Anything Beppe was saying, Maria was not catching or understanding. Her mind was too focused on holding her boy tight so he would never leave her sight. It happened once, when she broke her leg, and now again with the fire. Her fur buried into his shoulder as she settled on the ground and finally pulled away to say something. "Sono giusto. Lei è? Lei è doluto?" she asked in a frantic voice and her hands lifted to touch his face, focusing on that part of his body. The rest of him was foreign to her. He spoke of a girl, a friend, and if it were any other day she might have thought something about it but instead she shuffled back and tried to stand but did not have the strength to do it so suddenly. "Dobbiamo andare la scoperta lei," she said and then pressed her hands to the ground and forced herself up. The pain in her leg was rough but she ignored it and after finding his friend they would go back to find Ari.
