I’m So Fucking Lost

Scald’s eyes squint with the scrunch of his brow as his head tilts lightly to the side. The girl had suddenly turned and disappeared into the grove. His ears flicker backward as he lets his eyes close. Being confused only made his brain ache even more. She had stared at him as if he were a skunk which was closer to being true than he cared to admit. But to just… wander away without a single word? Was he really that terrifying? There was no way. Defeated, he lays his chin on his paws and allows his head to swim. As he lay there, hoping the hangover would go away quickly, he was soon surprised by the sound of her paws returning. Her steps were light, as if she weren’t even touching the ground. The way she moved silently was impressive. Maybe she could teach him a thing or two. Looking at her through slits, he glanced at what she had brought him. As she sets it down and quickly takes a step back, he looks from the herbs to her with another confused expression. “Do ya not speak?” Scald questions with a scowl. Could he really trust someone who didn’t say a single word? He waits, hoping she would speak, but when she doesn’t, he has to assume that she is trying to help. Hesitantly, he scoots forward on his belly until his lips can reach the bundle she laid on the ground. Sniffing it at first, he can’t really tell what either one was but one was strong and almost spicy and the other was gentle and calm. Letting out a gruff hum, he finally reaches to take a few nibbles. Chewing the leaves slowly, his face scrunches up from the bitterness but swallows anyway. “This what I’m s’posed to be doin’?” Scald asks as he hesitantly and somewhat unwillingly finishes the bundle she had set before him.
