She was slow to answer his call, but he had chosen the exact moment thunder rumbled over the land. He'd watch her in the dim light as she slowly stood, unsure what he would do himself as she approached. Her exuberance brightened him a little, but even she was quick to fall into his darkness. A whine, and her voice would lower to a whisper as she took a good look at him. Then she saw his scar, but it seemed like she didn't realize that it was a permanent fixture. He'd brace himself slightly as she used him as a ladder up to his face, he'd lower himself slightly to give her a better angle. It wasn't long before she'd realize. Was that tears in her eyes because it sounded like they were in her voice. "I'm alive," he'd rumble, unsure how much he wanted to tell her, or how much she wanted to know. "I fell.." He'd start, he wasn't sure when. His memories of that night were foggy, he wasn't even sure if she'd been with him when he'd slid down the cliff. |
