"nilia, it's been a while. you look nice. almost good enough to eat."
nilia lowered her head, ever so slightly, and a soft growl vibrated through the shadows. had ander ever heard her growl before? he wasn't sure.

"i know this is hard for you, nilia," bethany said, frowning in deep concentration, "but could you please stop pacing like that? it's getting on my nerves."
nilia stopped.

"easy, nilia! jeez..."
"apologies."
he expected her to let go so they could continue on to the wall, but the seconds dragged by and his hand was still enveloped in hers, a thin layer of frost gradually creeping over their interlocked fingers. "nilia?"

"you don't speak very often, nilia, but when you do, you say exactly what's needed."
nilia didn't know about that, but she did know that time was running out, and that they still had a lot of work to do.

"nilia, you -" he glanced at the wolves up in the watchtowers, chatting it up, munching on strips of salted meat. he'd have to be very careful with what he said. "nilia, i can't go hunting with you like we planned. because father, he..."
"i understand."

nilia was proficient in a great many things; fighting and hunting to name just a few, but the ability that had served her the best over the years was far less flashy.
sorrin was on the brink of losing it completely.

nilia smiled. "that, too."
ander couldn't help but smile back. it didn't last long, but the simple fact that he was still capable of smiling was more valuable than the smile itself. "thank you, nilia. i needed that."

"was that it, nilia? huh?" he said through gritted teeth, a crimson cloud of blood seeping through his wrappings. "was that what you were thinking i was thinking of doing? huh!?"
nilia only looked at him. she didn't frown. she didn't scoff.
