imperfection- physical changes

[ASVINI]

// set after aurum's leaving

A cold quiet was settled in the house. Dim moonlight filtered through the windows, and it was a bit painful to sit there and rest. Her chest, sides, they were still inflamed and achy from being crushed under that house. But, she supposed, it wasn't as bad of a fate as the one that perished. Her eyes slid to the side. The dust that was beginning to settle around the floorboards. Her shoulders stiffened a bit. She looked away. She didn't want to think about it, because it was beginning to dwell on her shoulders, weigh her down.

Gone. That's all she knew. That her parent was gone, taking her older brother with him and selfishly leaving this child behind. Why? A bitter curl of her lips, ears flattening down. Was she not good enough for him? Was she an afterthought? An "oh shit I forgot..?" No. She would never be that. Asvini pushed herself to her paws, whining softly in pain. Luckily no one was truly around to hear her. She slowly wobbled her way outside, the soft squeak of the doors making her tense up just that much more.

She sat down on the porch, her eyes lifting to the sky. Her ears slowly flattened, identifying what constellations she could. It must be so simple, up there. Drifting stars, empty space. No air, no sound. No problems, no drama. It was almost laughable. A soft chuckle as she tilted her head down, then a groan. Her eyes squeezed shut, and her head was struck with a migraine. She cried out, gently reaching up a shaking paw to press to her eyes. Why did it feel like they were lit on fire?

// feel free to find her! she's on the aurum family porch, sitting with her paw to her closed eyes
