She hardly had enough time to worry for him before his inky black coat was visible through the smoke. Zee's head lifted, her ears perked hopefully forward as she watched the behemoth approach. Once he was securely out of the flames, she moved to meet him. Collapsing in the snow beside him and shoving her nose into the fur around his neck. Her viper and toucan smoothly transitioned off his back and onto her, and she made a mental note to find fitting names for them when they made it home. "Thank you." She whispered, unmistakably grateful. Having some part of her old life back was comforting, grounding. Her viper curled tightly around her neck and lost himself amidst the fur there. The toucan's familiar talons grasped tightly around her shoulder blade to balance himself as she stood. For a moment she was simply happy, and then her mate's pained words reached her. "Help me up." The fire had obviously harmed him, though Zee found herself choking on her apologies. If he hadn't gone back in to save them, he'd be fine.. but they'd be dead. She bit her lip, leaned down and braced him with her small shoulder to try and assist him to his feet. "Can you walk?" She asked, feeling stupid for even asking the question. He had to be able to walk, else they'd be stuck here, starve or succumb.
