Look, a Distraction! [lebrah]

Walk | Talk | Think Anais sighed heavily, feeling exhausted and spent. She had been with her mother again, attempting to get the woman to pull from her stupor, but nothing seemed to be working, not her pleas, not her coaxing, not even the pitiful cries of her young baby brother. It was heartbreaking and left her feeling helpless, hopeless, and entirely confused. Was there anything that could be done? Was there no way to bring her mother back from whatever depression-induced, unresponsive state she had fallen into? The young wolf's graceful paws moved slowly and sluggishly, her head even drooping below her shoulders as she willed herself to stay strong. It was all weighing on her too heavily. She needed a distraction. "Lebrah!" she called out, her tone falsely sing-song while inside she felt desperate. "Lebrah, where are you?" Of all her family, he seemed to be the one who could lift her mood the swiftest, could bring her back around to feeling more like herself in a quicker time than anyone. And he always managed to greet her with a smile, very rarely poking his nose into the goings on revolving her mother. She figured it all had something to do with his condition and welcomed it wholly, grateful not to have to think about all the sadness and loss and distress that she felt otherwise. He probably failed to realize how much of an important part of her life he was becoming; she was beginning to lean on him more than he knew. The grey-gold girl altered her course, her quickening steps bringing her closer to the den they shared. Maybe he was still here like she had asked him to be. She knew he hated being away from her, preferring more often than not to be stuck to her side like a burr, but she had also become knowledgeable of the fact he sometimes made solo trips as well. Where he went she had no idea and she supposed she would continue to remain clueless until she managed to follow him, but that was neither here nor there as of yet. Anais intended to scope out their den and the forests around it before determining whether she ought to think he might have gone on an adventure without her. |
