Belle slept until dawn, when a sudden sound right beside her startled her awake. She sat up quickly and turned to the side, nearly jumping out of the chair when she saw the familiar black cloak and rounded head of Kuhn.
"Oh God, Kuhn! How did you get here?" she exclaimed, a wave of relief washing over her at the sight of someone familiar. Her eyes locked on the creature, who stood silently at her side, watching her with those faint red eyes glowing from within his rounded hood.
Kuhn raised his hand and pointed it in the direction of the window. "Came from there," he rasped with his hoarse voice. "Rohan give me directions to come here and stay with you."
