ray of sunshine

Clementine knew the severity of the situation. If he did not get warm the man would freeze to death. Frost would overcome his wet form and begin to crystalize. Frostbite would damage his flesh and the cold would kill him from the inside out. Thus, as she was successful with her rescue attempt there were no questions as to why he instantly ran off. The woman followed with careful paw placement and a quick pace. Even the bit of water that got on her fur from splashes and contact from him began to tingle her own skin. Clementine was overcome with a thick layer of worry and guilt. If she hadn't been so clumsy this innocent bystander wouldn't be clinging onto his life.

The obsidian babe followed him with wide eyes and a low tail. She shook with fear but also trembling beneath the blistering wind. Her muzzle was rather wet due to gripping his soaked hackles. But, as he turned to her and they were out of harms way the woman took in a deep breath. His words came out in a flurry before he quickly set off through the north in order to find warmth. Not only was the north a naturally cold climate it was the thick of winter. Snow storms and even blizzards threatened them in a way she had not anticipated. They had to get to warmth as soon as possible so she quickly followed him without any sort of question. "We must move fast.." There was a dire pep in her step that was driven by pure fear. The woman then moved to trot at his side, shoulder to shoulder. "Use me for support if needed." A simple demand, one she hoped he would not refuse. The dropping temperatures could only result in numb limbs.
