"We're all fine." she scooped him up and put him on the bed before collapsing on it as well. "I thought Luka and Basil were alive. But they're not." silent tears streamed down her face, "I always think they're alive."
Superhero RP Anyone?
The wolf's rough tongue licked off the tears on her face. His clothes were still hanging on the wolf's body, loosely.
"Thanks, Gabe." Marya hugged the wolf. "You're real nice. And you should probably change back. I'll wait." she got up and left the room.
He barked shortly, shook his head, and laid down. In a manner of seconds, he shifted back to his normal self, lying on his stomach across the bed.
Marya knocked, "Done?"
"Yeah," he replied, sitting up to fix his shirt.
"Okay." Marya went in and sat on the bed, with him. "I'm sorry for showing myself while I was weak. Forget you saw or heard anything." her clenched fists were pale. "Just forget all of it."
"Showing weakness isn't always bad," he tried to reason, green eyes glossy with sleepiness. "…makes room for somebody new to come in and fill the hole, I think,"
"I'm a soldier, I can't show weakness." her hands shook, "But I keep finding myself so devastated." Marya sobbed, "I wish they weren't dead. I wish they weren't dead. I wake up, expecting to see them, but they're gone!" her tears rolled down her cheeks, "I want them back.."
"Can I hug you?" He asked in a hushed, patient voice.
Marya's mouth fell open, but she quickly recollected herself. "I-I.."
He hugged her mid-stammer.
Marya held onto the hug, biting down on her tongue to keep tears from streaming down her face.
His arms formed a sort of firm coat of comfort for her.
(I'm back! Recap? What has happened so far?)
Marya pulled away, "Thanks. I-" she wiped away some tears. "I needed that."
(I'm back! Recap? What has happened so far?)
I did it last time so now it's Owl's turn.
"I know." He quietly chuckled, empathetically.
Marya stood up, skin still warm from the unexpected hug, "We should get to bed now. Rest for our trip tomorrow to take you home."
"Alright," he exhaled. "I'm here if you want to snuggle a pup," he laughed.
Marya smiled, "In your dreams."
He snorted, "Ow,"
Marya gave him one last smile and shut the door, heading back to her room.
He turned over and burrowed into his sheets.
The night went by fast and soon morning came and Marya was up before the sun to make breakfast.
Gabriel remained peacefully asleep.
Oatmeal for herself and eggs for Gabriel. Marya nodded, satisfied with the breakfast. She came barreling down the hallway and knocked on Gabriel's door. "Gabe! Wake up!"
"Noo.." he groaned back groggily.
"Yes." Marya opened the door and went over to Gabe's bedside, pulling on his arm. "I have oatmeal. And eggs."
His eyelids fluttered, and he moaned quietly in opposition.
