Restless Stroll

Walk | Talk | Think

What she had said seemed to help, and the little creamy white wolf hoped the anxiety Awaken was feeling about joining the Glaciem would leave him altogether. In her eyes, there was really little to nothing for him to worry about. As harsh and intimidating as the conditions they lived in, at the heart of the pack they were a kind bunch, always considerate and kind and respectful, not to mention patient and forgiving and open to any and all who would make themselves comfortable and at home there. It was different, certainly, but only in the best way, and she was always glad to have been made a part of it, and to know that others wished to be a part of it too.

Darkness had swiftly descended over them, and as she followed the wolf's line of sight toward the skies as he rolled onto his back, she wondered how time had managed to get away from her so much. She had not meant to be outside of her home this long, had merely meant to wander a little and return swiftly so that she could be cozy and comfortable inside of her den before dark. And here the stars were starting to peek through, shining faintly and seeming to dance where they hung in the sky. But she could hardly leave Awaken here alone, especially if what he said about his condition. To be unable to determine reality from envisioned fantasies was not something she was familiar with, but she was not even remotely inclined to believe it an easy condition to live with. Her ears tucked against her head as her conflicted thoughts pulled her mentally in different directions, lowering her head to glance at Awaken again. By the distant look upon his face, she had to assume he was lost somewhere else, in one of his visions perhaps, and, watching, she waited for him to emerge.

He did so with a start, and even Merci flinched a little from the suddenness of it. Too caught up in what she might need to do, what she had promised to do, she met his green eyes with concern and question, closely listening to his question and nodding her head shortly. "What is it?" she asked, forgetting for the time being that she wished to return and only thinking to fulfill her promise to Awaken to the best of her abilities.
