I'm walking on empty

Kalliope sighed as she relaxed a bit at Castiel's reassurances and comfort. He nuzzled her shoulder and she smiled a little, reaching with her muzzle to press her nose into the fur on the side of his neck. Her stomach fluttered a bit at his gentle touch. She hadn't sought someone out like this since she left home. He never seemed to comment on her blindness and for whatever reason he seemed to be as happy to see her as she was to be with him. She couldn't fathom why, but she was glad in this moment. She listened as she howled for someone and she felt a bit of nervousness bubble up in her. What if they didn't let her stay? She'd be fine, she'd survived through worse, but she really liked the idea of staying with Castiel. She had been alone for so long now that she was beginning to forget what it was like to really be with anyone else. It felt like just moments had passed before she caught the scent of someone else and a woman's voice was asking Castiel who she was. Castiel was her uncle then? She had to assume this woman was the alpha here so she used Faite's scent and voice to pinpoint where she was so that she would face her and give her a respectful dip of her head. "Hello, ma'am. I'm Kalliope. I was just asking Castiel if it might be okay if I come to live here, at least for a while... I've been having a hard time locating food and water recently with the summer drought." "Not that it's really ever terribly easy to find," she thought to herself, but didn't say. She resisted the temptation to lean into Castiel's shoulder. It had taken all her willpower to simply get past her own stubborn nature so that she could ask for this. She wouldn't let herself lean on anyone for anything. |
