I wake as a light drizzle of rain is starting to fall. From the looks of the clouds, it's going to be pouring in a bit. I feel a lot better now, but I'm not fully recovered yet. I check my status.

*Status: Concussed (Normal)*

Ugh, it's still Normal? I guess it's a serious condition if it takes this long to go away on its own. I prepare mentally for any pain, and try to use Hidden Space. My goal would be to retrieve the Octopus Cloth so the Huldr could get some clothes on her. I thrust my hand into the air before retracting it.

Success! Although my headache's started up again, I now have the Octopus Cloth in my claws! I gently lift the wing that the Huldr is laying beneath and slip her the cloth. She stirs and wakes, looking slightly confused at my offering. "Put on. Imagine clothes." I instruct simply via Telepathy.

My headache intensifies. Seems using Skills makes it worse. She takes the cloth, wraps herself in it and closes her eyes for a moment. When she opens them, the cloth has taken on the form of an ankle length skirt made of thick black wool cloth, a red blouse and a white apron. I get up, keeping my wing over her so as not to let the rain get onto her, so she can get up as well.

She inspects the clothing. Nodding in satisfaction, she moves to hug my neck. "I see you managed to get some clothes onto her." Mervik spooks us as he approaches from the camp. I guess he was late guard? The Huldr lays her ears flat and runs to my other side, peeking out at him with a distrustful look.

"What is she though?" He leans to the side to get a better look at her without coming closer. I try to tell him, but attempting Telepathy makes the world spin. "Hey now, take it easy!" Mervik calls out as I stumble. 

Suddenly, my headache clears. 

*Status Cleared!*

Eh? What happened? I regain my footing, looking around for the source of the heal. My eyes fall upon the Huldr. Did she? I reach out to her, effortlessly, "Did you heal me?" She nods with a smile. I guess she must know at least one language since Telepathy works on her. I inspect her.

- Compassionate

She has basic Common comprehension at least. Her Stats seem low though, is it because she is new-born? 

*Her Stats reflect the minimum Core Stats needed for Evolution into her species. As she came into this world as a Huldr, she does not retain any Skills or Spells her previous Evolutions would have gained.*
