She is not the one Resplendence cries out for. She is a substitute, a shoddy one at that, for how her Kitten still seemed to shrink away from her despite all they'd been through together. Lakota does not mind too much, cannot bring herself to most days. It was easy to forget the hardened mare that lay at the heart of her, the foundations she'd created so long ago, in the wake of her all-consuming love for Murtagh. It had been easily re-established during the battle with the Goddess -bitch, her mind still spat - but she'd never been fully uncaring. Brash and rude, yes. Kind of a bitch? Check. But Lakota still had a heart, for those who cared to search for it in the depths of the mire of her personality. So when she saw Archibald keeping pace with Valiance, clearly harried and disturbed, she didn't hesitate to follow. Kitten had helped her during a difficult time, when she'd been heavily pregnant with Murtagh and embarrassingly terrified over Ktulu not loving him - not loving her for how little she saw of the mare back then. It was only fair that she be there, a gruff rock for Resplendence to lean on in her own - far more frequent - times of darkness. And if she'd somehow mended things with Archibald, well...it simply gave her time to revel in his nearness once more, for how she'd spent so much time with Murtagh as of late. She lingers at first, Aodaun missing from her side, always vigilant over his charge - her child. Surely he would have encouraged her further sooner, but she watches as Resplendence chokes and sputters, terror in her yes as words form on her lips but don't come past her tongue. Until it's too much to watch, and she strides forward on her delicate limbs to draw the brindled babe to her chest, neck drawing over the medic's nape and letting her fetch up across her breast. "Calm, Kitten. You can breathe, do so slowly. In and out now, it feels like you are choking but you aren't, you were breathing all along." How else could she have made it back to the Falls? Lakota doesn't care if she's infected, doesn't care how it will manifest inside her body if she can keep Resplendence from feeling this panicked agony. Lakota even if my ways are wrong, I keep pushing on |
