Down the path from the village center where most of the businesses are, close to the forest and the mountains, lied an older farm, for years it was abandoned until one day Toovir decided to make it his home. It has a planting field and a house...
The Fields
Currently the fields are bare, though if Toovir has his way about it, that will soon change for the better.
The Home
The outside of the house is made of solid oak, and not painted, showing a rather nice 'log cabin' type appearance to it, the roof is the same, though it is painted a dark red, and to boot a large stone chimney comes out of the roof, though no smoke comes out... There is a small wooden door of course, and three windows, two for the living room and one for the bedroom...
The Living Room
Quite cozy really, if you like open space, there's a small coffee table, and a brown leather couch, both of them are nestled neatly in front of the stone fireplace, which has a pile of timber logs next to it.
The Bedroom
In the bedroom is a small one-person wooden bed, a small white wool blanket, and fluffy feather pillow. Aside from that there is a vanity dresser with mirror and drawers to store clothing.
The Bathroom
Really basic, the floor has white tile, the toilet is white, just as the sink is too. There is a stand-up shower with glass door, as said, the bathroom is really simple.

Toovir had finally escaped from the prison of his old life, now on the run he searched desperately for a place to stay, after passing past the forest and the mountains, the first place he found, was this old, almost abandoned looking farm, though he was positive nobody had followed him all the way down here, there was still a chance, and he would rather risk an encounter with strangers then facing off against his past life... Quickly he ran to the front door of the house, now panting heavily, and knocked on the front door, only to find it swing open wide, he peered inside and saw no lights on, nobody around, in fact, now it seemed rather creepy, though he still stepped one foot inside...
"H... Hello? Anyone inside here?"
He waited for a few moments, and realized nobody was replying, was they simply out or what? It didn't matter, Toovir needed to hide and quickly! He ducked inside the house now shutting the door behind him, and taking a seat on the couch, panting heavily to catch his breath.
If the owners come around, I'll just think of something... But this is a good place to hide for now...

As Keket continued her midnight walk, she came upon a very old looking house with an unkempt filed. Just how many places like this were there in this town? She was beginning to wonder if she had stumbled onto a ghost town.
"Maybe I should leave soon. There just doesn't seem to be a lot here..." Keket sighed as she continued to wonder through the farm.

Toovir had finally caught his breath, and had thought he finally evaded the prison farm that he had grown to loath... Then, through the night, a high pitched howl came forth through the night, and it was all to familiar to him... The pitch, the tone, it was the farms guard wolf... Had he tracked Toovir all the way down here, of course he would... But... Toovir wasn't ready to go without a fight, he looked around the house quickly and found a cheap gardening hoe, not thinking twice he took it, and opened the front door, facing towards the planting fields, where he found some girl walking through the moonlight.
Not the best time for a moonlight stroll...
Though his attention from her was broken as he was quickly tackled from the side, the wolf had been behind the house, and gotten the first strike, from the surprise Toovir had no time to guard himself, and took a deep bite from the wolf into his right arm, though he quickly beat it off, and to the side with the tool in hand. Though it wasn't a actual weapon, it was better then nothing...

Keket was a little surprised to see a wolf all the way in town. Was the situation so bad here that a creature of this size needed to leave the forest?! Regardless of the reason, the young man she saw before her wasn't going to get far with farming equipment. Keket quickly unsheathed her sword and made a swift strike at the wolf before he prepared for another attack.
"Zhum? What is going on out here? Can't I get any--MOTHER OF--!" Sokkwi screamed as his words were cut short when the blade made contact with its target.

The wolf ripped off a bloody piece of Toovir's clothing as he flinched in sever pain from the strike of the sword, it jumped off the of young man and fled off into the night from that point, back from where it came from originally... Toovir now lay there on the ground, panting and holding his arm in pain, the cheap hoe on the ground beside him... He was in a bit of shock now, trying to register everything that just happened, and take in everything around him, and something else was on his mind as well...

"And you wonder why I don't like you?! You didn't even give me a warning! Sometimes it hurts you know!" Sokkwi yelled as he was put away and soft muffling could be heard coming from the scabbard.
"Your a crazy fellow. I haven't seen many men bold enough to try to take on a monster without a substantial weapon. Then again...running would have been out of the question with such a creature." Keket said as she looked down at the young man and offered her hand to him. Would he even be able to stand at this point? He looked like he was near the point of fainting.

Toovir just took her hand with a nod and rose to his feet, picking up the cheap hoe from the ground as he stood. He was still in somewhat of a daze as he just looked to her, then off to the direction of the wolf.
"Yeah..."
He was still panting heavily, and to boot, he never really talked to people before... He was a slave most of his live, and his voice was discouraged, sometimes he would even be whipped or beaten for speaking out, other then a few simple words...

"I know your probably tired, but do you know if there were more of those wolves around? We can't risk an entire pack trying to enter this place." Keket said as she tried to scan the nearby area a bit. So far it seemed just as peaceful and quit as before. That wolf seemed quit odd though. Was it even wild? She looked back to the young man an grew a little worried for a second. Both because of the wolf and the fact the person looked worse than before.

Toovir continued gazing out towards the direction of the wolf now, he was long gone but he still looked long and hard, it was true, the rich family cared nothing for monsters, or for their workers... In fact, that was the only guard wolf they had, the rest had... Well... Everything needs food to survive... He couldn't say much but knew enough to at least give a reply to his savior.
"No... I'm sure it was... Just him..."
He said this as the pain of his right arm came back into mind, causing him to grab it and flinch a bit from the pain. Though the wound was very painful, to Toovir not much could be felt, being normally whipped and beat on a daily basis had given him a harder skin them most average people.

Keket nodded and heaved a sigh of relief. At this moment, even her personality seemed a bit more relaxed. It was hard to not seem a bit aggressive and serious while trying to stand ready for another monster battle. She shook her head as she noticed the man grab his arm in pain.
"You should probably get something for that. Hmm...I may still have some cloth in my bag, ah here it is." Keket whispered as she pulled out a very small cheap cloth from her bag. She looked around and noticed a medicinal herb in the overgrown farm land. She picked it up and tried to apply as much as she could to the bandage. Unfortunately there was little she could put on there without a proper mixing pharmacy utensil. On top of that, she was never too great with pharmacy. She only knew barely enough to try and heal monster wounds. She walked back over to the young man and tried to tie the cloth around his wound.
"I'm Keket by the way. I'm a bit new here so I was wondering if there was anything you could tell me about this place?" Keket questioned. Once again, her mind was on nothing but learning or training.

Toovir could only feel helpless as this woman tended to him, even from an early age the only person that looked out for Toovir was himself, he just... Wasn't used to this, and found it kind of odd really...
"Sorry mam... I can not..."
As she finished up the bandaging his arm felt slightly better, it still of course needed to heal completely, though he looked to her now, a rather confused look on his face.
"Why... Are you helping me..."

"Force of habit I guess. The point of a hunter is to protect and keep monsters from over populating. You don't seem to bad of a person anyway. In fact, I feel a little sorry for you..." Keket replied. She didn't want to admit it but she was also doing this just for the sake of speaking to someone. Having to spend weeks talking to nothing else but a silly sword would drive anyone mad.

Toovir just looked at her, a very confused look in his expression.
Why would anyone help a person they've never met before... It just... Doesn't make sense...
He in fact backed a bit away from her now, taking only one step, then soon one more, as he turned his gaze to the left, away from her.
"You don't need to help me... But... Thank you..."

Keket just tilted her head a bit in confusion. Why did he back away from her like that?
"Funny...you looked like you needed help. In fact, you look like you still do. You should probably go rest soon. Just in case, you may not want to stay somewhere alone or near here. The wolf could always come back... What? Am I that creepy to look at or do you see something?" Keket questioned as the young man's gaze was still away from her. She looked around a bit but everything seemed well.
Another muffle could be heard coming from her sword. It was probably making a snide remark.
