i can't stop drinking about you

Shai's voice would finally slither through his haze, a silencing sound that hushed his erratic mind. It soothed him, calmed him and slowly his almost frantic breathing would slow to a more normal pace. For a moment he would stand, eyelids fluttering open and closed before ending at a half open position and studying his surroundings groggily. He still struggled to hear much past the pounding of his heart in his ears. Shai spoke again and again Skah's skull would loll and flop so he leaned against his brother his head head draped over the other male's back. There was so much green here? Why couldn't he focus? Akia. That word broke through and then they were moving. Pierced ears flicked forward and he forced himself to lift his skull. Paws would shuffle forward, retaining his most basic motor skills. He would allow Shai to go forward a bit more, flopping his head on his brother's back. He could walk in his weird almost falling then catching himself motion but it was the direction his struggled with. He used Shai to ground himself, focus him on the hear and now. His eyes would flutter open and closed again. "How? is Akia, and you? While I was gone?" God he felt like an idiot, barely able to form coherent sentences. He wanted to slap himself, a small past of his mind still conscious of what he was doing and that little part shook it's head at his stupidity.

The last thing Skah wanted to do was look like an idiot in front of his brother whom he had idolized his entire life. But then again he was already stumbling along with his head and neck resting along his brother's spine. Probably stepping on his hind paws every so often. Honestly Skah had no idea what was going on. He needed Shai to speak, to ground him further to the here and now. He needed to stay awake more then anything else.
