She let him out

Elsie had not had to use or think about her surname for years. She felt the man thrashing around in her belly as this information stunned her. She used her magic to force the man up and out of her throat. She looked the man over as he got up and wiped the saliva off his face and hands. He looked vaguely familiar.

“What was…Oh you’re naked!” he began to ask before turning his back to her naked body. “Why are you naked? Where was I? What’s going on?”

“You are trespassing in my forest. You were in my stomach. I outgrew my clothes years ago. I am Elsie Acorn.” She explained in rapid-fire style, feeding off the nervous energy.

“Wait what!” the man gasped. “What do you mean, I was in your stomach?” He was still facing away from her, which was ok for her.

“I used magic to trap you in my stomach. If you had not mentioned my name, I would be digesting you right now.” She explained. Brooke taught her that cannibalism was against human laws but very common in nature. She abided by the laws of nature, even if she used magic to bend them. This hadn’t been the first time a trespasser had ended up in her stomach, but the first one to not come out the “natural way”.

“I am going to just ignore the fact you said that and move on. Take my coat, cover up then we can talk.” He replied as he took off his long brown coat and handed it back to her.

Elsie took the coat, it smelled of the acrid smoke that she had tasted on his body. She put the coat on. She also picked up a smell of something fruity. A scent that unlocked a memory in her. Her dad had always used this particular brand of deodorant. She looked over the man more closely and in more detail. He turned around to see her with the coat on.
