Laeta was given a moment of reprieve at the top of the stairs, slowly and gingerly setting her back end on the stone as Fern rushed back to her room for some items. "Sounds good," She said after the younger woman, watching as she disappeared from view to the rooms one level below. Mel focused on keeping the emaciated wolf steady, as she felt herself sway from the lack of musculature required to keep her even sitting up. It was good to rest, and she paid no mind as Fern’s little stout leapt down the flight of stairs to the main hall. It was a much needed reprieve, something Lae would need to get used to until she had the strength to walk. It was by no means Mel’s fault, nor anybody’s, that she was so thin. Being paralyzed rendered her appetite nearly nonexistant, and food at that time was incredibly dull. Perhaps it was what she was enduring mentally, or the toll of the ooze she’d contracted during the Long Night, or a combination of both. Regardless, now she was beginning to bounce back. Even the thought of a meal motivated her to continue on this journey, a hunger she hadn’t felt in forever. As Fern returned, her grey figure was a welcome sight to Lae’s eyes. With a warm smile upon seeing her and her provisions, Fern inquired if she was ready to conquer the stairs. "I’m ready if you are," She replied, a genuine happiness smoothing out her voice. Finding the strength within her and a fire of determination like nothing before, Mel shifted against her as she shakily arose, letting Fern provide her support as her wobbly legs conquered each step, one by one. At times, Mel had to assist her by gently grasping the side of her scruff in his teeth, but she didn’t mind. It was how Mel helped carry her around when she was paralyzed after all. Still, the effort of each step centered around Laeta’s bony toes pressing down on each stair, shakily but steadily. A beam of joy crossed her expressions, the slightest glimmer of tears glazing her orbs. To some it might not seem so significant but to those who’d known Laeta’s grave plight..it was exhilirating. |
