The other night, when the bath went cold and she still hadn't appeared like I expected, I made use of her access card. Only to find Kyrie Voss passed out on her kitchen floor in her wolf form.
Assuming that it was attempting my ridiculous request which had exhausted her… yes, I figured it out quite immediately! While absolutely not hyperventilating and dashing forward. Nor without both hands ready to use the medical scan on her, before I realized she was breathing normally.
So the responsible thing had been making sure she got to bed safely - without annexing her or risking doing so. And then Vrika had simply... refused to leave. Pitiful, whining howls.
It begged to stay so strongly that I just settled in next to her presence like we had every right to be there. Like it *wasn't* weird at all to sleep next to a white wolf I just dragged through an apartment and hauled onto a bed.
