Run [Neo]
She really was an angel. She had a brush with death and all she could think of was him. He grabbed the carcass quickly then hurried back to her side, ready to brace her if she stumbled or fell. She swore that he would never lose her, a meaningless promise, he knew that for a fact, but an endearing gesture all the same. Everyone died sometime. But not today. Not her. And that was enough for him.
Every step he took was gingerly placed, his eyes flickering about restlessly, alert to any threat to his lover that may be present. He had lost her once today, he didn't intend for it to happen again if he could help it. He shepherded her into the cave and dropped to his hutches almost instantly. He was worn both physically and emotionally, the entire ordeal tying his stomach into knots and killing his appetite. A damned shame too. The beast she had brought him looked more than appealing and on any other day he would have gladly inhaled the creature. But today he only hungered for her soft words and gentle touch. Something to assure him that she was truly alive and well. Maybe then he would settle enough to indulge in the treat she had brought for him...And almost died trying to deliver it to him.
