A stranger comes. Waawaashkeshi is not listening as she speaks, her mind far too loud with the words of her family and an inexplicable drum of paws - musical and harmonious, not like her own.
Her breath is heavy as her paws are swift, but she slows as she approaches the other. Her head whips to look behind herself, Keshi slipping behind the other woman as if to shield her own form from that which she ran from. Eyes wide, ears twitching, she cannot bring herself to relax the way she would have once.
She felt dirtied, misused, misplaced. It was taking far more strength than that which she posessed to avoid crying now that she had paused; tears pricked at the corners of her eyes, but they would not flow.
The drum in her mind slowing it's tempo, she managed to catch the end of the other's questioning.

What will I do?She repeats, her words wary. Waawaashkeshi is not sure she knows.
