Morbid Pathology

Dalila gave a little nod of understanding when Aliana told her that she wanted to company to hopefully make the procedure feel less morbid. At Ali's insistence she pulled on a mask like the one Aliana was also wearing and settled back on her haunches to watch and at least keep Ali from having to go through this on her own. Her ears flicked back as she looked at Viper, her stomach twisting at the sight of her. Even though she had never really gotten along with Viper and they had never really reconciled after the misunderstanding that had caused the other woman to attack her she still would never have wished this fate her. From what she had seen of the sicknesses that had been plaguing Viper and the children of the island it was a rough fate to endure and she felt awful that Viper had to go this way.

Even from where she was sitting she could smell the odd twinge to the scent that was coming from Viper and once Aliana pulled back the first piece of skin to reveal what was hidden underneath she understood. Her stomach churned and she had to look away to let it settle for a moment before she could look again. It was the single most awful sight she had experienced and she had seen wolves in all manner of injury and decay. It felt incredibly unnatural what the illness and the mushrooms that had grown within Viper had done and it was extremely difficult to look at. When the lung was punctured and the spores flew out from the organ she was incredibly glad that Aliana had thought to use these masks. She couldn't look at Viper for long, only able to steal small glances before her stomach threatened to turn on her again. Aliana wasn't fairing much better, but the was honestly just impressed that she was able to examine the evidence well enough to discern as much as she did. "Just be careful," she warned before Ali began her work again. "With all those mushrooms and spores still present in there... I just don't want you getting sick too."
