((Okay))
[color=#800000]Shines trembled a little, gazing down at the wrecked but still breathing body of Simbari. "If you want, you could take her to my den," she said in the direction of Kirsten and Cray. Her eyes returned to the gravely injured she-wolf. Pain was etched across Simbari's forehead. Even if they did manage to save her from the void, those scars would cling to her silky fur for life. I just don't get how someone could do this to another wolf...
Vermillion sighed, finding himself almost sad that she had left. His tough leather paws thrummed against the earth, damp and moist, smelling of the rain, as he turned to leave. As unnatural as those garish colours were, his coat soon melted into the shadowy trees and spindly bushes. His mind was absent, wandering to better places than this one. If anyone had the misfortune to look into his eyes at that second, all they would have seen would have been their reflection, and perhaps a dark fire if they looked close enough. The roaring sound of a river, gushing into the trees, pulled him from a state of semi-unconsciousness. Vermillion was mesmirised by the depths, like the layers of a presious stone, plaiting into the forest. He moved in, lying down on his belly, just the bumps of his glowing eyes and the damp, bloodstained muzzle tip out of the water. The river flowed around him, dragging him along downstream. The phraise "go with the flow" stuck in his mind, he let the flowing water drag him, tumbling over and lungs burning, downstream. Until his legs were so numb that they couldn't feel the pebbles scraping them. He heard, as the river neared camp, hushed voices not unlike what you would hear at a funeral. Vermilion dragged himself out, fur saturated, and trotted on numb paws to where they stood, over the ruined torso of Simbari. His breath caught.
"Simbari.. what happened? Who... what..?"
He hadn't known the beautiful she-wolf well, nor ever been attracted to her. But still, the wounds that tattooed that perfect fur were not something he would have wished on anyone.[/color]
