something to drink and maybe another fruit please." Gesei smiled though still felt that there was something off. She had noticed it before and she was noticing it now... Dustan was never around when Will was... what was up with that? She didn't know though she thought it was odd and it was making her a bit suspicious about it.

Dustan nodded and headed over to the fruit and grabbed a few pieces and then got some water. He then walked over and smiled as he held it out to her, "here, if there is anything else please tell me, I would like to know what you would like." he said as he looked at her and smiled.

"Thanks" Gesei smiled and thought some as she drank some of the water and started eating again. The curiosity was killing her so she finally had to ask. "Why do I never see you and Dustan together? I've never once seen you two at the same time and I'm really just curious... didn't you say that you two were close? If you are then how come I never see you together?" she finally asked curiously and really wanted an answer... it was bugging her that she didn't know and that there was something up that she didn't know about now.

Dustan was surprised when he heard her and wasn't to sure what to say. Did she really want to know the reason? Would she freak out and run if he told her. He wasn't to sure but she wanted aanswer so maybe Althea truth was time. "do you really want to know?" he asked as he stood up and looked at her. "if I tell you do you promise not to yell or anything?" he asked since he didn't want her to freak out after everything she had been threw.

"Um... Sure?" Gesei said almost questioningly since she didn't see wy he would ask that... Why would she freak like that? She hadn't done that since the day he killed one of the men from the vilage... So why would she freak?

DustN sighed and slowly his body began to shift to his tiger form. His body grew the white gleaming fur and his ears turned to that of a tiger. Once it was done he looked at her, "we are one in the same. I am distance and will, just two different sides or should I say forms of me." he said as he looked at her.
