Staring at the girl infront of him, Mikhail's heart basically leapt to his throat as the he digests the sight infront of him. Smoke wafts through the air and the smell of burnt chicken fills his nose. The girl who seemingly from the start looked like she fell from her nest, actually fell from somewhere much higher, the tree branches must have broke her fall and ended up breaking in the process. Apart from that her right wing is smoking and has most of it's feather's singed off.

While processing his thoughts the only words that came to his mouth were "Are you alright?!"

The girl replies with a curt nod before trying to move from her current state, to no avail as a sharp gasp of pain comes from her. Surprised by this, Mikhail's train of thought suddenly stops and he focuses  on trying to wright the girl infront of him. Upon closer inspection she seems to be fine, no broken bones only minor scrapes and bruises on where the wood must have hit her. Gingerly Mikhail carries the girl to his shack, thankful that the girl is not too heavy. Placing the girl on his wooden reclyner he begins to fiddle around his instruments and rummaging through his herb bag. While looking around frenetically around his workshop he notices the girl scratching a red knot on her neck. Stopping on what he is doing he scratches the knot and upon closer inspection the knots has arcane runes on it, reading the runes Mikhail notices that is a noise cancelling spell. But why would she have this around her neck? Mikhail wondered. Without second thoughts Mikhail untied the knot from the girl's neck and almost immediately the sweetest voice Mikhail had ever heard fills the room.

"Thank you!! Thank-" The girl's thanks is stopped by her wince of pain.

"...Please calm yourself..." Mikhail mumbles, maybe taking off the rune was not the best idea.

Shaking his head he returns to rummaging and flipping to the pages of his grimoire of potion recipes.

"Birch sap...essesnce of li....*mumble*"

"What are you doing?" a sweet voice interrupts

"Making a concotion for your wounds...it should take me a bit to finish, until thenI beseech you to stay put.""

"Hmmm, grumpy aren't we? do you want me to sing a song?" The siren happily chirps much to Mikhail's annoyance

"Start singing and I'll retie the rune around your neck" comes Mikhail's irritated response.

"Awww your no fun"

"...."

"Anyways why are you alone here? it doesn't feel right at all?"

"...."

"And what's with the the stacks of books, there so many"

"....Please stay silent..And what's wrong in wanting a little peace and quiet?"

"I don't know how that feels honestly backhome me and my sisters are always singing lovely music"

"...Then the sooner I finish this potion the sooner you can get home...it sounds like your missing out"

"I can always start singing~"

Mikhail glares at the siren sitting in his reclyner, he is cleary going to hassle his pace or else he'll be stuck with a squawking lout for the rest of his precious reading time. Thinking about it where did se come from, and how did a siren get this deep into the forest.

"Hey..miss..erm..."

"Azul, my name's Azul"

"...Yeah..anyways what are you doing this deep in the forest didn't siren's reside near the coast?"

"Well, I deliver items as a job in one of the shops near the docks. I got sent here by the shopkeep to retrieve several potions from a Mr. Mi-mihal..?"

"Mik-ha-il, and that's me. What happend to the usual harpy they send here?"

"Oh, Gracey? She's busy incubating her eggs?"

"...Alright...then how did you get your wings burned?"

"Welp long story short, I ran into the Order and one of the mages managed to get me with their firebolts"

Looking over his shoulder Mikhail could see her wince as she recalls those certain events. For the next couple of hours or so later Mikhail managed to finish the potion. Pouring the contents of the pot to a bottle, he turns to Azul who surprisingly is still wide awake, unlike him who is on the verge on sleep. Rubbing his eyes he yawns and hands the bottle to the girl, who stares at him.

" I have no hands remember?" She gestures while raising her right wing.

Sighing in annoyance Mikhail helps Azul drink the potion. After finishing the potion Azul stands immidiately

"It tasted oddly sweet and energizing I feel stronger already, what did you put in it?"

"...A lot of the in-*yawn*gredients are items with high nutritional value and*yawn"

Azul looks at Mikhail with a smiling expression.

"Do you wanna sleep?"

"...uhuh..."

"Let me sing you a lullaby then-" without even finishing her sentence Mikhail settles on the recliner and begins to sleep. Azul looks at his sleeping form and smiles.

"Maybe later then" she says in a bare whisper as she sits on his lap and rest her head on his chest. " Maybe the song will have much better effect when your wide awake"
