Sunshine

Phoebe would taking a step back to let Conan have room to stand when she saw him beginning to move. Her ears folded back as she watched him struggle a bit to stand, the pain it caused him was obvious. But, none of the less, he got to his paws and stayed standing, making the corners of her mouth turn up in a small smile. At his gesture she would move to stand beside him, looking up at him with a smile as she gave his neck a lick before heading forward, walking shoulder to shoulder with him and being sure to match his pace so they wouldn't move any faster than he felt comfortable to.

They padded along in silence, but that was fine with her. It was rare that the russet Olympian wouldn't have something to say, but this was one of those times. Instead, she had her attention focused on Conan, trying to make sure he was doing okay, and on the forest around her, determined to be prepared should something else jump out at them. Luckily, it didn't seem like that was necessary. She didn't hear anything around them except for the low hum of bugs buzzing and birds in the trees moving and chirping. All this wildlife and greenery was great to be around considering the colder weather that was setting in on the mainland.

It took a good bit of walking till Phoebe's silver gaze spotted a dip in the ground that was covered by a fallen tree that was leaning against another large tree. It formed a natural lean-to and vegetation had grown up around it to form a nice sized, covered area. She smiled and padded forward, moving ahead of Conan to check for any scents that would show that the makeshift den was already taken. Not finding any, she turned around to face him, her tail wagging. "How about this? Not a real den, but it'll do I think."

Normally she was so picky about everything in her life. Her coat, who she was around, where she lived... everything. But something was different now. Maybe it was because she knew how badly Conan was hurt or maybe it was just something about Conan in general, but it calmed her down and made to reevaluate her priorities.
