it would burn her as well - collapse

Worry had long since seeped into her mind since her new position. Was she sound? Was she stable? Was it right of her to have taken it? She hoped that she was right have done something like this. Her tail swayed back and forth and she had other worries too. For the children she had let stay within her home. Since the new beginning of Tanglewood she had not seen Ares. The child seemed almost elusive, all she could catch were small peeks of her. A tail here, a leg here, her eyes, and then she was gone. It worried her, the constant motion that she always seemed to be in but the woman hadn't been able to perceive her. She pushed her own worries away, those that pertained to herself and if she needed comfort she would find Moth, or Firefly to help her. But right now she needed to find Ares.

So she left her front porch and did not have to go far as she saw Moth. She was prodding at something and an intense fear swamped her. One she had never felt before as she saw the small figure laying limp there. Her chest squeezed and she quickly walked over to the area, gaze wide. The king cheetah felt smoke leave her nostrils, fire glimmering at the seams of her shaggy mane but she didn't care. It was here that she stared at the child. What could she do? She didn't know medicine like Moth did and she tried to swallow that fear, turning to look at Moth with vivid green eyes. "Is she okay? Will she be okay?" It was all she wanted really as she leaned down and attempted to drag her tongue across the top of her head.
