[flesh and bone] He watched in a tolerably good mood as she pranced near the edge, biting his tongue on a warning to his darling companion. She would be safe, Altavro was confident in her. And then he saw her paw slip. Panic surged in his body and Altavro leaped forward, fangs seeking out to grab her scruff and catch her. But he was too slow and Altavro watched in horror as she plummeted downwards. The wind did not catch her, the wind did not save her and even as Albatross slipped from his grasp he was racing down as quickly as he could. Slipping and sliding as he raced down towards Albatross, Altavro let his thoughts run wild. She had to be all right. He needed her to be all right. He needed her. It was the closest Altavro had come to admitting his feelings for her, not that they were subtle to anyone else, but in the sheer fear that he felt drowning out any coherency to his thoughts, the only constant was that he needed to hear her voice. It was worse than the aftermath of the earthquake had been. He would go through that pain a thousand times if it meant that she could escape this fate. Altavro bargained desperately with the gods as he drew closer to his companion, but it seemed as if the gods had gone deaf. "Albatross!" He called out, desperation tinging his voice as he drew closer to the crumpled golden and white form. He nosed at her desperately, breath coming in sharp gasps. "Alba... You have to be okay... You can't die! I love you..." Panic. He couldn't think straight, couldn't breathe, couldn't get into the healer mentality. Not when he had a personal stake in the wolf that lay at his paws. He needed to check for broken bones, for internal bleeding, for trauma, but Altavro couldn't do anything but whine desperately and nuzzle her face, hoping desperately to feel her breath stirring his fur. Gods above, please help her... |
