Athabasca's heart raced as Koli trotted toward her, his tail wagging almost to a blur. Her own tail began to sway, slowly at first, but lively enough to show that she was truly happy.
"I'm so glad you're here... but pardon me asking..why are you here? You're not in a great state to travel such a great distance... what if you had gotten killed? I would have died if I found out that my foolishness had gotten you killed."
A small chuckle escaped her mouth and she shook her head with a smile, looking down at her paws. She knew exactly why she was here, but didn't know how to explain, really.
"I realized-" she began, but then hesitated as she searched for the words. "I realized there was nothing for me in the Salen, and that you are the only friend I've got." Athabasca's blue eyes fell to the ground in a rather discreet, almost embarrassed way.
"I thought maybe- I could stick around with you?" she said quietly, looking up at Koli in a shameful yet hopeful manner.
"I know this isn't the best time," she continued, "and I'm not in the best state to be here, but that's what I really, really wanted. And if anyone's a fool, it's me. So don't worry. But I'm feeling a lot better anyways."
The black femme dropped her eys again and was silent for a moment before stepping forward and licking Koli on the nose. She pulled back with an almost childish smile, something she hadn't done in years.
ooc: sorry I don't have much time to post, so it's short :(
