For a moment longer she remained frozen, looking at the rabbit, she glanced up at the male then lowered her muzzle towards the meal, ?thank you,? she said still uncertain, as she forced herself to break the rule. the taste of rabbit filled her mouth and was bliss to her mind she could not think of a nicer meal and she quickly began to devour the animal. All her energy for the last week had been devoted to walking to moving forward and picking herself up when she fell, there had been no time for hunting no chance of catching a meal even if she tried. The only meals she had had where the scraps of flesh stolen from old abandoned carcasses.
She was so focused on the food now that she did not notice the alpha until he reached them, she shyed away from the presence sharply causing one of the shallower wounds on her shoulder to reopen. Quickly she licked her lips trying to clean them of blood realising once more how shabby her coat had become since her injury?i am midnight,? she replied as she bowed her head low, before raising her gaze once more to meet his eye this was the same wolf who had passed through her haunt months ago, his size made him distinct from any other wolf she had met in her time, though he did not seem to recognise her.
She tried to stand in response to his question. She wanted to say that of course she could walk she was not some pup fresh from its mothers den but even as she tried to gain her feet she stumbled slightly . She had lost quite a lot of blood as she walked and a rabbit, good as the intentions where behind it, would not cure that. Now that she was ?safe? the adrenaline that had kept her moving forward had also evaporated. Midnight stood with her wounded leg lifted off the ground her other three legs braced and looked between the two males then forced down her pride, ?I'll.. I will need help,? she said her head dropping slightly if she could have blushed her face would have been red, slowly she took a shaky step keeping her injured, and slightly bleeding leg above the ground then lent her shoulder against gargoyles she may be weak but she would walk. She was sure she could manage that at least she thought she could. She just hopped it wasn't massively far to were they where going or she may yet have to take him up on his offer.
