Everything is Alright

She didn’t really have any time to feel scared, there was a threat and Lillith reacted. Despite her illness and despite how weak she still was, Lil puffed up beside her big brother. The thought didn’t cross her mind, not when Ezra didn’t act on his impulse, but she would have been sorely disappointed if he had stepped in front of her. She had armor from their father just like he did and she was ready and willing to step up in defense of her home and her pack. Lillith followed her brother’s lead, taking a step forward with him as the two yearlings faced off against the long fanged feline.

Lilith was pleasantly surprised when the cat began to relent, wanting to keep its hide intact more than mess with a couple of angry wolves that were very much aware of its position. Maybe if it had remained out of sight and dropped a sneak attack on them it could have been successful. Probably not though. Ezra put on a burst of speed as he charged the cat and it turned tail and ran. Though she really didn’t do much Lil was proud of herself, and more so her brother, for standing ground and getting rid of the beast.

Ezra looked back to her and returned to her side, his own pride evident in the way he praised her. ”I didn’t do anything,” she returned quietly, naturally taking on a more humble tone especially as she felt the aftermath. A surge of adrenaline had gone through her and now it was subsiding, making her realize just how much they had been through together. ”Ooh,” she mumbled softly before falling back onto her haunches clumsily. She blinked her eyes as fatigue stole the focus from her vision. ”Ezra,” she whispered almost ashamedly, ”Will you help me back to my room.” It had been too much and with the nausea feeling she felt tears prick at her eyes with the realization. She was ashamed of herself for reacting like this after such a small task.
