Burn Bright or Cold will Triumph

Agreed! Big Grin 300+

Anu turned to her as she spoke haltingly and she felt so small and fragile under the other woman's gaze. Cambria was crumbling quickly, being eroded away like a beach against the constant waves of the ocean. Each thing that happened and each moment that passed with her sister still asleep and her mate still missing ate a little bit more of her. Whatever rejuvenation that she had gained from helping Princess deliver her pups into the world was long gone by now. Before the healing leader could answer her question the voice of her sister piped up and the Marino nearly jumped out of her skin in surprise. Her slim limbs shook as she looked at Amata. Burn books? The thought seemed almost sacrilegious to her and she nearly spoke against it, but she knew that they would have to if they could find nothing else. The books were not as important as their own well being.


Just as quickly and unexpectedly as her sibling had appeared and spoken, Oak's voice drifted down to them from the second floor. Tired and strained eyes looked up at the boy before he disappeared to go find them fuel for the fire. Anu spoke then, saying they would need paper to help start the flames again as well as to make sure that they kept the fire stoked so that it would not go out again. Everything seemed to buzz around her and Cambria could find no strength to do anything to help. She felt lost in a haze and she felt she would fall if even a soft breeze brushed her slender body. A lifeline was thrown to her though as the leader's hand rose and she asked Cambi to come and sit next to her. She felt guilty for not helping at the moment, but she needed that kindness and comfort more than anything right now.


The Medicus walked over to Anu's side and hunkered down beside her, pulling her blanket even tighter about her shoulders. Already she could feel fresh tears stinging at her reddened eyes. She only managed to spare Oak a semi-thankful glance before fixing her gaze on an undefined spot in front of the hearth, trying not to break down once again.
