The 'Trial' was over.
Tallulah, in the end, did not know what to think. She felt sick. She witnessed death right in front of her, instead of being sugarcoated. Excusing herself from the other Elysium folk, she went to a secluded location within Elsewhere and hacked up the contents of her stomach alone. Poor little Dimitri, having witnessed it too. The other pups too. She felt better after emptying her stomach but now wished for a drink to clear her mind and revitalize herself.
Approaching the lake, she stared down at her expression. It was grim, eyes hollow like she hadn't slept. Well, she hadn't slept very well for the days that she left Fate's Respite, leaving behind Nick and her home. Further sleepless nights since she visited Duskguard. How long had it been? A week or two? Tallulah was keen to go back to the pack she had come to care deeply about. Even though her Pa was there now, she refused to curl up at his feet and weep like a child.
She blinked once, then saw a silhouette behind her. Valeska. "Ah" she sucked in a breath, her lips wet from drinking perhaps too deeply. "am I needed back?" She spoke clearly, traces of her accent remaining despite the clarity. She hoped not. She wanted to sit here and think for a bit longer, but if duty called... She'd answer it. Tallulah turned to face her leader, and some of her spirit and spunk went. The result weighed clearly on her mind. She looked too tired for her age.
