Honestly she didn't know if she understood just how things felt, how she felt. She could still see the sight of Romulus falling in battle, the sight of his opponent ... dying in such a way. Taking in a deep breath as her paws trembled with lack of strength, wondering if she had the conviction to push forward again. Her gaze took in the excited hellhound and she gave him a small smile. How nice it would be to be excited to be back home, home was not an option she had anymore. Not right now.
Lifting her head as a familiar scent reached her, the sight of a bedraggled Plexus making her heart scream in her chest as the woman struggled to bite back welling tears. How many hadn't escaped without injury? How many more were dead? What was the casualty count? It was a fight not to step forward and take in Plexus' scent. Her sense of smell had never truly recovered from the fire.
Inhaling with a sniff, she took in the utterly broken Guru and with trembling whiskers, "Plexus. How bad is it? I'm... I'm sorry about Romulus. About all of this. Please, let me help. I'll help where I can, wherever you need me.", her voice quivered as she spoke Romulus' name, the lioness' ears laying against her head. Would apologies be enough to make up for her failure to protect him? "I'm sorry I wasn't able to keep Romulus safe.", she knew it wasn't a job she had or was under any oath but when you loved someone, you vowed to protect them until you couldn't.
"Please tell me where you need me. I won't let this tragedy take anyone else."
