The first one to find her would not find her in good shape. She continued to bawl, but she looked up, barely recognizing the disfigured woman who came toward her, benevolently. She was the woman who had been found on the borders, the one who had escaped from the bear, and no longer its latest victim. She reached for the woman, and continued to sob against her shoulder if she would allow, hiccoughing lightly as she took in Mireille's name. She pulled back.
"Are de ot'ers-"
She heard her name shouted, and looked up to see Etienne. She felt a flood of relief to see him, and scampered toward him. "Eti!" She cried, and for a long time, she clung to him, senselessly howling into the fur of his shoulder. When she was finally able to compose herself enough, she pulled back a bit and looked over his shoulder. "Where is Theo? An' Maman? An' Swordfish, an-?" She asked. She looked to Lilitu, tearfully. "Dey all gone wid Mireille? Dey all be safe?" She pleaded.
