So I'm from another world, huh?

The Duchess awoke to Volf's nudging. She had been asleep for several hours, curled up on her favorite chair. "Let me sleep, Volf," she moaned. "I have nothing to live for."

Volf kept nudging and finally took her hand in his mouth and gently let his teeth brush her skin.

"Volf!" The Duchess sat up, "No, no, baaadddd boy!" Looking crossly at Volf for only a moment, she slumped back to her sleeping position.

"Oh well, you might as well eat me. Look, I even made myself fatter just for your dining pleasure," she muttered as she detangled a sticky piece of chocolate from her hair and popped it into her mouth.

Volf nudged her and looked toward the screen.

Finally, the Duchess looked up and saw Ryan flying through the woods, nearing the cave.

"Ryan!" she gasped. "Ryan, did you find her?"

'Why was Ryan smearing stuff everywhere? Yuck, what were all those bones doing there?'
