It was hard to concentrate on his fur when he was this close, and looking at her like that. She wished all she could hear was the heavy thrumming of the rain, the beating of the hail. But it wasn’t. She could hear his soft, slow breaths, in, and out, tickling her coat with each exhale. She could hear the beat of his heart, just faintly, when she turned her head and pressed it closer to his coat. Which she had done, when she had been looking for bruises.
She wondered if he could hear her own heart-beat, painfully quick, irattic. The walls were closing in on her every time she looked around, so she kept her gaze determinedly focused on him, but then the intensity of his gaze would set her pulse racing.
“Then…” she said softly, with no direction for her words to go, no thoughts to follow through. But she was a healer, so she pulled something from that bag of tricks and said. “I prescribe us something to boost our immunity, and we huddle for warmth so we don't get sick.” that was the logical, healer side of her speaking. In actuality, the thought of pressing herself against this well-known stranger both chilled and warmed her.
