Samantha stood, taking the bowl from his hands when he finished. "I'm sure it'll come back eventually. It just might take time." He looked comfortable, if very tired and when he asked for another blanket she nodded, "sure, I'll be right back then you can get more sleep." She put the dish on the kitchen table, then walked down a hall to grab another blanket from a closet. She returned to find him curled up and almost asleep. She hummed in understanding when he said the news interested him as put the second blanket over the first and let him tuck it around himself. She pointed to the hallway she had come from, "my room's down there, holler if you need something." She walked to the wall, switching off the living room and kitchen lights, switching on the light over the sink so she could wash the dishes. After several minutes she put the last dish on the drying rack and gathered up her folders, leaving him to sleep.

She stayed up several hours due to the early time, music quietly playing near her bed and door halfway open. She eventually glanced at her clock, deciding it was definitely late enough to sleep. The next morning she woke up glaring at her clock which was currently humming quietly but was getting louder. Samantha deliberately pushed the button on the top, yawning into her pillow. She sat up, yawning again as she turned the clock off before it could hum again. She slipped on a pair of shoes, pulling her fingers through her hair in a vauge attempt to make the static go away. She stepped quietly to the living room, trying not to wake The Doctor if he was still asleep.
Eil'lyn returns with the keys as the drow begins his response. She pauses infront of him for a second, then kneels and presses the key into the lock, "I'm about to give you a chance." She says, pulling the key out after it clicks and standing, "but you try to run, you give me any reason to think you've turned against your word and I will not hesitate to gut you." The screams are louder this time and she makes note that their also in a slightly different direction. Eil'lyn scowls turning on her heel and stepping out through the door. "In front of me, go." She orders sharply, "why are- nevermind. What do you know about their strategy? It must have changed, or they wouldn't have made it this far." She spoke quickly, waving a hand at a guard who begins to draw their sword when they step up the stairs. They are allowed past and Eil'lyn gestures for the drow to follow, heading towards the nearer shouts.
Samantha quietly said it was fine as she handed The Doctor his food, smiling easily. When he asked if she was sure he could stay she sat up slightly with a small frown, "of course," she said immediately before smiling, "you might not remember it yet but you really helped me about a year ago, it's really not a bother," she continued in an - or certainly she hoped it was - assuring and relaxed tone. She didn't mind in the least and was enjoying entertaining the idea of having a friend around for a while as she rarely had people around these days. She was mostly fine, reading too many books but occasionally the quite would get creepy, thus her always leaving the TV on or playing music if the news was annoying her.

"Still cold?" She asked after a little bit, "I can get you another blanket if you like. There's also more food if you're still hungry." Samantha offered, gesturing vaguely at the kitchen area. "Or if you're tired I can let you sleep, I don't think I'll need to wake you up to check up on you since you didn't get worse." She trailed off slightly before speaking up a little, gesturing at the TV that he had been paying some attention to, "you can turn it off if it's bothering you, or change the channel."
Sorry that took a while. I also feel like I'm struggling with my Character's ctions and personality, sorry if at any point her actions seem inconsistent with previous behavior. I kinda need her to not gut Drew but she's not going to just suddenly trust something she's probably grown up hating. So I'm kinda struggling. Sorry.
Eil'lyn scoffed, when the drow said he had thought he might stay. "You were thrown in- You, a drow, one of a kind who has hardly kept their hands off our throats thought you might stay here?! Of course-" She demanded and was cut off from continuing. The scream was far too near, it was much to close. There had been assaults, raids of late but none so near the citys. She froze as the guard opened the door saying they had invaders, that the drow had begun tearing down their defenses. She nodded, saying she would be there momentarily.

When the guard left, door still open Eil'lyn turned to the drow yelling at her from the floor. "Let's say I believe you, that you are here because you didn't want to be involved In the raids. One soldier doesn't change the outcome of a war. You say you can help, how?" She turned to the door, pulling a jangling set of keys from the wall. If there was a chance he could help she would take it. According to the guard, the drow had already done major damage and she had read into the unspoken fact if they survived this they would be greatly weakened. And if she was wrong..well one soldier doesn't change the outcome of a war, her death at his hands wouldn't doom anyone.
Samantha sat on the armrest, nodding when The Doctor said he felt a little better. "Good, I'm glad to hear that," she said with a smile, "you're getting memories back too even if it's just a few at a time, that's a good thing." From what she recalled of her brief research this meant he was getting better rather than worse, which was a great relief to her. If he had gotten worse she would have been at a lose as to what she should do. "How about the chills? Still feel cold?" She asked, gesturing at the blankets. The news had finished the information on the weather and was covering the kidnappings again, noting the repeated lack of information from the kidnappers who hadn't demanded anything or even said they wouldn't bargain for the return of the persons.

"Whoa, whoa, you alright?" Samantha asked in concern, standing up and holding The Doctor's arm, trying to steady him after he attempted to stand. She gently lowered him to the couch and after he sat down she returned his grin and said, "not at all, just stay here." She walked into the kitched, grabbing a bowl and filling it with the pasta. She pulled a fork from a drawer and walked back, handing it to The Doctor.

Samantha sat down on one end of the couch with a hum. "Well," she began, thinking out loud, "it's late, you're still dizzy so looking for the spaceship probably isn't a good idea right now." She continued, gesturing as she spoke, "you're welcome to stay overnight by the way. I guess we could see if something will trigger more memories of yours, or discuss what you want to do tomorrow. If you're feeling up to it by then we could check out the spaceship." She made a gesture of uncertainty, saying "I guess it kinda depends on how you're feeling. We'll figure it out." She hummed again, leaning back on her couch to stare at the ceiling, hands pressed together and tapping her chin.
Hey, I don't think we ever actually specified. Is there magic? Spells and wizards?
The TV spoke several minutes on the kidnappings while Samantha researched, elaborating on the number of related kidnappings and also the circumstances. Samantha nodded, humming when The Doctor said roughly when he thought he had been hit. When he was half asleep barely after she had finished saying he could sleep, she really couldn't blame him. He wanted to sleep, needed to sleep and was just given the chance to. She would have likely done the same. Over the next five or six hours she woke him a few times, insisting he wake up enough to answer a question before letting him right back to sleep. She didn't need him awake for long, but she did need him awake.

Samantha looked over the folders from her work, dealing with loose ends from a recent job change within the company. When he began to wake up on his own she looked up from the folders, waving with a smile, "Good evening, feeling better?" She asked, "You got several hours of sleep." She stood up, walking over to the couch and sitting on the armrest near his feet. "Remembering anything? Oh, uh..there's food if you feel like eating," she said, gesturing to the kitchen and the source of what smells like Alfredo sauce and pasta. She didn't know if aliens ate or if they ate human food but she figured if he was hungry he probably did eat and she didn't exactly have anything but human food.
I had an idea to have kidnapped kids, like really advanced ones and young adults with some kind of organization to essentially "better humanity" by more or less selective breeding, like natural selection but specifically chosen by a third party to make a stronger, smarter human based on DNA. They prefer to kidnap young people, but have perhaps kidnapped some people in their 30s or 40s, not well know professors but very intelligent people, possibility some athletes. Possibly if The Doctor starts getting his memory back and does something really smart he could get kidnapped.

Anyways, throwing ideas at the wall to see what sticks. Sorry it took so long, sorry the response was short.
Eil'lyn nodded to herself slightly, frowning at his words. "You've explained why you were on the surface," she replied, "but you still haven't told me why you were in the forests. Why were you in elven forests? Surely you knew at least that much about where you were, we don't hide which forests are ours." It was beginning to seem to Eil'lyn as though he was avoiding that particular question. She would prefer if she had the information soon, with night approaching she would have tasks required of her elsewhere.
