It felt worse for her to even try to open her mouth again to say words to her friend. The wolfdog had nodded at her words to not worry about saying something earlier, even though in her gut she knew she should have. She rested her head on her paws and watched as Liri walked away again, not even sure if she'd be alive when she got back. It had felt as though a mountain rest on her back as she lay there breathing ever so shallowly. 

As Liri was gone the wolfdog drug herself farther into the den as the sun had burdened her with light where she had been laying. The light had hurt her mucous invaded eyes and pain shot through her. She turned her body away from the entrance of the den making sure that all she could see was darkness. It was ironic how usually she would bask in the sunlight, happy and loving life, but now she is covered in the darkness only wishing the next breath would be her last. 

Pawsteps had came to the den and Liri had brought her back some moss soaked in water. Elixir was grateful that the pack had someone to care for them that was as good as Liri. "I...I..th..a...n...k...yoou" her thanks was between many breaths as she didn't want to cough around the Alpha, knowing it could cause her to get it at well.
