blargh...save mah wittle tawny! D:



Tawny was ready to stop running around, if only for a few days. She just wanted to set up shop somewhere and relax, much like she’d been able to do when in Ichika…except without the stress of wondering if she was a good part of the Pack. She was tired of wandering around in this endless forest, searching for something that apparently couldn’t be found. Wretch was there most of the time to stem her boredom and make things fun…but when the younger woman took off things just went to hell altogether. This time was no different, and Tawny found that she’d gotten herself into a bad position.

Thinking that climbing up to the thin branches at the top of a big tree, all just to get the biggest and prettiest leaves, hadn’t been a good idea at all. Halfway up her foot had slipped and crashing down she went. The small woman must have hit branch after branch, and eventually got tangled in a knot of vines, small branches and other foliage. She was still at least a few feet above the ground, and struggling just made her body become more entangled. Calling out for help would be dangerous, but like always, she was stupid and took a chance, thinking that no one would hurt her like those last times. Not everyone was a monster, so she’d be okay, right?

Parting her jaws, she let out a soft howl, hoping no one crazy would respond. After the pathetic howl tapered off she began calling for Wretch, whining and yipping both loud and soft. Being tangled up and held off the ground was freaking her out. Anyone could come by and mess with her…and she’d be unable to do anything about it! There were only a handful of others she trusted to be around her when she was so vulnerable and only one that was with her anymore. Wretch was her…best friend now, most trusted, and Tawny needed her.

Now that they were out on their own, she didn't see the value of being in a pack so much. Tawny and she could bring down larger prey animals with the two of them, and Wretch was in the process of trying to design some rudimentary tools that both canines could use for hunting purposes. This really was the life, just eating whenever she felt like eating and doing what she pleased. She had always stressed about certain aspects of her pack life. If she was doing her duty correctly, if she was doing well by Saul and Cerne Rise and following all of the pack laws. The fact that there were no laws out in these territories amazed her. Canines could do whatever they wanted. She could go and destroy a house and no one would be upset over it because nobody owned it! She could take things from wherever she wanted and add them to her personal collection. And she could do whatever she wanted to whoever she wanted and not get into too much trouble over it unless Tawny found out. She hadn't harmed any other canines since she'd left Ichika and had no desire to...but if she needed to, she would!


The girl had parted ways with Tawny to go and test some of the weapons that she had made more recently. She'd designed a spear that she hoped would help them bring down some bigger prey animals and was in the process of working on some smaller obsidian daggers and arrows. The humans had left behind some objects in the city, but not all of them would work for her purposes. She wanted something that she could throw at a prey animal from a distance...and the kitchen knives that she and Caspa had found together weren't really designed for that purpose. She carried a few of them on her belt regardless, but they were more for the use of preparing animal skins than hunting the creatures themselves. That is, unless one were to attack from the trees and jump onto the backs of the creatures.


A crashing sound nearby alerted her to some sort of prey, and she turned to head in that direction. Not very long afterward, a howl came. What the...perhaps this creature wasn't something she would want to eat after all. She mused a bit to herself as she padded quickly to the tree; she had recognized the voice immediately as being Tawny's, and was surprised to find that the girl had been so close to her friend's location! Had Tawny been stalking her, or something? She chuckled a bit to herself as she came nearer. Tawny wasn't too far up now...had she fallen or something? Hey, you OK? She called, frowning in puzzlement. What had her friend been doing up there, anyway?

took me so loooong



Tawny was tired all of a sudden. She felt ridiculous, so dumb. Constantly getting in trouble and hurting herself…all for what? This time she’d been trying to find something pretty to make a trinket with…for Wretch. It only made sense that the clumsy female would get herself into all kinds of wacky crap simply because she wanted to do something for a friend, if Wretch could be called just a friend anymore.


Lately the lines between friend and something more had begun to blur for Tawny. She wasn’t sure how to look at the silver coywolf anymore. Every time the younger woman was around she got flutters in her stomach, an almost sick feeling seizing her body and making it hard for her to get even the simplest of sentences out without feeling dumb. Now that same silver coywolf was standing right there, staring up at the brown wolf with a frown.

Grumbling softly, she shook her head and squirmed around more, limbed flailing around helplessly in the vines. I…I’m s-sorry, Wretchy. I fell. Shame laced her words and she began to struggle again, trying to reach for the small knife strapped to her thigh. The vines twisted and tightened, getting ahold of her neck and nearly cutting off her airways. After coughing and choking a few times she went still, body going limp and eyes closing tightly in fear.

She hadn't thought that the girl was that badly caught up in the vines and branches. Wretch's eyes widened as she watched her friend struggle for a few moments, unsure of what she could do. What was Tawny reaching for, anyway? She came around to the other side quickly as her friend struggled in the vines, tugging on them and trying to get them to release their hold on her. She saw the object that Tawny's hands were reaching for and grabbed it herself, hacking away at the vines until they finally released the other female. Wretch knelt down beside Tawny, her heart beating rapidly. Was she OK? How could she travel without her trusty friend by her side?


Wretch reached out, trying to smack the other female across her face to get her to wake up. What was wrong with Tawny? Had she passed out, or was she injured more than Wretch could see? She frowned, trying to figure this out. She had never seen a person who was passed out before and wasn't sure what to do about it. The hybrid looked around for something she could use to try and wake the other up. She remembered a small creek that she'd found a few yards back. In a few minutes she was back with a handful of water, and she reached to try and splash some on her friend's face. Tawny! Tawny!
