Ruined

Zee asked what happened and Iolaire sighed, bringing one foreleg up to rub her face against lightly. "Nothing happened and that's the problem." She had simply left without a word. "Belle wanted to care for my wounds and I couldn't let her. I didn't want her to see my face." She had been avoiding everyone since that day. Zee was the first to find her and force her into an interaction. Aside from that, she'd only been collecting herbs and staying on her own.

"I'll have to apologize soon, I just can't yet." Her mind was still in a bad place. Plus she was terribly embarrassed at her inability to cope with the injuries. Soon. She would go to  Deathbelle and apologize soon. Just not now. Not while her wounds were still so fresh. Not while her face was ruined.
