Careful It’s Carnivorous

Relm was reluctant to come in after Irilyth greeted her. She had almost asked if they could go somewhere else but didn't want to raise suspicions or just act weird.

She limped carefully forward into the den and into her own corner, laying down when given the meadowsweet to chew on. She silently refused it, hoping that Irilyth was too busy examining her to notice. She was too stubborn for her own good though maybe her acting tough was making up for something. But no, she was really much tougher than average. Of course there was the hidden part of her that desired something to fill the void. She didn't know it entirely herself.

"I'd just like you to hurry up." Relm was less than blunt or pushy, but maybe that was in the way to tell Irilyth she didn't want to talk about it. "Please." Irilyth started working on the cuts driven down her back which stung a little at first, but soon Relm was grunting and digging her weight and claws into the ground below her. The meadowsweet beside her, she still didn't consider taking Irilyth's initial advice. Maybe she was actually punishing herself in some way.
