Fault and fracture

The little moment of comfort offered by Wenna was pretty nice, she had to admit. Kaija, for a woman so independent, really liked being close to other wolves- especially ones she actually liked. When she pulled away, Kaija squinted to examine her missing paw. "I've seen a whole lot of nothings and I don't think that's nothing," Kaija jested lightly. Really though, she was just happy to see her friend again. "Same thing happened to me- stuck my nose where I shouldn't have. But I'm here now," she said, with an air of finality. That was all that mattered, anyway, right? Survival?

Kaija wasn't really sure how she felt about the Raiders and nobody coming to look for her, so she wouldn't think about it. Feelings were lame to sort through and try to dissect. She'd done too much of that these days, for weeks on end. She was glad to move on from it all, and focus on the present.

"Ain't no way this place was here before. I've never seen it," she said, brow furrowing tightly. This place just didn't logically make sense to her. "And it's not like these things could just be... constructed, no way." Kaija pawed idly at the dirt around the edge of one of the spikes, trying to imagine it.
