Blackfeather Woods this is what god did when he wanted to love you

Kove does not go away with the bristle of her fur and her quiet message ignored. The few steps he does take, closing in on the waterside, Shivali watches without returning to what she’s doing. Not that she’s doing much of anything, of course, but trying to ease the restlessness she’s been experiencing for days. While it is not her first season, it is one she’s wholly unprepared to handle.

Shivali releases a breath and looks down at the water, her paws cold as the water soaks further up her limbs. Instead of crawling out, she pushes onward and moves further in—it’s not all that steep to begin with—and tries to ease some of the heat rising in her body.
