Darkness and lone nights

Ooc.

Rio was almost startled as the other came out of his tent. He immediately saw how cold she was and wrapped a fur around her. She hugged it tight and took a seat on a tree stump at a good distance from the fire. He looked decent, so she wasn’t nervous. The only one she had to be nervous about was her brother, and her messed up family. She sat on the stump, rocking back and forth, wrapping the fur tightly around her for warmth. Her shivering slowly died down, but it was still there.

”T-thank you. S-sorry to wake you,” She stuttered when the shivers came. She wasn’t sure if he could understand her. His voice sounded a bit foreign to her, and when he asked her for her name she couldn’t understand him, but she heard something in there that sounded like ‘name,’ ”What? Oh, uh, Rio.” Last names didn’t matter anymore. He didn’t look like he would know who she was even if she told him her last name.

”Food? Uh, sure.” She was hungry, but she didn’t want to take everything from the stranger named Regen. He offered it, though, so she took it. As the shivering subsided, she became more in the mood for talk and asked, ”What are you doing out here?” He could ask her the same. She was just exploring, and became a little out of reach from her mother’s lands. She hoped she would be able to get back before Mom gave birth. She smiled to herself thinking of how her mother is still popping out puppies. No wonder her family was so big. She hoped to be like that someday, to contribute to their already big family. She got lost in her own thoughts imagining her kids with an unknown stranger. Her eyes stared into the fire, and she got lost in her own thoughts.
