Maera's hazel eyes danced upon the woman's frame as she described her ordeal, falling down a hole, abandoning the Creek to check on them and having to wait out in the cold with an apparently broken leg. At the mention of this last part, the child --who had never had contact with an injured wolf -- jerked her head to inspect each and every one of the long pillar-like extremities the she-wolf sported. While it was clear one was not even brusing up against the ground as it should've been, she found it the thought of the seemingly good leg Bazi held up to be shattered on the inside.
now what did that remind her of?
The girl's eyes almost popped out if their socket as she understood that the reason that Bazi had had to suffer it all was to see them. But oh! What wouls she say when she realized there was no 'them' left to see? She was a one-man show now.
It would've seemed like the usually day-dreaming child would've allowed the brief mention of her now missing family to slip, but she was much more observant than she seemed. Her round eyes and goofy ears weren't just a decoration.
"You just missed them" she barked with an melancholic tone lacing her voice, "They went to find Lawus and a cat -- and flowers for me" she blabbered, not really wanting to elaborate on the tragedy but not wanting to let go her made-up explanation for it all go to waste.
"No. Ewie" she answered then, forgetting about her unspoken question and the pain that it was wrapped in to let her innocence and carelessness of the world take over once more.
