Who Will Have Me?

Vi had come here for a walk, for away time from her pack and their pitying eyes. She couldn't handle the pitying eyes. And so she would head towards the woods, skull lowered to help with her balance and tail forever working to try and keep her on her paws. She felt wrong walking, her leg hanging uselessly rather then being curled up to try and put as little pressure on the muscles as possible. Paw was arched up, keeping the limb from dragging on the ground. She moved slowly, still not very stable but slowly getting better. This was the place she had considered claiming but now it would simply be her own place. It was beautiful here, perfect even in the early spring. But what was that? Was that blood? Head would tip as she paused in her movements, nose lifting to sniff at the air. Was someone hunting here? Vi would let out a soft bark, allowing whoever was here to know that she was there as well. Then she would begin her walking again, hobbling forward until the woman came into view. "Do you mind some company?" Vi smiled easily at the woman, she was vaguely familiar. Had they met before? Slowly Vi would lean into a tree, pressing her right good shoulder into the bark to try and alleviate some of the pressure on her paw. It would only help slightly but she didn't yet feel comfortable enough to sit.
