Pain lulled eventually into a fitful sleep, where she whined in her black dreams and every fidget she mustered threatened to wake her because each nerve in her body was livened like they had been set on fire. It was a wonder she could sleep at all. But maybe her brain was rocked, or perhaps the blood pooling in drips from a slash behind her exposed left flank left her feeling too woozy for consciousness; either way, Velox didn't fully rouse again until a booming howl just above her startled her body into wakefulness.
"Wha—? Ow," she croaked, wincing with another whine eliciting from her lips as she was jolted into the remembrance of her predicament. A soft moan and her rigid frame slumped before being suddenly accompanied by a large, snug frame against her bruised side. Velox's head moved slowly, her neck stiff, and she found herself peering at a rust and gold female, concern laced on her features as if she were a distant friend.
Inwardly, Velox was glad she had not been found by a larger predator or a more malicious canine, but she was still worried about her well-being. Not only because she was injured, but because she was pretty much useless at this time. How would she fend for herself in these coming weeks? Her hind leg felt broken—it wasn't—but the pain was no less insurmountable.
She opened her mouth to speak but could only wheeze slightly and choke back the threat of vomiting as her stomach churned uncomfortably with pain, distress, and fear. A shiver traveled along her spine despite the thick warmth provided by the female at her side; she might have conversed with her, but Velox simply couldn't muster the strength. But to show her appreciation, she tilted her slender muzzle with a small, bleeding scratch on it (that she wasn't aware of) and pressed it gently into the stranger's shoulder.
Out of the corner of her blue eye, she could see two other figures coming to stand nearby. Disoriented still, Velox did not understand the words right away or find within herself the capacity to respond.
