hale cometh down upon our spines

When he props himself up onto his elbow, her body tenses visibly. Was he going to attack her? Trust issues much? Her expression is apprehensive as she finishes her snack as he looks at her, looks at her tail. Delphi scowls, scrambling to shift enough so that her tail isn't in his view. She even goes as far as to tuck it against her buttocks to hide it even more. What she wasn't expecting was for him to ask what happened to her. Her scowl shifts into a... torn expression.

"Why do you care?" She snaps quickly, her ears flattening and her lips turning down in a frown. Her heart is racing in her chest, and anxiety building in her belly as the memory of what happened threatens to haunt her. Her mouth is going dry and her face begins to screw up as if she was going to cry. "It doesn't matter what happened. It happened and that's it," her voice is tense, strained against the lump in her throat. "I don't even know if they'll be able to find the guy that did it," Delphi's voice is quiet as she admits the one thing that upsets her the most about the situation. She could hardly remember what he looked like so how were they supposed to find him? Putting her chin back down on her paws, she stares ahead at the fire, refusing to look at Strai.
