She had been scrambling after a woman carrying a small child, praying to any god that might have been listening for help.
The wrong god was listening.
She felt herself being scooped off the ground and utterly panicked. This was it, this was the end, oh god. She nearly wet herself--it was a lot easier to do in this form--but managed to twist to see what was holding her first.
No.
No, no, no, no, no, no no no. No. NO.
But, apparently, yes. For some utterly terrible, godforsaken reason, Jean Cernunnos slash Damien Lestrange slash whatever name he'd be going by four years from now, was walking through the park. And had seen her. And had picked her up.
This was the worst possible thing...
She heard a howling, in the distance.
This was the second worst possibe thing that could have happened.
But, small, confusing mercies, he didn't seem to recognize her. She'd kind of assumed he would be able to. If he'd been able to tell from a glance she could turn into a dog, couldn't he tell from a glance now that she could turn into a person? Perhaps he was just being condescending.
This was a strange feeling, being held close to a chest. She had been lifted before in the past, but always briefly, and as little as possible. Normally it was only when she'd managed to get stuck or injured as a young child. These days, if she got stuck, she was stuck there until dawn, because her mother couldn't bear the sight of her, let alone the touch. She'd certainly never been held against someone's chest. His hand was under her. Practically under all of her. It was... very strange.
She stared at him with wide eyes, trying to figure out if he was fucking with her or not. And trying to figure out how, in any case, she could convince him not to put her down and walk away. Because she knew Jean. She knew the mean sorts of things he did, and the nice sorts of things he did, and the confusing mean-things-that-felt-nice and nice-things-that-felt-mean in the middle. And she would take some torment over whatever the wolves had planned for her, any day.
Slowly, she opened her mouth slightly, and let out a somewhat quiet 'arf.'
