I hear the chimes
She waited for what seemed like an eternity, but the reality was that only a few minutes had passed. Whimpering still, she stopped licking his muzzle when she heard the approach of another. Blue gaze lifted to see Enlil coming towards her, stopping with a puzzled look. Her own brows furrowed as she listened to his question, doubt and confusion crossing her features. Looking back at their dad, she frowned. "Do you think so? Daddy usually always wakes up when we nip his ears but...I did that and he's not getting up." Blue eyes roamed his still figure, worry still etched in her gaze. Maybe her eyesight was just that bad, and maybe he was still breathing. Maybe he was really tired from his wounds that he was just in a really deep sleep. Still, she couldn't help but feel something nagging at her mind, and it wasn't anything pleasant.
Sighing, she looked back at her brother, wondering where the others were. Wouldn't they have come by now? She lowered her head, gently nosing Vereux's neck in another attempt to wake him. When he still didn't stir, she furrowed her brows and abandoned the task. "Daddy feels like he's getting cold, we need to keep him warm Enlil! That way he can rest better." Moving towards him, she placed herself in the crook of his curled body, her head resting on his shoulders. The last thing she wanted was for her dad to catch a cold or get sick from sleeping out in the open. And with his other wounds, he might be more susceptible to it. Right? Maybe the others would be here soon to help them keep their dad warm, and they could all take a nap in one big family pile. "Speak" |
