She was on the cusp of the realms of consciousness and dreamland, though her ears twitched with slight response to the words that broke the barrier and joined her on that cusp. 'Miss? Let's get you off the beach..' Ricky's dual-toned eyes flickered beneath the thin skin of her eyelids, but inside her skull she was looking out across a beautifully constructed beach unlike anything she'd ever seen before. Everything was dark, the sky black without a single star and the sands just illuminated enough by the brightness of the moon to be visible. She scanned the ground beneath her as the swirls seemed to get more intricate and complicated the closer they were to her limbs. Wait. Her limbs? What limbs? Almost in a panic, she looked beneath her as an uncanny feeling sent goosebumps up her spine and made her hackles stand on end- visible in the real world for Ara to see. In Ricky's dreamland she'd soon discover she was without a body, but rather some.. supernatural floating being and when she moved, the sand swirled in her direction. Even if you just drag yourself there.. you- you can lean on me if that helps.' Ricky was confused, floating along in her dreamy island creating artistic shapes and figures in the sands below her though the words seemingly echoed. They called to her, increasing in volume and she couldn't ignore them. They.. they seemed to be coming from above. Her ears twitched, eyes rapidly moved back and forth beneath her lids. Something was calling to her. Ricky looked up in the sky on her dreamt-up island, her eyes looking to the moon for answers but what she found was not a moon but the pale face of Ara with piercing, glowing crystal blue eyes. Wisps of color played in the air beneath those eyes and trailed down to her, but with that the dream was over. Ricky opened her eyes wide as she awoke and they immediately found themselves on Ara's piercing blues. She lowered her ears almost in embarrassment before the words that had been spoken came to mind again. She gave a nod, agreeing that she needed to get off the beach and that she would try. Heavy paws moved in the sand, her right forepaw being first to anchor itself with talons outstretched while she situated her hinds. It took some work to get herself upright, but it seemed that Ara was right there to help her even where she was weak. With her injured leg fractured, it put her off balance and she discovered her left shoulder suddenly against Ara's form. She was hesitant but without any other option, and was left forced to lean her weight against the stranger. She looked away as she stood there, thinking back to the dream and the island that she'd seen. In times of trouble, it wasn't rare for her to look to the moon for guidance.. so the fact that she found Ara's face there waiting for her gave her a chilling feeling when she looked upon the woman's visage now. Perhaps it was.. her subconscious telling her it was alright to trust this woman? Her inky lips pulled back into a soft smile, though her eyes didn't dare to look at her just yet. "Thank you." She tried her best to hold as much of her own weight as she could, knowing well enough that she was a heavy beast. She almost felt bad for Ara trying to help her out, but it only seemed to add to Ricky's growing appreciation for the woman's presence. If she hadn't been here, she wasn't sure what could have happened. |
