In the land of obscurity

As soon as he saw his friend gripping to the edge of the rock face, scrambling to try and pick himself up. Letting out a loud yelp he dove forward, his teeth seeking to get a hold on his scruff before he fell to his death. His heart beat almost painfully in his chest. Cathaoir was strong, but he really needed to strain himself to pull Starling up to solid ground. He reared up slightly, using his weight as he tossed himself back, trying to use his momentum to pull them both over. With a tight grip on Starling -- hopefully not making him bleed too badly, as both boys pitched backwards. Cath landed with a thud on his back, his front legs wrapping around Starling's front limbs, trying to link behind his elbows as the air rushed out of his lungs. He laid on the ground gasping, his maw dropping from Starling as he struggled to breath. It made the gray man grip the smaller yearling tightly against his belly, not realizing that he was holding him in place as he fought for air. All he cared about was the fact that he was here, and that Star was safe. He was safe. Finally he was able to take a deep breath, his lungs greedily inhaling as much air as he could get. It was then that he blinked his green eyes as he looked at the boy, who was very close to himself. His legs slowly unwrapped from Starling, heat flooding to his cheeks as his gaze was cast away. An odd feeling spread through his chest, his heart not calming any since pulling Starling off the edge of the cliff. It wasn't from fear anymore though. He didn't know what it was from, his dark tipped ears pulling backwards as he cleared his throat. Very slowly his gaze shifted back to the brown and white boy, still wider than normal. "Um. Flowers smell too. Right?" He asked awkwardly, blinking rapidly as he tried to focus, finding it hard to do so with the pressure of Starling on his chest. ooc ;// Permission to powerplay Starling was given by Arin. |
