Ash came back shortly after Ruby sat down with the spools of spider silk she had requested. She thanked him and immediately stood back up with a groan and got to work mixing the poultice.
It had been a few years since she had any wing injuries but mixing these was a basic survival skill for fairies. She was quite good at it. The only problem was that she couldn't always reach the place she needed to bind up with the spider silk by herself.
This was a two-person job but could she really ask a stranger she had barely met to help her with something as intimate as fixing a wing? Fairies typically didn't show their wings to other races because they were their most vulnerable point.
Could she trust this vampire? She supposed she had some degree of trust in him already because he had helped her out with her aunt and uncle earlier. And she would be staying here for at least a few weeks until she could fly away. That required trust too.
