Kissimi Cresis
"
Thank you for stating the obvious. Are you done?" Kissimi responded. Her tone was empty, but her words were agitated. The wolf wasn't moving, her breathing slower than it had been not moments earlier. It was upsetting Kissimi, a feeling shared by herself and her wolf friend. Even as she continued to stroke the wolf, her fingers twitched and betrayed her feelings of worry. It could be misinterpreted as worry about the boy's findings, but it was more for her wolf. She couldn't risk loosing such a loyal friend and that was how things were looking at the moment; patience wasn't something she had much of currently.
White didn't want to die. She'd been fighting for so long though and was starting to tire. She knew her human friend was in the same state of fear she was in right now. She couldn't help but think about the things she hated: Bane's nickname for her, her brother- who was known simply as Brown- and her human's apparent favoritism of him, the unjust death of their parents, the droids, the hunt for the Holocron that meant breaking every rule she'd been raised knowing, the Jedi- though White didn't know the Jedi's name- and its search for the Holocron, and most of all, Kissimi's pain.
It hurt to see her human in pain because of her own misjudgement. White knew she should have insisted that she stay with her brother to patrol. Perhaps then the knife wouldn't have broken skin. Perhaps her death would benefit the human. With one fewer member of the pack that was White, her brother, and her human, then the human would be fit to take on the child. All three of them knew the female child had potential to play right into the final plan.Meanwhile, the brown wolf had been trailing after Chase, keeping in the shadows. Now, though, he turned back, returning to Kissimi's side. He padded into the ship, passing Bane as he did so. He gave Bane a not-so-gentle headbutt as if to suggest leaving before flopping down at Kissimi's feet with a huff. He focused a docile but hostile scowl on Bane now. He had only returned because he knew his sister was fading and wanted to be with her. He hadn't returned for Kissimmi. He had definitely not returned for Bane. But knowing how Kissimi would react to the loss of his sister- anger and a burning moment of hatred before a display of weakness nobody else should have to see or experience- he would do what he could to soften the blow.
Brown had no care for Bane, but letting him get injured now would just mean one more mess for Kissimi to deal with after she got over the loss of White. Even the wolf prayed his sister would survive, but that meant Kissimi being left alone to try and heal her; both life and death required Kissimi to be left alone, he realized, and that would be complicated. If Bane didn't go willingly... Brown didn't want to think what Kissimi might order him to do...
Brown yawned as Kissimi stifled a yawn of her own, looking down at the wolf by her feet and petting his head lazily with the bottom of her foot. Neither of them could remember the last time they'd slept, even though it had been at least a full two days gone without sleep. Sleep would be required soon if either was to keep up with this.
