[AW] The Demons That Lurk Within

[Tallulah Colt]

"I wouldn't shift just yet" Tallulah's blue eyes roamed over the blanket that the woman held "it'll be colder without it covering ya, and yer legs will be easier to get over any snowbanks" While she sympathized with Coriander's need to go back to the way she had been, it wasn't logical at the moment. "I'll show ya how when we get to the Rest Stop. Promise." Because taking off her clothes to shift would make Tallulah feel naked, picturing unknown eyes on her. She didn't want to do that right now, in the middle of nowhere. Best in a secluded room with only Coriander to view. Besides, the twins may have an easier time explaining than Tallulah had.

With plans now, she felt better. Quickly, she kicked dirt over the fire to suffocate it. The flames died at the combo of cold earth and snow. She inspected to make sure they were gone completely before her attention shifted to the other woman again. "Let's go" she attempted to sound cheerful again, not offering her hand to Coriander due to a respectful distance between them "if ya need to stop anytime, let me know" she added, turning her back to ready Rusty for the journey. She grasped his reigns and began to lead them back to the Rest Stop, stepping around Coriander to lead her through the safest parts on the route.

High snowbanks aside, they tried to keep to the trail. The road less traveled could be done any day, this was much more important not to risk. "They'll probably have some better medicine there," she said over her shoulder "and light, so we can look better at your bite." Tallulah hadn't forgotten about that, but she was not as confident a healer as some would think. She may appear to be, but she didn't want to risk anything.
