[QUOTE="Pinotage, post: 3893823, member: 15194"] She quietly moved towards Scarlet's side once she'd covered her ally Gurguannin in his own cloak. She fell to her knees beside the dog, and started to quietly removed her armor and saddle bags. She placed these quietly to one side, not caring about the rain or getting wet, and only once Scarlet was without any contraptions of man, did she pick the big husky up in her arms and carry her outside the keep. She returned almost an hour later, covered in dirt and her face ashen and showing signs of crying. What had happened to Scarlet's body only Avril would know, and it was clear she was not going to tell. Her bond to the animal had been private and sacred, built on the power of Nature. Her departure was a private matter between her and Nature's spirits. She spent the night wet and uncomfortable, but by the afternoon she was dry and seemed in more managable, yet sombre, spirits. The loss of Scarlet had obviously affected her, but circumstance meant she didn't have time to mourn. Or even consider calling a replacement animal companion. She would give Scarlet due consideration before doing that. Reaching her allies, she spoke, "We have a few choices, but not much time.
