Feels like dreaming

The door to the outside world opened, she could hear the sounds of the hinges and the flutter of fur and rainwater as Tayui shook off her alabaster pelt. Anu hadn’t noticed it till Tayui’s entrance woke her from her daydream. But it was raining hard, the scent of it filtered quickly into the small house and the sounds could be heard even beyond the door and the earthen roof above her. It was only another moment later that brought Tayui into the sleeping quarters. She stood in front of her, the outer layer of her pelt drenched from the rain. Was it storming? Anu wondered. She had not noticed the dark clouds that had arrived when she was out earlier in the day, but now Anu realized that she had been waiting for some time. She had been so lost inside herself that she hadn’t even noticed the passing of time.


A smile came to her face, an automatic response to the female’s presence. She stood, and gathered up the old tatter blanket that was so far gone with age that it would serve better as a towel then it would on the bed. Anu took the steps that separated them. The house had come lightly furnished, thankfully. The pack was so generous, gracing them with gifts upon their arrival. Anu looked at the pendent that lay against the soft fur of Tayui’s neck, the one that she now wore herself and signified their acceptance and commitment to the pack.


She was quiet for a moment. Though it was typical for Anu to be silent, she lingered in front of the other female awkwardly as she tried to find the words that would express her feelings. It was not brave of her, and despite that fact Anu felt like a victim of Colibri’s words, her requests and even her mere presence. Reflecting back on the meeting she knew that whatever would have been said or done she would have been hurt regardless, but Colibri had not given up and she pushed the knife deeper into her chest.


Better dry off before you catch a chill. She replied with a small smile, her heart wishing to be light and teasing. They both knew that Tayui was protected from even the coldest of temperatures. The rest of her could not back it up, and her eyes fell to the ground. Have you met many pack members yet? She asked, trying to open up the conversation to where she felt comfortable telling all that needed to be said.
