Little darling, I feel like ice is slowly melting . . .
OOC: exit post, if you don't mind ;)
Neither the throbbing aching of her temples nor the sharp pain of her ripped muscles left any thought to pass through her brain. Intellections stumbled one on another, tangling themselves in the impenetrable funnel that was now her mind. Her act of mettle had left her broken, rushing in adrenaline with every beat of her pounding heart, with every pant that escaped her lungs in desperate search of air. Falling in tiredness, her body let itself go, lumbering a few steps before bumping on the ground with a muffled thud. It was not the physical effort what had left her breathless; the emotion had been so strong, so overwhelming, all she could do now was lie until further comprehension of what had just happened arrived.
For what could have been either a few seconds or an entire eternity, her numb body stayed in the same spot, motionless entirely with sunset orbs wide opened, aiming to the same spot of snowy liquid for all of the time she stood in the same position. She could feel her once thick and impenetrable coat heavy, filled with water and absorbing humidity form the winter ground, her spine shivering with every wave of soaking cold that reached her tender skin. It was time to go, probably to the security to the spot she had taken as den, to dry and survive for another day. She wouldn’t die there, and if she stood for too long, that was probably what was bound to happen, her primal instinct told her. Then, with a shivering rumble, she stood as best as she could, checking on instinct for the safety of the other wolf.
“How are you” dull words fell from her blanked mind in an effort to liberate herself from her numb veil. It had been all by instinct, she didn’t even know the wolf well and yet she had managed to save her life without hesitation. That was something unexpected… and new for her. Desperate situations, she had lived quite a few, but this feeling of adrenaline filling her veins with every hint of breathing was something she was not accustomed to feel, especially since she only remembered having felt it just one time before, in the disaster that forced her to survive alone and separated her family and protection from her. She knew this situation was completely different, yet she couldn’t resist to vaguely wonder if she had done the right thing… for her own self, at least.
But that was not something to debate at the moment.
The wolfess shook her pelt in a corporeal impulse to escape from her soaking chill. Then, eyes gazed blankly at the ebony lady that stood next to her, perhaps her mind wondering if she had something to say or comment on the situation, contrary to what she was being able to do or speak. But time rushed, and if she didn’t find a warm spot to rest, she’d be in trouble.
“I… I’ll be going now” a whispering bark broke the calmness of the scene “… Rebecca” Rebecca. If there was something to be sure of, it was that, either if they met again or not, she would remember her name. “Take care of yourself” she then dropper, an overwhelming sincerity striking her words as she drew the slightest of smiles in her tense onyx lips. Then, she proceeded to pad into the coldness of the forest, weakened pace in desperate need of recovering.
