Traveled long and far
Nimue padded along with him; her stomach churned within her. She still felt a little anxious about this whole situation but there was nothing she could do now. Quickly they reached their new destination and she was glad. If it had been far away she probably would’ve been even more exhausted and her mind would’ve wandered more and created bad scenarios.
She watched Leo as he entered the water, almost fascinated. Why hadn’t she thought of eating fish? Of course, her home land wasn’t as…watery as this place, so it hadn’t occurred to her or probably anyone in her pack to eat fish. Realizing that now, she felt a little dumb. Her mind thought back to all the streams, rivers, ponds, and lakes she had traveled near or through. Oh well; no use thinking about it now.
“Oh no! Fish is fine. I have actually never had fish.” She looked down at it. She had seen fish before of course, but their taste was a mystery to her. She put a paw on the tail of one fish and started tearing into it. Wasn’t so bad, after all. She had been worried it was going to be utterly disgusting. She continued on and finished both fish quickly. Nimue sat back, licking her chops.
“Thank you for everything you are doing. This is very kind of you” She felt the need to be very explicit with her thanks. Leo had no reason to take her into his pack; she was almost knocking on death’s door and would be a burden until she could get healthy. That is, if he let her in. |
