long time coming

Hanako whimpered softly as she was splayed out atop Mortis' back, his wings furled in close to make sure she wasn't jostled or moved about too much as he carried her. Her list of injuries was long and winding, the majority of her tail was only hanging on with frayed nerves and sinew, the soft pink of her face was a purplish brown with bruises and even one of her front incisors was chipped, half broken. It was hard to say what happened, when Mortis had asked all he'd gotten was a muffled: I don't know. She just wanted to sleep, it didn't even have to be anywhere warm or comfortable, she just wanted rest. Peace.
Was that asking for too much? Maybe. It was hard to say, hard to even breathe as the cold air bit at her lungs. She felt Mortis come to a stop, his gait steadying as big trees surrounded them from all sides. Oh. This place, Hanako thought, her gaze glassy. Home.
