I Remember

"You don't have to sit there looking sullen, boy." Due to a damaged voice box, the massive woman's vocals were gravelly and scratchy. The single sulfur yellow eye that she possessed cracked open and her gaze fell upon the winged child. As any trained warrior would, she had smelled his approach the moment that the wind brought it within range. It was curious to the woman that he would choose to seek her out. Not one member of the pack, save Sirius, had done so thus far.

With a grimace, teeth pulled back from the woman's odd teeth. She pulled herself to an upright laying position. "Now, what brings you all the way here?" Her blocky head tilted to the side as she watched the boy, waiting to see what was on his mind. No doubt it was the events that had led to his own injury. Betrayal was a difficult thing to swallow, especially when it came from so close to home.
