Terra had managed to drag her body over to a nice sunny spot in the house. It tickled her body, nice and warm before falling asleep. Her chest rose and fell, slightly shallow for such breathing as her body automatically adjusted for the broken ribs, making her breath more gentle. It wasn't long before a scream shattered this peaceful sleep though. Wildly the coyote scrambled at the ground, knocked off balance. She bit back a yelp as her hind leg hit the ground, feeling like it had just been shattered all over again.
She knew that voice. Skoll? Asleep when he'd announced what had happened Terra just remembered the scream. Determined to protect the pup Terra moved as quickly as she could, her injuries appearing to fall away. She could move when needed, it just cost her a lot, leaving her in far more pain than from before she'd moved and driving her caretakers mad with the herbs and wrappings that needed to be redressed. It wasn't long before she came across a large golden wolf. Terra stared in disbelief as it sunk down that this was Skoll, finally shifted.
With the realization that there was no need to panic Terra sighed with relief. She lowered herself down to sit, keeping herself from appearing injured. It wouldn't do to worry the pup. Cockily she grinned up at him. Looks like you finally made it. Congratulations. Her tail swished happily, enjoying the feel of the day, wishing she could shift and help him with the new world he found himself in. Her first shift had been so panicky, Terra running as the tingles ran through her body, then forcing herself further with panic as the second shift made her move onto two legs. At least Skoll knew what had happened, and had plenty to celebrate and help him.
