If These Scars Could Speak

The female replied, but not in the way he hoped she might. She didn't seem happy with his presence.. or maybe she was just uncomfortable overall, regardless of whether or not he continued approaching her. At first he worried he had been the cause of her distress, but it became quickly apparent that something else was going on. Once he got a better look at her, a few steps closer, he was reminded of the injured cat he'd seen with Theory. That creature had been damaged beyond repair, but this wolf looked to be in better shape... though not by much. When he saw her burns, he couldn't help but be reminded of his own experience with the wildfire that had ravaged his home just a few seasons ago, and he felt a heavy pang of sympathy grip his head. Her injures looked fresh, at least from a distance, though some of them looked long since healed-over. She wasn't on the brink of death like that cat had been, at least not from his inexperienced judgement, but she didn't look like she was doing great either. It was hard to not want to help, despite knowing he knew almost nothing about healing or tending to injuries. He slowed his pace as he got closer - he knew his large form could come across as intimidating - and let his tail hang loosely behind him to show he meant no threat to her. If she asked him to leave, he would. "I'm sorry, you just looked -" His words caught in his throat. Hurt? No shit she looks hurt. He paused for a long moment, trying to find the right words, suddenly reminded of how words had never been his strength either. What was he even good at, anyway? "- like you might want some company. It's kind of a shitty time to be on your own," he added with a slow shrug, casting his glance toward the volcano before resting it back on her. Sure, he was here on his own, but he had family just across the water. Family who would come looking for him if they didn't see him, family who wouldn't rest until they found him.. right? He wondered if she had the same, and the thought that maybe she didn't made his heart ache even more for her. |
