Bramblepoint The hunger revealing

They set off quick, her paws burned at the haste, cracked on mountain rock and rubbed on frozen ground. Land covered through long days of walking, their most recent pitstop; this forest and the meadow beyond it. She laid on her side beneath a tall, bald tree, leafless branches reaching for the sky, while @Lorcan hunted. She propped a paw to the side so she could watch the small trail of crimson slide down the grooves, stain the white fur the tufted between each digit. She could fix it. could.

She'd heard a familiar howl in the distance, ringing from mountains draped in cloud-fog, she perked up, hoping that it was an announcement that he would follow. She hoped he would come for her, selfishly.

She was nothing but selfish. A devourer of all things; urchin with no conscience, fighting and clinging to every sweet promise. With Lorcan, she felt that she could embrace that parasite that cracked her mind and yet... She could not shake the pit in her chest that felt an awful guilt. She howled out, this rather pathetic, squirrely and unmistakeable melody, it ripped through the air and hopefully it would've called him to her path.

If not, it would tell Lorcan to hurry his ass up with her goddamn food. Letting out a sigh, she laid her head back onto the ground and tucked her tail in close to conserve the warmth she had, reptile that she was; scrawny and cold were a miserable combination.

Eyes fell idly back to her paw and the pretty picture it drew for her. She was hungry.
