WC: 327 : 3 points
Jace didn't have to wait long before she was joined in the small cabin. The fire burned bright and hot, fueled by the dead leaves and pieces of wood she tossed in. She moved back out of the way as kami finally dragged Ookami inside the warmed shelter. Using her makeshift crutch to steady herself she shut the door, blocking the raging of the storm out from this little piece of safety they had fortunately come upon. Finally her fighter attitude could be abandoned along with her slight lapse of sanity, the fight draining right out of her, if one of the other wolves attacked her now she would be completely helpless against it.
With the adrenalin pumping through her veins decreasing, her body sagged willingly; taking it down towards the floor as she slumped to first her knees and then onto her stomach. Tremors running through her abused muscles, making her twitch spasmodically. Her broom-crutch was left against the wall in case she needed it again later. She rolled onto her side, forcing back the compulsion to simply let go into the darkness that crept in at the edges of her vision. She sighed and performed one last shift back to lupus, the smallest of her forms therefore the one better able to retain heat, something to do with body size to surface area ratio, she couldn't bring herself to remember it at the moment in time.
She allowed herself to relax, kind of ignoring the other two pack-mates for a few minutes while she regained some strength. Finally she opened her eyes and inspected the two extra that she and Ookami had collected on their journey. Her gaze swept over Adonia, seeing within the girl's pelt a husky ancestry that was much purer than her own,
"So i suppose you want to know how I came to be dragging Ookami across the packlands in this wretched storm". It was not a question but a statement.
