Don't Play Koi [Sirius]

Bast was there in moments, wrapping Sirius in leather after she removed the bracers on his arms. Dove watched with silent intensity, guilt lancing sharply in his chest as Bast looked at him and used a paw to point down the hill. Dove blanched but moved towards Sirius regardless of his feelings. There was much blood; staying here meant sure death for the other wolf -- and Dove couldn't allow that, no matter how much remaining anger he had for Sirius. He knelt and gestured at Bast to help him get Sirius up and on his back. The man was just about taller than Dove, but the star-spangled wolf was heavier. Taking on Sirius' weight would be awkward but certainly not impossible.

Bast acquiesced, and somehow, they got Sirius on Dove's back, and Dove was moving. Progression down the hill was slow as he tried not to jostle Sirius too much, breath heavy in his throat after ten minutes, and his muscles burning with the exertion. He panted and ignored the blood seeping into his fur from the wolf on his back. He had a general inkling as to where Sirius's pack was stationed, and that's the direction in which he headed. It took him another ten minutes of edging along, being sure to keep his footing, until they touched flat ground, and Dove sighed, beginning to take wider, more hurried strides.

It was strange, Dove decided, somewhere in the back of his mind where he was still calm. The fury that had consumed him the day of their spar seemed to have no place here, no bearing as he hastily marched passed the mangrove forest and towards Sirius' pack. One land over, he'd said that same day. The terrain changed, and it seemed to do so slowly. Dove wasn't sure how long he'd been carrying Sirius anymore, but blood -- his own and Sirius' -- weighted his fur down and dripped down his foreleg, causing Dove to leave sticky, bloody footprints as he walked.

A familiar scent wafted into his nose, and Dove looked up to see the familiar scene of the mangrove forest in which he'd made his home. It had felt like hours, and although that was certainly the case, Dove hadn't thought it would take so long to reach the territory that Sirius called home. He looked to Bast, the stress clear in his face and eyes. "Where to now?" he said, the urgency clear in his voice.
