a toadstool for your time

I'll have to take your scruff and help you….. She heard the first few words, but the ringing in her ears muffled out the rest. She closed her eyes for just a moment, to try and focus. She felt the other wolf beside her, lifting her, and she tried to hold herself up. When she opened her eyes a pool of water was held out in front of her. That wasn't always there, was it? What about the monkey? She pulled up her dry tongue into her mouth and felt the sting of acid on her gums. Without consideration or hesitation, the girl lapped the water in front of her, no doubt splashing the kind creature holding the water. It soothed the ache in her throat and settled in her stomach.

"The shape, it's... You get a lot." She said while trying to focus on the brown wolf. "It isn't… uh,… one or two." She lowered her head when her stomach started to burn. One more time, she retched heavily. Not much was left inside of her but she was still able to expel some drips of foam and clumps of the morel. After her last hacking cough, she closed her eyes and hung her head. Noelani panted heavily, trying to catch her breath and right herself to little effect. The dark spots clouding her vision were getting thicker and thicker.
