was it only just a dream?

Venom asked him to be careful and Chimera halted, looking towards the injury that she spoke of. He was careful not to jostle her or touch the injury, but he did curl around her. Ears shifted as he listened to her story, brows knit with concern. Aspects of the tale seemed familiar, but Chimera wouldn't point that out. He didn't want to spook Venom any more than she already was. Mentioning that it reminded him of the Long Night wouldn't be wise. He had been incredibly ill after and could only hope that the same wouldn't be true for his sister.

She fell into lava? "Very strange," Chimera confirmed. There were no burns on her, nor did Venom stink of sulfur or char. He knew that her father had been killed via volcano, so perhaps she had been thinking of that in her subconscious. Again, Chimera wouldn't speak his suspicions out loud. He didn't want it to seem as though he didn't believe her, for he surely did.

"Are you able to walk or would you like me to carry you back?" He would be fine doing either. He noted that her body wasn't trembling and her temperature seemed to be fine, so she wasn't in shock. It would be safe to move her. Chimera looked into the distance, catching sight of one of his mastiffs. He sent the dog off to notify Aliana that he would be bringing Venom back with an injury.
