[Seems Moro's back from her mallynapping.  If you're roaming near the shore of the lake, you might notice a giant white object half-beached on the shore.

It's Moro.  And for those of you who have run into her before, you'll see that the once gaping wound in her chest has been closed up.  The fur around it has been shaved off, and from the scar it looks like it was cut open longer before being stitched back up, given the pattern of the scars.  And with her fur shaved in that area, as well as a patch on her foreleg shaved off, you can see her old, greyed skin underneath.

She seems alive, but she is most definitely asleep.  Prod her?]

Don't touch me, you filthy human.

I can't just leave you here like this.

[biteoffherhead]

Dulled though my fangs are, I can still bite you in half.

[wings-thatwait.livejournal.com]

Is there some reason you won't accept my help?

[biteoffherhead]

As if I would be so unwise as to trust humans so casually.

[wings-thatwait.livejournal.com]

At least let me pull you out of that lake? You're going to catch hypothermia like that.

[biteoffherhead]

Hah hah hah hah!

As if you could haul my girth from the water.

[crytearsofjoy.livejournal.com]

I could at least try! You'll die if you stay like that in this weather.

[biteoffherhead]

You humans are much more fragile than the gods. I will not become ill from this.

[wings-thatwait.livejournal.com]

...A god?

[biteoffherhead]

The humans here are so painfully ignorant.

[crytearsofjoy.livejournal.com]

You can't blame me because we didn't have anything similar to you in my world. Did the humans in yours treat you poorly?

[biteoffherhead]

They were disgusting fools, burning down our forest and taking the iron to make guns. Guns that they turned against us, and against the god of life and death himself.

[crytearsofjoy.livejournal.com]

That doesn't mean everyone is like that.

[biteoffherhead]

[A low, bitter chuckle.]

How like a human. To "stand up" for other humans. I caught humans defiling my forest. I spared those who had not, and turned my fangs to the ones who had. The ones I spared lodged an axe into my hip.

[wings-thatwait.livejournal.com]

Look at me! Does it look like I have an axe to attack you with? And why would I have a reason to? Stop being so stubborn and let me help you!

[biteoffherhead]

Be on your way, lest I decide to fill my stomach.

[crytearsofjoy.livejournal.com]

You don't look well enough to do much of anything right now, and I'm not leaving until I know you're safe.

[Her massive size and strength despite her current state, which she shows off by hauling herself up and baring her fangs (which look like they should be much longer and sharper, really).]

I am far more capable than you expect of me. I am tired and therefore lenient, but do not test my thin patience.

[wings-thatwait.livejournal.com]

Would you at least let me bring you some towels or blankets?

[biteoffherhead]

[She just growls, starting to stalk in the opposite direction.]
