Empousa was making her back from Auster, she wanted to camp at the beach for the night before heading back into Boreas. So far not much had caught the dusty colored woman's attention, at least not for long. Tonight's weather was cold, wet, and windy. So she was smart enough to not want to attempt to cross what remained of the bridge before her. Soon her attention is called from her as her ears tilt forward at the sound of a cat mewing in the distance, the distress evident in its poor voice. And Emmie rushed to close the distance, curious to find what was distressing it so. As she stumbled across the scene her widened ever so slightly, and she approached the poor cat slowly. Letting it sniff her as it mewed more and appeared to try desperately to lead her closer to the bridge, and she followed. Eyes landing on what she could only assume to be the cause of the cat's worry. She came to sniff the rather limp-looking form, checking for signs of life. Making sure the effort she was going to make would be worth it, and she wasn't going to be hauling a dead body onto the beach. After getting a decent enough sign of life from the limp girl's chest rising and falling she reaches to grab her by the scruff. Hauling her form to the beach, which took quite a bit from her. She was smaller and lighter than the woman she dragged, but in the end, she would have felt just kind of bad if she left her here to die. Especially since that poor cat was clearly VERY upset by this. Empousa grumbled a little as she finally got the woman far enough away from the ocean that she didn't think the waves were of any danger. Then she took to sniffing her, trying to figure out if she was sick or what. And then the heavy scent of alcohol hit her and she just shook her head. So she would be taking care of a rather thin, unhealthy-looking drunk tonight, great. She headed into the coastline, gathering some sticks and tinder so she could make a fire. She wanted to keep the girl warm at the least, make sure she didn't get sick. And then if she could she would catch something small for her to eat after she got a fire going. She came back, set up the fire, and made sure it would stay burning long enough for her to get something. And so she went to the land bridge, waiting to spot some fish, and almost dived in after them. After a few trips, she gathered up six fish and claimed that to be good enough for them both. She took to cooking them on the fire, after giving the cat one for herself. Had to reward the poor thing for all its efforts after all. And then she drew herself closer to the unknown lady, sitting on her haunches and laying next to her. In an effort to at least sort of warm her up. Hopefully, she would awake, sooner rather than later preferably. "Speach" |
