Eyes closed, she fought the urge to pass out. She tried to focus on anything she could, but nothing seemed to help. Just before she was about to give in and let the darkness take her, she heard the soft crunching of snow under several pairs of feet. Lifting her head with some effort, she looked toward the sound, not being able to focus on much of anything.<br/><br/>As one blurry figure approached, she laid her head back on Warren's chest, eyes wide open. When the other figures approached, Kai stared at them as they reached for Warren. Had she not gotten the shit kicked out of her, she just might have lunged for them, but she didn't have the strength.<br/><br/>Then came the loving nuzzle she knew so well. Lifting her head once more at Karren's words, Kai made a small sound in agreement. Moving out of the way, she forced herself away from Warren and then to stand. She was okay for a moment, until she took a step and her back leg flared with pain, her legs giving out beneath her. Even though she tried to catch herself, she went down with a whining yelp.
