"Nothing… my neck just hurts a bit, that is all" said Wura as she smiled and she lied, she wondered if this was working, oh how much she cursed that she did not know what to do, she had never had to seduce anyone before, and before you could say anything bad that she was crazy, she would remind you that Liam was her husband, and it would be no sin to seduce him, she just needed to find a way to actually seduce.
"I see" said Liam as he wondered if that was so, she was just behaving very strangely, ever since she returned from speaking with Darla, he wondered what they actually spoke about.
"Yes Liam" said Wura as she smiled at him and she called his name, she could tell that her attempt of trying to seduce him was not working at all, he was looking at her rather strangely.
"Lily, are you sure that you are alright?" asked Liam once more, he was starting to get a bit worried with her strange behaviour, she never acted like this before, even though he did not know her well.
"Yes, I am perfectly fine, I am just still a bit cold" said Wura as she chuckled lightly, she was trying to think of a way to get closer to Liam without seeming pushy, or on purpose, she wanted it to seem like it happened naturally, by accident by coincidence.
But she was having a tough time thinking of a way to do that, and it was annoying, she hated that she was not good at this at all, which made her wonder if Darla was blind to accuse her of trying to seduce Liam, which she clearly was not doing at all prior to this moment that Darla put the idea in her head.
It was so hard, so hard to try to seduce him, so far, Liam did not look like he was seduced at all, but rather that he was worried for her, which was not the reaction that she was going for at all.
"My lady, I warmed some soup for you" said Nora as she had been making Wura dinner as Zuph made her another fire for her to be able to cook with.
"Umm I…" said Wura as she was about to reject it, she was not hungry at all, she was focused on the task on hand which was trying to seduce Liam, or at least try to get him to see her in another light.
"My lady, it is nice and hot, it will warm you up, please do not refuse it" said Nora as she begged Wura, she knew what she was about to say, and it would be that she was not hungry at all, which Nora found very worrying, Wura had not been eating well at all.
"Nora, I do understand what you are trying to say, but I am not hungry" said Wura as Nora pleaded with her with her big eyes as Wura sighed and she reluctantly took the bowl from Nora.
"Fine Nora, fine" said Wura as she sighed.
"Thank you my lady" said Nora as she smiled in relief and she walked away as she really hoped that Wura would at least eat a bit more than usual.
Wura sighed as she brought the bowl to her lips as she inhaled the smell of the soup, Nora was right, it was hot and inviting.
Wura took a little sip as she really did not want to force herself, she had lost her appetite for a long time now, she had thought that maybe she would have gone back usual and her appetite would return once she found Liam.
But that was not so at all, if anything it had become worse, maybe it was due to the stress that she was feeling because Liam could not remember her, but it was clear to see that food, and eating were the last things on her mind right now.
"Lily, can I ask you a question?" asked Liam as he looked at Wura.
"Well my father always said that the best way to get an answer to your question Is to ask the question" said Wura as she laughed and Liam laughed as well.
"I do agree with your father" said Liam as he laughed.
"Yes, so you can ask me a question" said Wura as she smiled.
"I noticed that you do not like to eat… why is that?" asked Liam as Wura looked at him.
"Ahh…" said Wura as she was surprised, she did not think that he had noticed, she did not know that he was noticing her, but regardless, she did not know what to tell him, could she say that she did not have an appetite due to all the stress she had him not being able to remember her.
"Well I just do not have an appetite, that is all" replied Wura casually.
"And why Is that?" asked Liam.
"Many reasons, due to many reasons, stress, sadness… more" said Wura as she replied and she sighed, and Liam did not have to ask what she was stressed about, It was clear that it had something to do with her husband, she must have missed him, and he did not want to cause her any more pain by asking her about it.
"I do understand that, but you also need to eat Lily, so you do not get sick" said Liam.
"Oh…" said Wura as she was trying to stop her heart from beating anymore, she was touched that he worried about her, that he actually still cared about her, she was stopping herself from hugging him, or trying to touch him.
"Yes, even though we are stressed and worried for our loved ones, it does not mean that we should damage ourselves as well, we need to remain strong… if not for us then for them" said Liam.
"I guess that you are right…" said Wura as she sighed deeply, here he was, here her husband was, telling her not to worry, while he was the one she was worrying about.
"Thank you Liam" said Wura as she smiled.
"You do not need to thank me" said Liam as he smiled and Wura took another sip of her stew.
"Do you want to taste?" asked Wura as she asked Liam and she looked at him.
"Why not?" asked Liam as he smiled and Wura handed him the bowl as he took a sip from it.
"It tastes good" said Liam as he smiled and he handed the bowl back to Wura as she agreed with him, she was feeling warm already, Nora was a very good cook.
"It really does" said Wura as she smiled.
"Here" said Nora as she handed Mero, Elihu and Zuph a bowl of soup as Zuph and Elihu thanked her, while Mero had his attention elsewhere, he was looking at Liam and Wura, honestly, he was getting worried, this was taking such a long time.
"Here, do you want some soup?" asked Nora as she handed a bowl to Malcom and another to Dothan.
"This is for us?" asked Dothan in surprise.
"Of course it is" said Nora as she smiled.
"Thank you Nora" said Dothan as he smiled.
"Thank you" said Malcom as he smiled.
"You are welcome" said Nora as she smiled, and she sighed, she looked at Wura who was smiling as she was speaking to Liam, that made her smile, Wura was only truly happy when she was with Liam.
"Darla, do you want some soup?" asked Nora as she smiled and she looked at Darla as she held a bowl of soup in her hands.
"Did I ask you for soup?" asked Darla in anger as Nora shook her head and Darla growled, she was furious, very furious, that Wura was no human, she was a witch, a real witch.
"Do you want soup or not?" asked Nora.
"No, I do not want that stupid soup of yours, go away" said Darla as she snarled and Nora walked away, she did not want to be at the receiving end of Darla's anger, she did not like the woman at all.
"Nora, please do not be offended with Darla's attitude, she is like that sometimes, but not all the time, she does not really mean it, she is just angry" said Dothan as he apologized on the behalf of his sister.
"That is fine Dothan, I am not offended at all" said Nora as if Darla was not eating, then it meant that there would be more soup for all of them.
Nora just wondered why Darla was always so angry, and furious, and bitter, she did not get it at all, she could tell that she had something against her lady, which she did not like at all, she only hoped that she would not do anything to harm Wura.
