~ each day death crawls into my body
”I have...to...find him, My brother...is...gone.”
She pleads and immediately Bahadır steps to her side, his ears flick atop his crown and his brow furrows. He understands the desperate need to find one's family. How many years has he wandered in search of them? Over time he has given up his search - especially since finding Bhaskara his half sister. She had brought a sense of contentment in his soul and so with her company he gave up on searching for the rest.
"I will help you," he promises gently understanding her need to find her brother.
And just as he speaks, her legs give out from beneath her and she folds onto the frozen earth. His brow furrows as he steps closer to her, his dark eyes search her exhausted face as she closes her eyes and presses her soft muzzle against his leg. "You must stand," he commands, he knows that if she does not regain her feet that she could surely freeze to death here on this secluded shore.
"There is no need to apologize," he breathes as he drops his head to meet her gaze "I will help you find your brother."
He presses his muzzle gently against the white of her forehead and breathes in deeply - her scent fresh. "But it is best that we leave this beach and head inland to seek shelter and then once your strength returns, we can search for your brother." he offers.
