Nothing to lose

To be honest the girl didn't quite know what to do with herself. She was thankful that she was given something to do - treating Riv's wounds kept her from thinking too much. It wasn't until she'd reapplied his dressings and given him something for the pain that the silence would come back and she was left to her own mind. They were dark and forlorn thoughts and once again the silver healer was left wondering what she was to do with herself. With Rivaxorus and Myriad she'd had a home, a talent she could pursue, and even friends who she considered family. Everything had crumbled lately and she could no longer see what was in store for herself.

So she sulked in her den with only Nox for company. The cat rarely left her side and didn't say much lately which wasn't too odd for her feline companion. Nox wasn't a cat of many words, but even the fire had left her tongue lately and she'd left Armai to brood in silence. There wasn't much the leopard could say so rather than make it worse her tongue would remain dormant. Armai was content with this factor and didn't try to strike up a conversation.

Occasionally her mind would wander to her old pack mates. She had no doubt Jackson would be around somewhere. Her mind would flit to Zephyra and she wondered how the woman was doing and what would become of her and Riv? Would they work out or was that marriage doomed from the start just as Myriad seemed to have been? What of Ren, Nixie, and Kaitlyn? She hadn't smelled hide nor tail of Ren and she was thankful for that. She was just about ready to tear into his hide just as she'd been ready to tear into Nixie's. She hadn't expected them to stay, but even two out of the three siblings finally seemed to have gotten the point at the end of the fighting when Riv had lost. They were out of a home as well. What of Lourdes, Xephyris, and the others? Had they all fled too? Were she and Rivaxorus the only two left?

It didn't seem so. She heard paws trudging through the shallow waters of the willows long before the wolf came to her den. She'd raise her head from where she lay in her den and ears would prick forward. It would be Xephyris' scent that greeted her and before long his voice carried though her den. She thought to the brief fight where he'd cheered her on and she smiled at the thought. She rather liked the man. He had honor and was loyal. She wasn't surprised to see that he was still lingering about, but what brought him here?

"You can come in." She'd say with a brief pause. "What brings you here?"

Walk, "Talk" Think "Nox"
