pp all the touchinggg. And do you feel better? <33

Darkness spilled onto the forest floor, creating an imperfect circle as the blood puddled, its shape warping more and more each second. The heaving body underneath her stilled, and her screaming fingers released the white wolf’s mane, leaving a smear of blood on the back of her unprotected head. She had to force herself to look up and meet the other’s turquoise gaze, sudden shame flooding through her. Even though this struggle had been both of theirs—or all three of theirs—she wished she wouldn’t have thrust the responsibility of the kill on the Consul, not after she’d had trouble with her first.

Wishes did not bring back the dead, and Vesper didn’t want the enemy to draw breath ever again. She forced herself onto her feet, clenching her fists with a wince. Her injuries were minor in this final battle; her shoulder was clawed and her arm bitten from the wolf she’d dispatched with her sister and the Salsolian, but otherwise she was unharmed. The mental catalogue of her hurts concluded quickly, and with a shaky breath she marched toward the tall, mahogany-haired woman.

Here, she murmured, and wrapped her thin arms around the other, realizing that the whole of her scarred body was trembling. She wasn’t in danger of collapsing from blood loss this time, though, and her fingers ran through the other’s tawny coat, leaving ruddy stains from her bleeding pads as she checked for injuries. Satisfied that the woman wouldn’t melt away, she grew still and nuzzled Myrika for both their comfort.
