Shadow Mountain The endless search

Her eyes were still closed when he apologized, though Banner flicked one ear to let him know that she was listening.  She was simultaneously listening to the steady thudding of her heart and almost willing it to slow down.  Her breathing was measured and had now evened out considerably.  Thankfully her heartbeats finally began to slow as the rage emptied out of her.  That had been a close call - too close.

Banner opened her eyes again, her bright green gaze unfocused at first.  "Forgiven," she stated simply, her voice sounding as though she'd been dining on gravel for several days.  The small female cleared her throat and nodded her head.  "If you'll excuse me.."

She gave the dark, injured male a long look before turning around.  Not wanting to be entirely rude in her abrupt departure, Banner woofed a goodbye, though it came out clipped and hollow.  She shook her head again as made a beeline for the safety of the willow trees in Marauder's Keep.  It would be best for everyone if she hid herself away for a while - at least until she returned to a fully calm state.
