:CCC sorry sooooorry sorry

Anatoliy had been working as diligently as he could with the sun beating hot down on him. Sweat was beading where his fur was the thinnest on his face, but he did not mind it as he toiled away. Occasionally he would wipe his brow clean and glance up at Anann with a light grin. But he would always turn back to the boat. It was almost done. Anann's voice cut through the air and she seemed to skulk away from the shadow trees back to their current home in the small town. He nodded at her in acknowledgement, knowing her life right now was not an easy one. Her pregnancy was coming in strong and she was surely feeling the pangs of it. But she had been scarcely eating lately and that worried him. He would get her something nice tonight and make sure she ate it.


He worked a bit longer, and then put away his tools. It was too sunny for him and he was growing more and more concerned for the woman who was back in his life. As soon as he entered the shadows, he felt the cooling relief it brought. But when he returned to the house, he knew she was not there. Her scent was strong but fading slightly from the day. She was not here. Heading through the home to the back door, Anatoliy walked around the town, smelling her scent more here and there. Something else was in the scent and it was a coppery smell. It unnerved him. "Anann?" he called out, almost frantic. She was not home, she was not where she ought to be. His worry was mounting.


Then he heard her call his name as he neared their home. He sighed in relief and approached her, worry in his eyes. "Anann.. vhat took you so long to come back?" He could smell the blood on her; it would be hard to wash away. "What happened?" he said with increased force, concern evident.
