August Y13
Summer
The summer season has finally reached its peak. The sunshine is plentiful, the days are long and the air is hot and humid - but the evenings do not seem to provide the same relief that they once had, and remain somewhat stuffy. Thunderstorms have also began appearing more frequently, particularly in the rainforest and eastern region, though the rain is welcomed after a relatively dry season thus far.

You've never known this kind of fear

She ran. And ran until she couldn't run anymore. Bei had taken the chance when it was shown to her, though malnourished and weak she ran. She knew where to go. Knew that home was the safest place for her to be but the only issue was if they would find her before she found her family. Heart racing and legs weak from the run, having only stopped a few times to rest or catch a quick bite or drink before starting again never giving herself time to really rest. But once the familiar smells hit her nose, she cried. Leaving the Passage behind, Bei pushed towards the caves and buried herself in the tunnels until she knew it'd be safe. Night had fallen, the moon out but sleep didn't come as she laid against the cold ground shivering and coughing. Her thighs bleeding from the more recent injuries that had quite healed fully. Her paw pads sore and bleeding on the ground. Her mind flashing to the men who would force themselves on her, tearing into her flesh like animals. She wasn't the same Bei who had been taken.

@Xerxes
Xerxes was, among other things, quite accustomed to isolation. A solid portion of his adult life had been spent alone or with the company of a few fleeting companions, so adjusting to pride life again had been quite difficult. His nephew being his little shadow had taken a fuckton of patience in the beginning, but now he was more surprised when he wasn't around than when he was. That didn't mean he didn't crave his introvert time, however, and the second Mars wasn't looking the grey lion slipped away from the bluffs to indulge in some him time.
Definitely hadn't been expecting someone to be there, though. Definitely hadn't been expecting to recognize the scent, either, but his nose had played tricks on him before and he wasn't sure he even wanted it to be right. Instead of striding forward, he loomed in the darkness and peered towards the cowering form of a lioness he hadn't seen or thought about in quite some time. He narrowed his eyes as he stepped into a shaft of moonlight, jaw set in uncertainty. He wasn't going to be the first one to break the silence.

Still laying on the cold floor, coughing and shiver, Bei found herself smelling another. By instinct she froze before realizing that she might need to hide but by the time that thought rolled around the male's scent hit her nose and she whimpered. "Please... don't hurt me.." Bei didn't realize that the man standing before her wasn't one of those that had taken her but instead was her childhood crush. Someone that - hopefully - she could trust. But right now, her mind was in a state of fear that Bei just didn't click the familiar scent and him together as she tried to hide herself in plain sight. "Please.. don't take me back there.." Her voice wavered and fear was evident in her words.

Xerxes didn't do very much outside of staring blankly at the crumpled lioness. She muttered something about not hurting her (he was too lazy to even consider it) and not to take her back there (wherever that was) and the Dieudonne had really nothing helpful to say. He was quite oblivious when it came to handling trauma that was not his own and he didn't even particularly know how to handle that besides turning it into more trauma. He doubted Aardbei wanted that, so he did what he thought was necessary and simply moved to toss her small form across his back. "Hopefullyback there is somewhere other than Wolfbron. That's where you live now. Come on." As if she had much of a choice: she was tiny and he was large. She was scared and he was not. Maybe Mars would annoy her for a while whenever she came out of.. whatever the hell trance she was in. Women were fucking weird.

Well this didn't go as planned at all. She had closed her eyes and was trying really hard to be hidden. But the male, who she hadn't realized was Xerxes, had decided otherwise and was picking up her fragile form and throwing her on top of his rather large form. She whimpered, terrified that she was going back to that hell hole. However, the name Wolfbron did ring a bell in her head and slowly she opened her teal gaze to see who the man was. Her heart pounded as she began to cry tears of joy. She was home. And now exhaustion hit her like a train and she fell asleep on the back of her childhood friend and crush.
