If I fall, get knocked down, pick myself up off the ground

Few occasions arose where someone called her name.  Much less with great volume and desperation.  The tiny Dealer caught it through the open window of the Sky parlor.  Little rounded ears perked, brows creasing in surprise and uncertainty.  Hushsound?

Could it really be the quiet wolf?  She had not heard from him since... Keona scrambled away from the book she had been reading and made for the door.  With a lashing tail she hopped down the stairs, grumbling once or twice as she nearly collided with a tavern patron, and quickly darted outside, nearly tripping on her own paws.

Her pale hues flashed, following her father's tug and slipping past everyone to the canine she sought.  "Hushsound?"  It was him, she knew it.  Thank the seas.  She hadn't known what to expect when he had fallen asleep the way he had.  So unresponsive.  She thought her friend was gone.

He had just required some time, she supposed.  For whatever had happened to him.  She didn't understand comas.  How could one live, completely asleep, for so long?  She just wanted Hushsound to be okay.

"… I'm still 'ere."
