Continuing Eve's introduction

"Oh, that was quicker than expected. Learn anything useful?" Kara and Eve are now at the counter, with Eve not only standing on a chair to help cut greens, but her hair is now braided along her back instead of the mess it had been.

"A couple things. Nothing really worth sharing." You cover for the captain. "But we're gonna be sticking together till our time is up, just so we can get more used to everything."

Kara turns and raises an eyebrow to the two of you.

"It's the truth, Kara." Camilla walks up and kisses the blond's cheek, causing both of them to blush. "And don't worry Eve, you'll get your chief back soon. What's for lunch, though?"

Finishing the meal with little conversation, the 'three' of you eat up, with Camilla eating far more than the other two. It's weird, tasting with a different tongue, but also enlightening to the flavors that your host enjoys. Before much longer, it's nearly time for you to return to your body, with you and Camilla keeping an eye on the last minute on the timer.

"Are you...sure this is going to work out?" Kara takes 'your' hand, squeezing it.

"Well, according to what my brother's told me about magic, nothing bad should happen, and he should just wake up in his own body." Camilla squeezes back, and you both watch as Eve climbs onto the bed and sits on your body, grabbing your actual hand.

You take a breath as the he seconds tick down. "Well, let's hope that's right. I'd hate for something bad to happen."

"Don't worry about it, Private. I'm not gonna hold it against you. This is as much my idea as it is you-ah!" A pain develops in your head, and Camilla winces in pain.

Your hands go to your head as you 'wake up', inadvertently dragging Eve along. Your headache seems to slowly fade, and you open your eyes, seeing that Camilla is still reeling a bit. "Ah...ow... That hurt... You okay, Cap?" You sit up, swinging your feet over the side of the bed.

"I'll live..." She clutches her head as she backs into the counter. "Fuck, that hurts almost as much as the queen..." She bangs her hand against the wooden surface.

"Ugh, tell me about it..." Silence fills the room as you and Camilla recover, Eve and Kara tending to you, respectively. As the pain fades, you notice your stomach grumble, catching a chuckle from Kara.

"Looks like it was a good idea to make extra." She says, grabbing the leftovers.

"Alright Eve, give it all you've got." You pat her shoulder and stand back. After you'd finished your late lunch, you moved one of the archery targets around to the rear of Camilla's house as she prepped the goblin for a quick stint of shooting arrows.

Eve removes an arrow from the quiver and awkwardly draws the bow fit for a human. She takes a breath, seems to mutter something, and a second later, the target seems to explode. "Is that good, Chief?"

You gulp as you stare wide-eyed at the target as it falls over with a giant hole in the center. Bits of straw glide through the air.

"Chief?"

Your head snaps back to the goblin, her head cocked. "Uh..." You share a look with Camilla. "Yeah, you did great." You step over and pat her head, which seems to make her happy. "Did you use a spell or something? I've never seen a target explode like that!"

"I think so? I was lining up my shot and just...knew how to do it, I guess." She chuckles. "I kinda like this weapon, though. If only they made one my size."

Camilla steps up. "We don't have a bowyer in town, but I'll see what I can do. In the meantime, feel free to practice whenever you're here."

You turn back to the human women. "Thanks Cap. You've been a big help, here. With both of us."

"Hey, I've got two friendly, if a little horny, monsters on my doorstep. I'm not gonna look a gift horse in the mouth, especially if you're willing to help out with the-"

Suddenly, she stops, listening. Only a few moments later, a buzzing zooms by overhead, followed by another, then another.
