On Death and Dying
He'd remain quiet, vigilant over the whole situation as he watched the younger generation work together to help their ailing comrade. He watched Quake working with the healer boy, and he had to admit...he was proud of her for helping despite the fear he knew was coursing through everyone. Even when the appearance of a foreign pack wolf showed, Kakashi would remain calm and watchful while the youth offered his help. It was only when the girl stopped seizing and things were calming down that he would rise and move towards his niece and the boy she was helping, a nod offered to Starling. "Yes, I can handle it." He stared pointedly at the Imperium youth, someone that was no more then a stranger to him. "I can take it from here. It would be in her best interest, to be taken care of by her own pack. But thanks for the offer, go home kid." Okay, maybe he sounded a bit rude but Kakashi was Kakashi and he never liked when outsiders meddled with affairs of packs they didn't belong to. Really, he had learned that it was more trouble then it was worth. Returning his attention to Star and his other packmates, he stood by Finch. "Ready when you are." |
It was when Finch stopped flailing that Lillianna froze and whipped her head around, Ash discarded as quickly and easily as Sparrow. Panic fluttered in her chest even as she slid down, her ear flicking towards the girl's nose and mouth, hoping, praying for a breath - and there it was. It was so soft, a bare flutter on the fur of her ear.. but it was there. Relief - so strong it was nearly palpable, surged through her, and she'd slide of the girl, limbs shaking. She'd hear the chirp, and she'd see Civetta - the bird lost Finch, and felt terrible. But... Starling was there, offering comfort. Just as Starling had been there to save Finch. She'd stumble towards the healer, body shaking, pausing a few feet away as Starling sat and spoke to Sparrow, and to Kakashi. She paid no mind to the other wolves, simply focusing on Star. Her eyes would be as wide as his when he lifted his head to look at her, and green would meet blue. She stepped forward slowly, to sit heavily next to Starling, her weight leaning on him if he allowed it. A ragged whisper - it was all she was capable of - came from her. "You did it. I told you so." Her voice was scratchy, but... it was there.
