Firestone Hot Springs even when he ate her tongue

She looked down at the tortoise shell and opened her mouth to speak while returning her eyes to Lecter's dirty face. Hawkeye decided against talking for the first time in her life and lowered her head to drink the concoction that the shaman had made.

Instead of red, her eyes filled with a dusky blue that blanketed the world around her. Visions of everything that had caused her anger and distress shot across her eyes rapidly, a clashing of voices and murmuring in her ears. The face of a bear appeared before her (although she'd never seen one &mdash or maybe she had when she was a small child). Hawkeye knew it was Sos, but wasn't quite sure how she knew.

Then, she saw Lecter. He stood still as she walked around him, not sure what she felt. Returning to the front of him, Hawkeye took a step forward brushing his nose with her own.

The dark wolf snapped out of the trance (not knowing if it was seconds, minutes, or hours later), nearly collapsing but catching herself. Moments later, she laid down on the ground, eyelids heavy with exhaustion that was more mental than anything. "Oh, Lecter..." she murmured. "If only we'd known one another in another life, I wonder what we'd be to each other." Her blinking had become sluggish, her eyes now shut and her breathing slowed.
