when the world is falling apart

Ignita stood in the doorway as he bid her wait ever so quietly, her head tilted towards him, her gaze on the door for just a moment. When he finally spoke again her breath shuddered as she tried to keep it even. So many emotions boiled and rumbled and coiled just behind her heart, thrummed in her ears, and tingled her paws.

Silently she closed her eyes and gave him a curt nod. He worded it like a patient request as if she could deny him like any other wolf of the pack, but she was bid to follow his every request. Even the unspoken ones, even the ones hidden behind other words that she could parse out. There was no hidden meaning or need behind it other than comfort and not being alone.

She replied a simple yes in case he didn't see her nod. Then continued to put away the medical kit. Giving him the space he needed to compose himself.
