Northstar Vale veer—zaara

oh, she was tired. sleep followed always a step behind, and occasionally it stuck its claws in her pelt and she slowed, blinking. but aditya was there to urge her along, and after a moment or two she'd pull towards and its great would loosen, and for a while at least it would remain at their rear. somewhere along the way, her twitching fore had stilled, and when they found themselves at the edge of that great valley, she stopped at was completely motionless. 

her gaze blinked toward him as he spoke, every bone in her body feeling heavy, listless, as if they were being pulled down that great ridge. she was motionless as he took her into his embrace, and while she was very much not fine, quite suddenly she could bear her state. "okay - I'll be okay, Adi."  she was, in this moment, and returned the embrace sluggishly. "I'm tired. I've never been this tired." she wanted to let her bones sink down, into the earth and the valley below.
