The woman's heart-rate was too high; she felt as if her heart would rip free of her body, perhaps plunge in to the lake and desecrate it. Her breathing was so quick and labored that she was oblivious to everything around her - all she heard was her own heart beating, her own breath going in and out, in and out, and the pounding in her head. But soon Tavi is not alone. Whether she is aware of it or not, there is a stranger in her midst - someone who lurks too close for comfort. She doesn't notice him until he is too close. He is reaching for her and she, finally taking notice, is on her feet and spinning to face him before any harm can further befall her. She is weak, though. Disoriented from the blood loss. Instead of defending herself (though her teeth do shine), she stumbles back and slides an errant paw in to the lake. The cold of it shocks her more than the appearance of the wolf; she lets out a yip of surprise and scampers forward a few steps, drawing closer to the stranger despite not wishing to. Tavi's body is rigid as she settles, her fur standing on-end in an attempt to dissuade further attack -- and then she realizes that this is not a coast wolf at all. This is a Dragon, but that does little to calm her nerves.

You're far from home, she comments through her teeth, unable to enunciate due to how tense and afraid she is. Still, words leak from her, staining the air the way her blood stains everything else, Dragon. She would have said more; she wanted to say something, and not just give way with him so close. What did he intend to do? But it was a question she could not ask - Tavi was swaying as she spoke, and now she was collapsing upon the soil, another dizzy spell taking her down before the stranger had a chance to.
