The Sound of a Heartbeat

Claudius is pretty badly injured, so he'll probably smell really sick and look pretty bad. XD

[/html]Claudius had become somewhat acquainted with many of the newer members of the tribe during the hurricane, but in the worst way possible. He heard news of the damage, who it had affected, and who had been injured in passing while he had been recovering from his injuries. In a truly irresponsible manner, he'd managed to injure himself so badly that he couldn't shift out of his two-legged form. Although he was now well enough to walk about the tribelands, it was with great pain and discomfort. Nonetheless, when he heard the call from the borders -- from the Kunikoti of the tribe, no less -- he realized that he was the closest and responded with a howl of his own so that they would know someone had heard them.

With great effort, he walked through the forests of AniWaya to the easternmost borders. He was lucky; the village was quite close to the borders, so the walk was not as long as it could have been. He had to stop and rest along the way many times, but after much time, he made it. He stopped again before greeting them in an attempt to catch his breath and stop his hands from trembling.

When he finally did find them, he was careful to walk slowly and not trip. The many leaves concealed branches and roots that were liable to trip him. With his left hand and his right shoulder injured, he wouldn't be able to catch himself.

"Huh-hello," he said, addressing both wolves: Everly and a burly male. "Huh-huh-who i-is thuh-this?" he asked Everly, with a slow nod to the other wolf. [html]
