happy endings are the hardest to fake,

She seemed to finally respond to his prompting and the tiniest smile quickly flickered across his face. Her weight dropped onto his and for the first time he could remember Torin was glad for his height, easily able to support her much smaller frame, well standing still anyways. He knew it’d be a different story once they started moving but for the time being he was confident that at the very least he’d be able to handle her. "Follow my pawprints." He instructed, pointing his nose towards his own visible path. "It’s safe there."

And they slowly began to trudge forwards, he maneuvered himself awkwardly to both be pushing her slightly forwards while also taking her weight when she needed. His efforts are rewarded with her name and despite himself another small smile graces his features. "Torin." He rumbled, offering his name in kind.

Another form approached from the forest and Torin felt the pit in his stomach knot ever tighter. He was about to call out a warning to his adoptive sister when she called out to him first. He wasn’t quite sure how to answer that, he wanted both to reassure her and also for her to stay exactly where she was. Before he could respond another voice chirped up and he noticed the brilliant plumage of a small rainbow bird against his rainbow sister’s head. Jewell started towards him and he stopped. "Jewell Arrêt! Terre est pas sauf!" He called out, tongue stumbling awkwardly over the still mostly unfamiliar language. "Follow my tracks!" He instructed his sister.

He wanted to keep pushing on but was worried their paths colliding with Jewell would lead to another accident so he waited, very impatiently for her to slide up beside them. When she did he first addressed his sister. "Maybe, for now she needs to eat and sleep. She’d not make the trek to the desert. Let’s get her to the forest and see if we can find a den or someplace for her to sleep." He nodded to the forest in the distance. It felt like it would take them a lifetime to get there.

Next he turned his attention back to the faltering woman. "This is Jewell, my sister. She’s gonna help us okay? Keep leaning on me for the time being though alright?" He then started the long trudge forwards again, aiming to keep Jendayi in the center of his tracks. "Can you tell us more about you, or how about a story?" He tried to coax more out of her, if he could keep her talking maybe he could keep her awake long enough to get them out of this situation.
