Sleepy Fox Hollow Folk star

If there was anything going on between the two wolves before her, it was lost upon the simpering form of Brook. As much as she had tried to put on a brave face, this was hard. When he said that she would have to do whatever was asked of her, assuming she wasn't sick, she nodded solemnly. She had done things for Tortuga as well. Things she would rather forget than reminisce about. Brook wasn't sick, but she wasn't exactly well, either.

I ain't contagious, she said softly. Just hungry and haggard. She realized that those things weren't exactly a resume to die for, but what else did she have? If this did not pan out for her, she wasn't sure how much longer she would last on her own. The longer it took her to find a place to live, the less likely others were to let her live there. She wouldn't bother with introductions unless it seemed necessary. Brook wanted to save what little energy she had.
