Ain't my fault it's all I got

Mara contemplated his response a moment. She was willing to do a bit of walking, she supposed, if it meant a decent nights sleep. Unfortunately, as she went to walk towards him her steps were unbalanced and her head felt light and dizzy. My, the lack of rest was certainly sneaking up on her with no warning at all, wasn't it? Letting a soft breath hiss through her teeth she shook her head. "Here will have to do." she muttered before more or less collapsing onto the grass, legs tucking under herself as she hit the ground. That definitely did not make her any less dizzy. If anything it was a mistake. Oops. But who cares if those who are not long for this world do just a little suffering?

She would curl herself tightly into a dark grey ball of fur, though the circle was hardly a neat one. Her low weight had points of her body sticking out where they shouldn't. Goodness, she looked like shit. Thank the stars she wouldn't have to forever. Her spark-colored eyes slid closed and Mara tried her best to relax, empty her mind, and fall easily into the awaiting embrace of sleep.

It found her not long after, however, her rest was hardly peaceful. If a wolf could sweat she'd be doing just that. She would dream of being small again, leaving her home after the adults disappeared. Looking over her shoulder, she saw little faces gazing back at her. But, they weren't her siblings, they looked different... Her children. They depended on her, they followed her. Mara couldn't stop herself, only watched as the memory of herself would chase them away time and time again until they did not return. A soft whine escaped her, body twitching as her dream only got darker. She found them, sometime later. The less capable little ones all having perished because they could not care for themselves as well as her. They were so thin. So gaunt. They depended on her, and she let them down. She let them down and left, only worried about herself, oh, what an awful creature she proved to be time and time again. Mara woke only once one of the dream pups lifted his little head to stare at her pitifully, crying for help.

With a gasp, the woman's limbs scrambled wildly, hauling herself to a somewhat upright position, breath coming in quick shallow gasps. Looking around to ensure there were no tiny faces looking up at her, Mara's breathing slowed and she looked to Inverno to see if she'd managed to wake him.
