Dhiate took a step back for every two she took forward. His ever-changing eyes widened and he whined pitifully as she lay down the fish. He didn't want to take food she had caught, she should eat it. He could last without it... At least he hoped he could.
Dhiate sat down where he was and wrapped his thick, luxurious tail around his feet. He would take not one step towards or away from her. He wouldn't be a coward; he wouldn't be weak. As he sat, he locked his grey blue eyes on her sapphire ones and refused to let the contact break, but he couldn't hold true to his resolve. He was forced to break away as his body shuddered and quivered in a severe fit off coughs that lasted several minutes. Tears pricked his eyes from the pain, and blood could be found among the black specks on his paws and the ground around them. He wheezed and he closed his eyes. He didn't know how much longer he would last in this kind of condition. He knew his brother would scoff at him and call him weak, but what could he do? He was helpless and terrified.
