Soh nodded numbly, her thoughts far away, back out on the ice with the yeti and her blood coating the snow. If the yeti was as terrifying as it had been, she had to imagine that the guardians of the Greatwood and the Oerwoud would have been just as bad. Not that she was in a headspace to consider that just now.
Instead, she took a sip of her hot chocolate, allowing the warmth to seep into her bones. Perhaps if she simply sat here long enough, she’d begin to believe that she was alive, even if she wouldn’t consider herself well. Sah’s gentle presence was a balm to her wounded soul, and she would have been content to stay like that for a few moments if not for Frog.
The wolf pup inched forward little by little until he was pressed against Soh’s leg, and for a moment, she froze, unable to move and unwilling to break the magic of the moment. She stared down at Frog, listening to Sah’s explanation, and reached out a gentle hand in an attempt to stroke the pup’s head. ”I’m sorry,” she murmured softly, feeling a certain kinship with the pup. Like him she’d lost everyone she’d once considered family, too.
