gasp, is she dead?!

As Tethys and Crux talked, Dee listened. She understood and wished she could reply. Everything would go so much smoother if her voice would just work. Exhausted and in pain, she doesn't protest or hardly move when Tethys slides down onto the sand beside her. Instead, she curls up a little tighter, hoping that made it will be easier for Tethys to help keep her warm if she makes herself smaller. Letting her eyes close as they wait for Crux, she only has a moment before the sound of someone much larger approaches.

Lifting her head at the sound of her given name, Dee looks to Sirius. Her tail wags a few times against the sand before lowering her chin back down. Would Sirius be mad at her? She hadn't gone missing on purpose. She had been trying to do good by the pack. Getting lost had been an accident. Letting out a sigh, she decided waiting for Crux to return was better than expending energy trying to explain anything without words.
