Tingling Paws

Aria' s words were music to his ears. She accepted his apology, while promising it wouldn't happen again. He smiled, the first smile that had been placed upon his maw in weeks. The evening light bounced off the walls of the cave, showing the painting' s of the past. Haku noticed the darkness at the same time as Aria. The moon was chasing away the sun, as it did most nights. We should head deeper in before the cold of night slips in. Haku nodded happily and watched as Aria got up. She herself was a bit battered and bruised. What had she been doing while gone? A sudden thought crossed his mind. Would he himself be able to get up?
Haku readied himself. Tensing his muscles, he heaved himself up paw by paw. His feet were still shaky, but he could manage to walk, but slowly. He moved towards Aria, nodding his head for her to lead the way.
