Refugee

Clementine stood next to her new companion still as ever. The fear in the air hung high over their heads and her eyes stared down the Gorge with an intensity she had never endured before. Each moment felt like hours as her icy bodice pressed against Kane's. She assumed even the tiny bit of contact between their forms would provide stability and slightest amount of warmth. Every little bit would help him. Some tension was cut as he responded with his own name. His chattering voice made its way into her ear with difficulty and the babe offered him a gentle nod. Aindréas Kane Adravendi. A powerful name she would never forget. How could she forget the Wolf who saved her life? Kane risked his own life in order to rescue her and now he suffered for it. Clementine silently vowed to not leave his side until he was back to full health.

Suddenly her eyes widened as the form of an orange an crimson Wolf fell into her vision. The being quickly made his way towards the duo and she let forth a big sigh of relief. A worrisome tail flicked as he closed the distance with formalities. But, before she could respond with an explanation the Alpha seemed to suss out the situation himself. Another breath came from Clementine as she immediately follow Kane and Ignatius down towards the warm cave. Her pace was quick and her eyes remained on Kane the whole time. She knew his legs were likely giving him trouble and would be on alert in case he needed help walking down the slope. But, as they got to the cave safely the woman settled in a tail length to the right of Kane, seating herself with a tiny huff. Silver eyes were glossy with worry as she took in her companion's words. "We are even, Kane." A pause. "There are no ifs and or buts allowed here. You will survive, I believe in you."

Clementine looked towards the Alpha with a worried gaze, assuming he would desire some sort of explanation now. Her inky black tail tucked in along her front paws as she swallowed nervously. "Ignatius, I am so grateful for your generosity." The babe did not want to speak on behalf of Kane but from what he said earlier it went unsaid that he would agree with her words. "I am Clementine Wreckage of Kesali and this is Kane." She paused before nodding to herself. "I was on a bit of an adventure up north wandering the submerged woods when a Bird flew into my face.. I was shocked and slipped on the ice. I fell on my belly and the force of the fall made the ice crack around me. Thankfully Kane was nearby and helped me get to safety. But, he was so occupied assisting me that he fell behind and the ice shattered around him. He fell into the water and I had to pull him out." She looked down at her paws for a few moments. "It was a freak accident.. that I caused. I do hope we you would allow is to spend the night here in order to regain our strength." Clem looked down to the frozen Wolf with a significant frown.
