Retreat to Base [complete]
Character(s): Hex, Ana, Nei'ess, Simera, Hardy, Tyr, Rory
Content: The group gets back together (like a bad boy-band!)
Setting: The library
Warnings: Angst?
The way home was more a slog than anything. That fight had been tiring, and the realization that one of their group had already been lost was draining even more than the trek back to the semi-safe library. That, and their injuries didn't help much.
There was a tenseness in the air, a worry that they'd be set upon again by the pack predators, but it was either the stench of fresh blood they'd left behind, or the cats' recognition of the danger their potential prey had become that kept them away, even as they passed through Nei'ess' boundary.
The large library doors creaked open, ushering them into the musty cool and shadows of the place, and it was mere mob mentality that kept Hex following them, eyes still glazed over with tears.
