don't turn away now
ft acere
she was about to look more closely at his potential injuries when he suddenly moved forward, pressing his muzzle against her neck. Heloise felt heat rise to her face and part of her wanted him to stay like that forever, just holding her yet... "I'm alive" her voice was full of physical pain yet she rested on the ground in her own blood. she untangled herself from his hold, leaning backward and away from him. what did he expect after he had shut her out? this was all very confusing for her, his affection now and rage at her being assaulted by the bear.
"I think I need a healer" she would say softly, feeling her ribs bruised underneath her pelt. the shoulder wound would heal into a scar - just another to add to her list - but she was concerned her stomach may have punctured. did Winterfell even have healers, though? they all seemed like soldiers to her. Heloise saw no other wounds on her body, felt no punctures outwardly... but the blow to her head and side warranted bed rest. she was not going to be on her paws for a few days at least. "I... thank you. for saving me." she said formally, knowing now she could not repay him for her life.
stubborn pride did not let her look at him and a frown crossed her features in a steady line. Heloise said nothing more, focusingly on making herself comfortable on the ground until the blood had clotted.
