The woman reminded him of an arctic tern. He had no name for the bird but the resemblance struck him as soon as he looked at her — squinting with red-rimmed eyes.
He thought he heard her speak but his ears still felt wrong, as if there was an ocean inside of them. He tried to shake his head as if that might help, to rid the blockage, and as soon as he tilted his head his neck screamed at him.
The wolf winced and sucked in a breath. When the woman called for help the sound of her howl rang through Dubloon's skull and he ducked low as if to evade it, hissing another breath out through his teeth.
And then he coughed, spat, and sat there breathing raggedly.

Ahhh, yeh, ears still work.
