Wearily Amaretto continued her march towards Legion. It had been slow going so far and she had days, if not weeks thanks to her pace, left. Though she did her best to tend her wounds as well as she could, she was no healer and they failed to mend under her amateur care. She had to pause to rest often; her blistered paw pads supporting her weight until she could take the pain no longer. What else could she do but continue on? Lament was out there somewhere having gods knew what done to him. Was he even still alive? Every night she lay down to sleep not knowing the answer to that question and every night she lay awake unable to put her worry to bed so she herself could sleep. Her stomach had been in knots with worry since the moment that woman at the battlefield had told him of his fate. With resignation and no small amount of frustration Amaretto sat down (carefully, her broken tail hadn't been forgotten) in the shade of a large, rusted heap of metal. She turned over one of her paws and stared down at the angry pink flesh that mottled its usually rugged surface. To make matters worse, not only was she was a wounded mess, but the change in seasons had given Amaretto her first flowering. Had it been a pain free gesture Amaretto might have kicked at the ground in frustration, but she knew she couldn't even do that without making things worse so instead she just dropped her head to the ground and stared angrily into the distance. |
Amaretto has a male cotton top tamarin named Georgi who is with her at all times unless stated otherwise.
