Head in the Clouds

A faint smile would form on dark lips when the woman seemed willing to help him, the third friendly wolf he has met since escaping his little den in the cliffs. He felt bad though, the two women who had helped him only wanted to see him get better but after they treated his wounds he simply left without single word in the middle of the night, not wanting to be a burden on them. When he was trying to stand she would plead that he relax, stay there and rest, she would be right back. With a tilt of his head the male would accept it and just lay himself back down, not having enough energy to get fully up. Nuka sighed, laying a paw over the other then his his head on top, copper eyes watching the girl turn and bound off towards the woods. How weak, the male couldn't even hunt something on his own, had to rely on somebody else to do it for him. What if the woman had not been nearby, if she didn't break him out of his thoughts would he have froze in the snow? The though was a bit dark, making the boy shake his head. He couldn't think that way, no, what if Silver ended up returning to him and he wasn't there? She would be all alone again, he couldn't let that happen! In no time his ear would swivel to the side at the sound of snow crunching beneath paws, his head turned, eyes falling upon the woman coming towards him with something dangling from her jaws. He would watch her set it down, pulling tufts of feathers out of the breast of the bird, asking if it was okay that she had brought him it. He shook his head, it was quite alright, he didn't mind at all. A few more mouthfuls and she was done, setting the bird at his paws and giving him some room. "Th... thank you miss." There would be a warmth to his gaze as he looked at her then down at the plucked bird, he would have to repay her somehow. Tongue would run over his lips before the boy dug in, taking a chunk out of the flesh, chewing on the meat and swallowing it down. Though he was very famished, Nuka just couldn't bring himself to devour the bird like a mad man in front of the woman. He had respect for others, manners, even during a dire time like this. Careful bites he made, his gaze wandering over to the woman between mouthfuls. After a few minutes he was done, eating most of the edible bits and pushing aside the bones, licking small bites of meat out of his teeth. "Thank you again miss, this really means a lot." Voice still raspy, it held a gentleness to it now. "I'm Nuka, and I would like to make this up to you somehow." He had to, and there was no way she would turn him away. "normal. talk. think. you." |
