To say that I was surprised when I woke up in the woods would be a lie, and to say that when I looked at myself and only saw some ragged and rusty armor which I couldn't take off, that I wasn't freaking out would also be a lie, but after running around in the woods tripping and falling all over I eventually accepted my situation, especially as when my helmet felled off my vision went with it and lets just say that sudden blindness is more of a worrying thing, so after stumbling around for a bit I found my dented and rusted helmet and put it back on, giving me my sight again.
After that fiasco I decided I wouldn't try to take off anymore of my armor, who the hell knows what would happen if I took off a gauntlet.
Standing there for a bit I looked around, letting me have some time to just calm down and process everything, but everything about myself came up as a blank, my name, who I am, what I was before, all of it was a blank and with that came a longer amount of time huddle up in a fetal position trying not to panic or freak out.
Eventually as time went by and the weather change into a light but calming rain, I to calmed down, was my panic over everything gone, no, no way in hell it wasn't but I was calmed enough to try to figure out where I am and hopefully that'll distract myself from all of these emotions.
Standing up my whole body creaked and groaned but besides the horrendous noise from the suit I was fine, not wanting to give myself the time to think I just started walking foward, moving around trees and other big enough objects.
This continued for a bit and the threat of reliving the panic and anxiety from started to come back but was halted as the woods suddenly stop, the grassland which border the woods surrounded a small humble looking cottage, it looked cozy just from first look, with a few features like a garden, a small outdoor shrine of sorts and two little outdoor chairs.
Spending a moment just looking at the lovely place I take a step forward and head towards it, with each step I begin to hear the sound of voices which get louder with every step afterwards, until it nearly becomes clear of what there saying.
" momma, can we go to town and get some treats" was spoken from a young voice which in return was answered by a lovely but stern voice " now look here, if you keep on asking me that every day I'm gonna tan your hide, we ain't gonna be going to town for awhile while that stupid lord is hanging about, now g-" the voice stops as a loud creak from my armor is made from me shifting, there's silence for a long moment until that lovely voice calls out " who's out there!".
Freaked out a bit from the situation I've put myself into I let out a sqeak before coughing in embarrassment " I- I am ... I honestly don't know who I am ... woke up in the woods and walked around until I found this place ... sorry for disturbing you and whoever else is with you ... I can leave you alone, could you just point me towards wherever the town you talked about is?".
After that explanation I waited for a second to hear a response but all I hear was a bunch of shuffling and movement until the door open and I look down to see a short lady, with a even shorter child with her, both hastily dressed in there clothes it seems, she creaks her neck up to look at me " well aren't you a sight for sore eyes she says with a chuckle".
I don't know if that was a insult or a joke but I just nervously give a thumbs up trying my best to focus on her eyes as her frame while stout, was strong and curved in all the right places for a deadly mixture, but I flinch as she grabs my hand and inspects it " by god! Look how shoddy your armor is! Have you even tried to maintain it! You should be ashamed of yourself! Especially to show this to a dwarven gal, just looking at this is driving me mad" she then looks at her daughter most likely and gestures for her to grab something and before I can say anything the child is back and hands it to the lady.
" now let me apply this to your armor before we go, can't in good faith let you mistreat your armor like that and be able to look my god in the eyes can I, now lean down for me" and before I could process and follow her request she pulls me down falling into the house while she and the child start rubbing a ointment on me, I can't help but giggle and laugh into the day as the child joins in gleefully and the lady loudly but not seriously yells at me.
