Kirsi's attention had been almost entirely captured by the feline, watching as he began to move along the length of the wall in her direction. It was embarrassingly easy for Kirsi to be biased about the things going on around her and to presume she was the cause of it all, and for a long moment she thought the cat was stalking her. As she mused over the possibilities in her head - running seemed a good possibility, because she realized that the feline was definitely around her size, and fighting him off wasn't going to be the easiest thing she'd ever done - she realized that she was wrong. The cat wasn't coming for her, it was.. following someone else, someone that just happened to be coming her way. Kirsi readied herself, squinting as she tried to make out the figure in the distance. Was that.. a child? His dark fur stood out against the pale snow around him, and she watched as he slowly turned to face the feline that had been stalking him. Shit. What was a kid doing out here all alone, anyway? Didn't he have a pack? Perhaps he was of Winterfell.. which would give her even more reason to help him. In the end, it didn't matter if her reasons for helping him were purely self-interested, so long as she did help him.. and so she decided to act. Her instincts kicked in, and she felt a surge of adrenaline begin to flood through her as she began to stalk forward. The leopard was quick to close the distance between them, but Kirsi was just as quick to rush forward, breaking into a hard run as she headed straight for Volcanic. She'd never been the least bit selfless, but hearing him cry out struck a chord in her heart she hadn't expected - for a moment she was reminded of her own children, whose lives had been cut painfully short, and she decided Volcanic wouldn't suffer a similar fate. A growl ripped from her throat as she quickened her pace, closing the distance between them. "Run!" She called out to the boy, her voice commanding but also a bit frantic. He was too inexperienced to face a creature like this, even though he was sizeable for his age, and she truly didn't want to see him get hurt. |
