“Lyla I’m bored” Elvia groaned as she headed up the stairs. The large black and white wolf was walking in front of her, leading the way upwards. Elvia brushed her choppy bangs out of her eye and sighed. The wolf was probably no longer listening to her complain and was most likely just as annoyed as she was. “Lyla are you listening to me?” she asked frowning.
The wolf made no response and Lyla abruptly plopped down onto the stairs, folding her arms over her chest. Lyla immediately stopped and turned around, making her way back toward Elvia. Elvia let her hands unravel and pulled the hood of her red cape closer to her face. “Stop that” she hissed as Lyla began to budge her softly. Instead though, she ignored her and continued this until Elvia got up and continued heading upwards.
“You’re so annoying” she muttered rolling her eyes. Lyla let out a soft growl and Elvia stuck out her tongue. Before she could do anything else though, she heard Khet’s voice. Lyla stopped and Elvia looked around confused. “Wha-?” she began but she was cut off at a loud sound and went flying through the air.
Elvia’s eyes widened and as she plummeted downwards. Flying debris brushed past her and she winced as something smacked her across her face. Elvia was about to use protection, one of her many abilities but stopped when she caught sight of Lyla, flying straight towards her. Lyla flew straight into Elvia’s chest, and after letting out a little "oof" Elvia instinctively wrapped her arms around the wolf, holding her tightly. After that, Elvia shut her eyes tight as she hit the water. She sunk down and could feel Lyla slip away from her grasp.
No!
Elvia surfaced quickly, gasping for air and struggling to keep afloat. She panicked slightly as she felt something coming up under her then realized it was Lyla surfacing. Elvia held on tightly to the wolf’s back as she began to swim towards shore.
As soon as the two made it, Elvia rolled off Lyla onto the ground and coughed a few times.
"So.. Status check. Who's wounded?"
For the moment she could feel no obvious bruises. “I’m fine” she coughed.
