You are a mage who was coming back from another Village back to your home and you saw a human man in a basket, he was probably a slave who fell off trail while being transported and was injured, needing medical attention.

I was startled, seeing someone approach me and backed inside my basket holding my hand out in fists, defensively.

What could they want from me? Are they here to hurt me?!...

"Stay... Away from me."

I spoke raspily in a stern voice, slightly growling.
