ERIS PYRE

______________________________

As she heard the scuffle, Eris' eyes desperately tried to follow the fight. She couldn't make out where the wolverine ended and Oxide began. Her breath came in short, labored gasps, and her head was getting light. Now was not the time to panic... To bring herself back to reality, Eris bit her lip hard until she tasted blood. The sharp pinch brought her hurtling back to earth. The sounds of the fight had ceased, and the scent of blood was heavy on the air. Musky wolverine overwhelmed her senses. She shook it off and focused on Oxide's scent, now the second-most familiar thing to her in Boreas.

His concern for her was strange. It seemed to transcend the transacational nature of their first interaction. She was too stunned to make any sense of it now. "I'm fine, I'm fine," Eris said quickly, bounding to his side. "We need to move away from this area in case it returns," her words came pouring out of her mouth in one great gasp. She ducked into the mouth of the tunnel for a moment and filled her mouth with as much moss as possible - the thick, peaty smell made it easy to find - then reappeared before him. Eris nudged his chin with her head and curled her tail around his backside, trying to usher him onward.

Trying to speak around the moss, she mumbled, "shhleean onsh me," and forged ahead. She headed back the way she had come, recalling a relatively open stretch of land that had been filled with the spicy scent of fresh growth. With any luck, he would have a soft place to rest with a good vantage point of the surrounding area, and she would have resources and a place to work without fear of predators.
