Nicole woke to the soft glow of dawn filtering through the curtains. The past days had been a whirlwind of pain and recovery, but now she felt stronger, ready to face the world again. Jasper had been attentive, never leaving her side except to ensure the culprit behind her poisoning was dealt with. Today, he had planned a visit to an art gallery in the North Kingdom, a place predominantly inhabited by humans.
Jasper entered the room, his presence commanding as always. "Good morning, my sweet lamb. How do you feel today?"
Nicole smiled weakly. "Better, thanks to you."
He kissed her forehead gently. "I'm glad to hear that. I have something planned for us. I thought a change of scenery might do you some good."
Nicole's curiosity piqued. "What did you have in mind?"
"An art gallery in North Kingdom. It's filled with human art, and I think you'll find it... enlightening," he said with a hint of mystery.
