Redhawk Caldera great sea depths

@Finley if possible? Backdated a few days.

Thuringwethil does not leave Wildfire’s side for more than she has to. If she’s pulled away for something specific, or need relief, or even rarer time to herself, she does so but her mind does not stray far from her injured mate. Even after a few days, she barely gets more than a few incoherent words but she’s there and she’s alive and it’s all they have to hope for.

She is anxious to get moving, however, but she is not sure what to do. If Wildfire does not wake up, she will surely perish, and the trip home will take a lot more effort than she’s been counting on—a lot more than maybe they can spare—but she takes a deep breath and steadies herself. One step at a time.

@Blixen is asleep beside Wildfire (or she thinks she’s asleep) and it is the only thing that allows her to leave. Étoille is not far with @Hux as guards but there is little to guard against in the lands of another. They are at their mercy and they repay what they take, when they can. Slowly, the woman lifts herself up on all four legs and moves away from the group for only a moment and never does she go far; the den and others are always within her eyesight and at most, within ear shot. The sun is high in the sky, heating the black fur along her back to remind her summer had come and gone. Winter around the corner creates more anxiety and she knows they need to go soon, whether or not her mate is awake.
