[Legion] Song of the caged bird

Legion was already on his way back to the Lamb's den to drop off a kill when he noticed Tana trying to work her way along the mountainside. He could see her struggling, but unfortunately, he had his mouth already full with a kill he was planning on bringing to them. An older mountain goat that had been left behind by his family would now feed the Lambs of Ruina, and Legion had to do his best to bring it to them safely.. then go back and get this hopeless little girl.

He dropped the kill off at the Lamb's den and made quick work to get back to where he'd last seen Tana. He couldn't find her at first, though the smell of rotten blood quickly led him to her. She'd fallen, tumbled somewhere down the mountainside and he couldn't exactly see her from where he was. With hardly any effort at all, the beast found his way down the stable rocks so that he could reach her. Without a word, his teeth found the nape of her neck. She was a smaller wolf so hopefully, her weight wouldn't pull too hard on her neck, but it was the only way he was going to get her back up to level ground safely.

Once he plucked her from the steep slopes of the mountainside, his talons gripped into dirt and rock as he worked on bringing her back up. He didn't lift her off the ground completely, allowing her to use her own legs.. but a lot of her weight was being pulled by his own teeth so that he could grant her his own strength to help her get up.

Once they made it, he let go of her.. her fur still sticking thickly to his tongue. He tried his best to get it out of his mouth, spitting a bit of his drool and some of the fur onto the ground before he finally spoke up.

"And that's why you shouldn't wander off alone," he said slyly.
