ooc: We can end this if you want. This could be the last post, or if y'all want, you can post some more and I'll post the last one after you guys. Whatever work's for you all.
Ruri's half-folded ears perked and she smiled thankfully as she heard Firefly's voice once again. It would be nice to get off this beach, and maybe get something to wear. She didn't always wear clothes when she was on the ship, but occasionally she would wear a thread-bare, long-sleeved, sweater when the weather was cold on the ship. Jacquez had given it to her the day she learned to shift. Unfortunately it had been in their cabin when they had abandoned ship. It would have been nice to have right now to keep warm. Even though her slate and white pelt was almost dry, the ocean breeze still chilled her to the skin. Her fur wasn't as thick as a normal wolf's coat, let alone a wolf from up north. Her combination dog and wolf fur was accustomed to warmer climates. She was still puzzled as to why Jac had had them sail to this cold place when the weather had been so warm back home. Oh well, even she couldn't figure him out sometimes.
The short female was snapped back to reality by an increase in the aching pain in her stomach. She groaned and rolled onto her knees, supporting herself with her sore fore-arms. Then, her sides heaving, she regurgitated a profuse amount of salt water. The reflexive heaving in her sides ceased after a few short minutes, leaving her groaning again. The bitter, salty taste of bile and salt water filled her mouth, threatening to make her vomit once more. "Th-that...didn't feel good," she groaned weakly before slowly pushing herself up onto her shaky legs. Despite the protests of her sore muscles, the fragile she-wolf managed to stand all the way up, her legs quivering beneath her. Her arms wrapped around her midsection as if trying to soothe the remainder of the aching pain emanating from it. At least now she had most of the sea water out. The blind girl quietly stood in place, hoping that the two women would take her to their house soon. She turned in the direction of Firefly and Haven, her ears perked up as the sounds of their conversation reached her keen ears. However, even with her excellent hearing, she could not hear them. The ocean breeze had picked up to a steady wind, blocking everything but the jumbled sounds of their voices and blow drying her long, straight hair. She had to reach up with one hand and keep her long, damp bangs from blowing into her face. Even though she was blind, she still didn't like the feeling of hair in her face.
