swirling the drain

She had watched it happen. But initially, she did nothing but wait. Ghoul had lots of family, she was sure one of them would help him. But upon returning to the forest sometime later, she made her way to the area she had known that strange statue to be. And to where she had last seen Ghoul. A lot had happened since she had last properly seen him. She had caught a glimpse of him at the challenge and saw how angry he had looked. While she somewhat considered Ghoul a friend, her challenge was personal and mostly aimed at Recluse. She knew it would affect the pack as a whole, but she didn't care about them any more than they cared about her when she had been there. She couldn't say that she felt bad about tearing the pack away from Recluse's undeserving paws. But since then, she had come to find Widow and showed her mercy. And evidently, Ghoul was next.

She approached the young fallen warrior. He looked...broken. Pathetic even. The world had crumbled beneath his feet, and honestly, she knew exactly how that felt. Minus the broken limbs, of course. And while Habari did gang up and break her toes, it still wasn't as bad as this. Dual-toned gaze regarded him in silence as she looked at him. Lying there. Seemingly accepting the pit of despair he had fallen into.

Much like she had at some point. Yeah, she had been there a time or two. When she thought all was lost...like her life was over. But she managed to find the will to pick herself back up and keep going. And now she was here. Ready to show him that he wasn't alone. Despite his mothers transgressions, Ghoul was perhaps the only one in his mother's pack that had been kind to her. Even if he never stood up for her, their conversations and the few times they had worked together and tried to understand one another (even if it went unspoken), they were still connected in some way, shape, or form. "Ghoul is still here. His family left him." She stated the obvious, of course. But she didn't mean it as something to rub in his face. Simply something she had observed. "Medusa is here though." As what though? To her, she was here as a friend...as someone who wanted to help...as his new...alpha? (Still a strange thought to her). She wasn't here to strictly drag him to Insomnia, but to show him that despite all that had happened, he wasn't abandoned.
