The soothing winds which often whisked across the valley where the mighty duo held residence ruffled through Kintyre's cocoa locks as she rested, curled up in thought and boredom. Still listening in on the sounds around her, the crackle of fire still going and the soft shuffles of Honey rolling around on her makeshift bed made of grass and various plants.
Though her mind had slowly began to slip, she swore she could see her father, hear Mother barking orders, or even see the distant figure of her childhood days with her brother as they saved puppies from a bush's grasp. Her hazel stare flickered to and fro nervously as she fought with the illusions of her mind. The once calming wind, though it had not changed, now felt harsh and cold against Kintyre's skin.
And then she felt a presence.
The young woman's mind retreated from the sudden onset of slumber and alerted Kintyre, causing her to become more aware of what was going on around her. She dare not open her eyes... feeling like a lost child again, in the dark, scared of the monster in her closet. But if there really was something--someone--here, it would not go unnotic-
A shuffle of the rocks on the dirt road, and Honey began to growl and bark furiously. Kintyre shot up immediately and opened her eyes, rubbed them quickly as her heart pounded. The first thing that came to her mind was that one of the feral mutts had found her..but if that was so, why wasn't Honey attacking? Although her sight was still rather fuzzy, Kintyre quickly shifted her gaze and looked in the direction of the source to Honey's vicious, unsure commotion. Yes, there was someone there. She caught the outline of a dark figure, the 'silhouette' of another human. Part of her was relieved, but then again... you never know.
Kintyre hushed her faithful companion and breathed heavily, shaken. Not saying a word as the two had their western standoff. Kintyre wasn't afraid of seeing another one of her species for once, she was just fearful of being attacked.. and she had to admit, she DID play a lot of Fallout before the actual fall of the planet.
She knew there would be others looking to attack others for their supplies... and more specifically, her dog.
