It was one thing to consider the enemy a mindless beast. Especially caught up as they had been in the battle. Adrenaline ran through her system, pushing out the fear. There had been no time for anything but the moment.
But as she stood there in the snow, the dire spoke. She realized there was intelligence behind his eyes. Had he attacked her for food, or for something different? She remembered being close to him, under him during the battle. Thr beast of a dire had been closer then she ever should have allowed. She felt sick, felt it rising her stomach and throat. She fought down the bile, her knees locking into place.
She felt the panic attack forming, but there was nothing she could do to swallow it. White showed in her eyes as her breath quickened. If the dire hadn't taken that moment to turn and leave them alone in the snow, she knew things would have gone bad. Helpless, trapped by her past and betrayed by the broken pieces of her soul. She hung her head, staring at the snow, willing her body to obey her.
The stranger was speaking, she needed to get a grip. She clenched her paws in the snow. It was in the past. It couldn't hurt her now. "Your timing was... that is to say, thank you."
