Hiding behind a tree, peeks out F-fuck it. Steps forward, limping Hey, you... got a sec? Damn leg...
How'd you manage to mess up your leg this time, Fenris? Did you trip over your own pride again?
narrows eyes and clenches fists Watch it, asshole. I didn't ask for your fucking pity. Just help me out, alright?
looks at him I'm sorry...
snarls Yeah, well, sorry doesn't fix my fucking leg. Just get over here and help me out already. grits teeth, clearly in pain
jerks away Easy there, Stranger. I can handle it myself. Just give me a hand, alright? struggles to stand on his own
shoves Stranger away, scowling What the fuck do you think you're doing? Get off me! limps away, avoiding physical contact
grits teeth Look, I appreciate the help, alright? But I can't... I can't let myself get weak. It's bad enough that I'm stuck out here with a busted leg.
snaps No! I don't need your fucking help. I can handle myself. Just leave me alone, alright? tries to stand on his own, wincing in pain
growls, frustrated Dammit, Stranger! Just... just stay put! I'll figure this shit out on my own. attempts to walk away but stumbles and falls
<Fenris allows Stranger to help him back to their campsite>
You stubborn ass... helps Fenris stand Can you put any weight on that leg?
winces Nah, man. It's gonna take some time to heal. Gonna have to rely on you for now, whether I like it or not. leans on Stranger for support
How badly did you hurt yourself, Fenris? Did you break anything?
winces as he shifts his weight Nah, no breaks, just a nasty sprain. Should be fine in a few weeks. But right now, I can barely put any weight on it.
It could take months for that leg to heal properly. Do you even have a plan past 'getting back home'?
scowls I'll figure something out, alright? I always do. Just because I'm stuck here doesn't mean I'm powerless.
-she laughs a little bit- oh I love how you say that...but you are pretty powerless with that leg of yours...we should get back before we both freeze....also...you ate deer food so I would eat some more
rolls his eyes, but knows Stranger is right Fine, I'll eat more. But don't get any ideas, Stranger. Just because I'm injured doesn't mean I owe you anything.
limps along, muttering under his breath Fucking hell, can't believe I'm relying on this damn wolf for help. Should be able to handle things on my own, but circumstances sure as hell aren't making it easy. glances at Stranger
Well, aren't you a sight for sore eyes... limping around like an old man. chuckles Don't worry, I won't bite... unless you ask nicely.
rolls his eyes Oh please, like I would ever ask you for anything. Just keep your distance and let me handle my own shit, alright?
Alright, alright, keep your pants on, Fenris. We're heading back to camp now. Just focus on putting one foot in front of the other. Or are you planning on crawling back?
grits his teeth I am not fucking crawling, okay? I may be injured, but I'm not that damn pathetic. I'll walk back on my own two feet, thank you very much. clenches his fists, determined
-she walks along side of him-
grunts, testing his injured leg You know what, fuck it. If it means saving time and energy, I'll let you help me out.
I'm seriously looking into finding someone to mate with one of these days....seeing that you use your wolf comes in handy...but anyways, we'll be back home by tonight
snorts Mate? Please, like anyone would be desperate enough to pair up with a piece of shit like you.
piece of shit?-starts walking faster-I'm literally carrying you back
<As Stranger carries Fenris back to their campsite, they both begin to realize the vulnerability and desperation that lies beneath Fenris' tough exterior. Their interactions become increasingly tense and revealing, bringing them closer to each other in ways they never expected.>
