((Alrighty))
Alex looked around for the gray-and-white form of Link instinctively, only to remember with a sharp pang in the region of her heart what had happened mere hours ago. She clenched her jaws tight shut, growling loudly to relieve some of the grief. It was easy to ignore the pain in this form. Shaking her head, she set off alone in the direction of her house, breaking into a swift sprint when the trees got thicker.
Alex bounded up her porch steps, panting from her run and ducked through the dog flap she'd installed. Sid, her cat, hissed loudly at her before recognizing who the large russet wolf was, and leapt off the counter where he'd been perched to wind himself in between her legs, purring a greeting. His eyes glowed in the half-light, as did hers. "Hi, Sid." she barked, and padded into her room, where she jumped up onto her bed. She didn't bother to shift to her human form, as she knew she'd be haunted by nightmares as she slept. She closed her eyes and felt Sid leap onto her bed and curl up beside her, still purring. She drifted off to sleep, and didn't dream.
