Hoshor Plains two suns in the sunset

Sen cuts her off and the sudden stop makes her grind her teeth. Her legs want to give out beneath her but she manages to keep standing, if only because a stone settles deep in her stomach, sinking as far as it can go. Breathing hitches in the back of her throat and she eases a step back, lifting one paw but the pressure on the other three makes her rethink the action and put it back down. Something more sinister spills from the dark woman and Hiisi’s stomach lurches in response.

Jaws open but nothing falls from them. No answers the other might want, nothing she can think of. They snap shut instead. She shakes her head after a moment despite the urge to lie weighing heavily on her tongue. It might have gotten her out of this, the threat of having others looking for her, but she can’t force it to her tongue. Hiisi remains where she stands, slowly lowering herself a few more inches, hoping to aid Sen’s decision to go easy on her.
