Broken Boulder who wants to live forever?

Oh, my. Eris looked like nothing more than a breathing corpse. Fetid and feverish, she croaked only one word before falling silent, and Lily let out a small, concerned sound, rushing with haste to her friend's side. The voices telling her to STOP grew louder, but she didn't care. She pressed herself against Eris, trying to provide her with some--

What? Warmth? Comfort? She didn't know what to give her in this moment; she didn't know what she could give, that would be of any use at all.

Lily's throat tightened as tears came to her eyes, and she pressed her face into Eris's matted pelt, forgetting the stench entirely. "Shhh, I'm here," she whispered, pulling the girl into her embrace. Her stomach began to tremble with the effort of keeping sobs at bay. "I'm here, Eris. It's going to be all right."
