The ringing soon turned to buzzing. He was real, just as real as she doubted he'd be. If Aurum had assumed that about her before, he'd be sorely mistaken. What she saw before she passed as a human would make anyone here tremble in disbelief. The world split open, the red fog, the Grey Men, the wildmen- it was enough to make Sam flinch now. Luckily, her mind was focused on other things, else she'd probably split open in a yowl again, panicking and splitting away from Aurum. Yes, lucky. Luck was something she never had anymore, it seemed.
Words started to come from Aurum again. She was shaking, barely listening. Carry. He meant to carry her back to town. Her eyes lifted towards him, staring widely for a moment. She opened her mouth, and when she spoke, it came out a hoarse croak, just a whisper. "Carry." She managed, paws shaking, pressing against him, kneading. He was still there, still there, he wasn't leaving. Another rustle, a sharp muttered word. Her name, yes, her name.
Her eyes swung towards Crow, still pressed up against Aurum as much as she could be. She croaked again, the rough, primitive sound forming his name rough enough. She didn't move, her ears flattened. He looked almost as tired as she felt, didn't he? What happened while she was gone? Her gaze lifted towards Aurum. Again, another rustle, another approaching being. A giant spider. She stared at him for a second, but the words that came from his mouth made her sharply bristle, pressing again Aurum.
No, no, he was going to take Aurum away from her. Wormy, her tether, the proof this was real, she was home and they weren't voices in her head. She pressed her head back against Aurum, her hind paws digging into the soft peat beneath them, the moss between her toes being squeezed. A fire lit in her, a sudden anger, and a snarl emitted from her. She managed to push off of Aurum, standing in front of him and hunkering down for a second, flexing what little muscle she had left. "Back off."
Not long after that, she collapsed onto her side, panting heavily. But her green eye, sparked with fire again, narrowed at Abathur.
"SPEECH"
