Because Of You

He liked her. There. He could freely admit it to himself in the confines of his mind. He liked Orica. He really liked this little woman. She was strong, intelligent, beautiful and just unlike any other woman he'd ever met in his life. She was a healer, the type of wolf that healed the wolves that monsters like him tore up. And yet she had healed him, essentially saving his life when he'd gotten sliced by the moose. His gaze flickered away from hers for a moment, coming down to look at his chest. His skin had knitted together quite nicely, though the fur had failed to grow back over it, leaving the ugly, jagged pink line down his chest, forever marring him. Had he forgotten about Orica he would've thought that his new scar would've given him a more appealing look to the females, but now he just saw it as a reminder of the day his life was changed forever. Almost like a souvenir. But he wouldn't need it to remind him; having Orica with him would be reminder enough.

Speaking of his little medic, she had gotten pretty quiet after his little confession moments ago. Cyan gems danced back to her marbled face, the darkness of the cave making it difficult to read her expression, but the man's ever observant eyes were quick to notice the flicking of her ears and the rapid blinking of her sapphire eyes. Grey brows furrowed together in confusion as she dropped her gaze, tucking her chin against her furry ivory chest. She never shied away from him. It was always the other way around. So why was she doing it now? His jaws parted slightly, about to ask her if she was alright when suddenly her fluff of a tail tapped against the stone before she rose, words spilling from her lips. Well then. I'd best get back to check on Bob and Ca- Just when it seemed that their meeting would be cut short, Orica stopped mid-sentence as she turned towards the mouth of the cavern. Something outside of it caught her attention and Demyan allowed his gaze to follow hers, noticing for the first the flurry of white that seemed to have taken over the outside world. Snow. And a lot of it. He was a big guy. He had no problem facing a snow storm but Orica would probably be another story. Hm. I guess we're staying put for a while. He mhmed in agreement, figuring that if at any rate they would be stuck here overnight, which wouldn't be bad for him. He could use all the time with his little medic as he could get.

And then she was sitting again, her back to him yet craning her head around over her shoulder to look back at the leopard that had curled itself into a ball further back in the cave, it's golden eyes still staring intently at the pair. Orica didn't seem to sure about it as she whispered to Demyan if he thought they would be safe. He could easily kill the creature if he wanted to and the feline probably knew too, but it made no movement towards them or anything that would seem threatening. To ease her worry the gargantuan rose to his paws, closing the gap between himself and his little medic just a tad bit more, close enough to protect her yet not touch her. Much safer than out there. He murmured gently, letting his gaze fall on hers.
