Raven's Watch how to be sexy with bugs in your teeth

Mallaidh sucks in a breath and tries to examine the three punctures on her shoulder. Blood cakes down the length of her arm in three relative trails of dark, dried red. She doesn’t hear the approach of another, only able to focus on her immediate surroundings to notice the increased scent and sound.
 
When Rose speaks, Mallaidh flinches up from cleaning her wound and staring out toward the girl. Pointed ears fall back upon her head and she lowers her head, awkwardly folding her legs beneath her. At first, the girl is silent in response, uncertain how to answer. Everything she’s ever wanted to say when she came face to face with Rose has all collided on the tip of her tongue and somehow, all she can manage is a weak “yeah.”
 
She sighs, lowering her head to her paws and ignoring the aches and pains through her body. “It’s a long story.”
