Cheshire knew that one day, she'd be subjected to these images of people dying, but she clearly wasn't ready for anything this gruesome. Honestly though? A part of her was glad that it happened to those folks instead of either of them. Still, the idea of her possibly being maimed thirteen different times if the guild master hadn't used her reality-bending powers truly frightened her. Add onto that the comments of what they'd do post-humously - well, she didn't have much to eat today, so what came up and out of her wasn't exactly food. Acidic bile fluids, most likely, leaving a nasty taste in her mouth when she finally calmed down and glued her behind back on her seat.[break][break] Even with her condition being the way it was, she noticed that Anniken seemed to be in a much rougher state than her. Uncorking their half-filled canteen, she'd pour a couple of mouthfuls down her own gullet, careful to not contaminate the rim of the bottle with whatever crap she still had in her sour-tasting mouth. She would then gently press it against the southern belle's lips, angling it in a way that'd allow for occasional small sips. Not one for hiding her emotions, concern was definitely plastered all over her face, but she knew it'd be best if they kept going, rather than risking the idea of them catching up.[break][break] "I don't.. know if this- if everything here's for me." Her knuckles whitened from gripping the wheel. The engine roared to life, and they would be off. Even so, she could not possibly shake the thought of everything she'd seen. How could she? When there's still brain matter splattered on the front of their window. "I don't.. know if I can handle much more of this, you know? You getting hurt cause of me, everyone.. dying like their lives don't matter, as if they're just a statement to be made- fuck, man. Fucking, fuck."[attr=class,punkiwofleft] [attr=class,punkiwofright] [attr=class,punkiwofextra]@ tags here [attr=class,punkiwofcredit]by punki

No, those were just excuses that concealed the true problem at hand; an incident that occurred years ago, when she was new to running the guild as the Godfather. The woman placed her hand onto her chest, feeling a throbbing pain aroused within her core. Ragged breathing followed, and she knew pulling this stunt too liberally would cost too much of her vitality.
Her body just wasn’t cut out for repeated use of these powers, not anymore—
Water? Yeah. There it was, a half-filled canteen was being presented before her face. The worn wolf turned her attention towards it, watching Cheshire take a few swigs of her own. Allowing her to press it to her own lips, she took steady, periodic sips of the liquid.
Cold—that was good. She felt it slither down her throat, and douse a few tongues of flames burning within her chest. It helped. The water assuaged some of the pain, and washed away the metallic taste in her mouth. Pulse. Pulse. Pulse.
Gradually, the pressure on her chest began to dwindle. However, Anniken still seemed winded from the ordeal.
Expression sober for a moment, she listened to the woman’s words. Of course, turmoil blighted her, she was uncertain if she could continue on with the business associated with truly surviving in the world. But that was no good—if she didn’t, the elements would eventually get her. And Anniken didn’t want that, she couldn’t have that. So, she did the only thing she could do in this situation.
She practically collapsed onto her, taking to her warmth. “Please, don’t do that. I need ya, Chesh. Can’t do this without you no more. Sure as hell don’t want nothin’ to happen to you, either, even if I gotta work this broken up body.”

The world these days, it was all about survival, no matter the cost. Some people reveled in it, some people failed to adapt, but there were those - like her and her family who made the choice to not partake in any barbaric raids and hunts. Granted, such a decision was only possible when they lived inside a community that grew their own food and produce. Living under the protection of a guild made them contempt, secure, and maybe just a little bit too soft for their own good.[break][break] Cheshire hated the fact that all these things were brand new to her. Yes, one might argue that the imagery of death and decay should not hold a commonplace inside the mind of a twenty-three-year-old, but there are so many others out there who'd seen so much worse, for a far longer period of time. Maybe she'd come to accept it in the near future, maybe not. It's obvious that the events of today rattled her already barely-existent confidence, and she just felt like she didn't have the chops for it anymore.[break][break] If there's one thing she did appreciate about the wildlands outside her hometown, it'd be the freedom of driving in an unrestrained manner. Not a lot of people owned vehicles where she came from, and if it weren't for all the odd jobs she took on, she might not have even seen one, let alone experienced what it was like being the one behind the wheel. It wasn't easy, driving with a fatigued person draped across her torso. She'd shift the guild master into a more comfortable position, resting the canine's head against her lap instead, freeing a hand from the wheel to her cheek. Despite the absence of a road, she still had to focus on what's ahead in their journey back home.[break][break] "Me being here.. it only forces you to use more of that power to stop me from getting fucking mutilated out there." The downside of having an imaginary mind were the images that came with it. Her voice came out shaken and uneven, her eyes were watery, and her ears drooped like flat pancakes resting atop her head. She was so damn scared, so fucking terrified of everything that has happened, she was already feeling the effects even though her brain's yet to fully process it. "At the rate we're- at the rate I'm going, you'd.. end up killing yourself before I'd even grow any stronger than I already am. I don't want that. Fuck, man, you know I don't fucking want that."[attr=class,punkiwofleft] [attr=class,punkiwofright] [attr=class,punkiwofcredit]by punki

If she had a little more energy, she would have placed herself in this position from the get-go. Or maybe not. There was an appeal to letting Cheshire do the work with that, that is, actively placing her head onto her lap. These sacred pillows were things sought by men across the land, and a situation people did not want to miss out on at least once in their lives. Having her head personally placed there was the cherry on top—maybe she was being a little selfish.
”Cheshy, the thing is, there ain’t a choice in the matter. I don’t mean that literally. Yeah, if you wanted to, you sure as shit could go and ride into the sunset and leave Shale Town and Odin’s Spear behind, I wouldn’t stop ya. But you can’t bury your head in the sand forever. No matter where you go in this world, it’s gonna be shit, and it’s gonna catch up to you. Can’t run forever from it, ‘cause you’re runnin’ from time itself. It don’t matter what I want, what you want, what everyone wants, the only thing we can do is press on and not run, that’s the only real way to tell the worl’ to fuck off,” she says, a bit of sharpness to her own voice.
”I’m not gonna die on you, alright? This power—this here is what it’s for. Savin’ people. The hard reality is some people gotta go for a lot more to live. We’ll do what we can for those people without killin’ ourselves, but their overseers? They gotta get with the program. I won’t die, ‘cause then I can’t protect you if I chicken out an’ just die. Becoming a martyr is just the coward’s way out.” Anniken breathed, her composure returning to her.
”Only thing I can give you is my word on that. The rest is up to you, and shit, I usually don’t believe in no one but myself, but you—I believe in you.”

This was a but a sample of the freedom she sought so long after, and to finally be freed from the shackles of life that kept her from advancing and growing - not just as a magician, but as a person - it felt so surreal. At the same time, she kind of did miss her family. They weren't close by any means.. there's just a sense of comfort in waking up every morning to a warm, familiar sight of the people she truly cared for, even if those feelings were not always reciprocated.[break][break] "And I know you're trying to help me get through this, you have no idea how grateful I am- the way you treat me, the way you love me.." Cheshire choked up at the last part and had to stop herself for a moment. She began gently combing her fingers through the other woman's hair, as well as those fluffy ears. If it wasn't for the nastiness that still lingered in the back of her throat or the fact that she's driving, she'd have kissed Anniken. Or.. well, at least on the cheek. Instead, she'd settle on a lame excuse for her watery eyes. "Stupid.. fucking dust got in my eyes."[break][break] After a deep sigh and a minute or so of nothing but silence, the expression on her face grew increasingly stoic. It's evident that the raven-haired feline was thinking things through, but she's a smart gal. She knew that if they kept going on these dangerous missions, she wouldn't be the one suffering. The only person who'd take the brunt of all her carelessness was Anniken.[break][break] "I don't care how rough you need to be, but you have.. to whip me into shape." She gritted her teeth and focused on the trails ahead, trying her best to not be overwhelmed by her own frustrations and anger. "It's the only way I can make sure you don't have to use more of your shit for my sake, and maybe we'll get to see each other when we're fucking.. I don't know, fifty? Sixty? I know, we're far too early in this and fuck knows if we'll get into a bunch of shit and stop talking to each other down the line, but god-fucking-dammit, Anni! I need.. I need to be stronger. I wanna help you. Not be a damn liability. And if it takes you kicking my ass to get to that point, I'm all yours anyway."[attr=class,punkiwofleft] [attr=class,punkiwofright] [attr=class,punkiwofcredit]by punki

It would probably fail, but it was worth trying. At the end of the day, she was terrible when it came to heavy feelings, and she was rarely one to vent and discuss them. Unaccustomed to conveying concrete feelings like that, she felt strange when she spoke about them, or made them known. So, she opted to focus on the less nuanced details she enjoyed the most—the moment. And in that moment, the feeling of fingers sifting through her hair, as well as catering to her ears, was what she chose to align her thoughts to.
After a minute of silence, one where she drank in the lull amidst harrowing gravity, she listened to Cheshire speak again. Hearing her initial words, her golden eyes widened and she turned her attention towards her directly, although she didn’t abandon her position on her lap. Anniken wasn’t a stranger to whipping someone she feels deeply about into shape. Reserving all the sisterly affection in the world for her sister, it still wasn’t a detriment when it came to training her. Even the last spar she had with her left her younger brethren bloody, bruised, and battered—but most importantly, it left her stronger than before. That was what mattered, the growth that ensued from the pain.
”…First thing you gotta do is acknowledge that you’se a lot stronger than you were when I first found you, otherwise you won’t get that sweet confidence you need,” she started, eyes elongating once more. ”If that’s what you want, I can do you that much. I respect that you wanna do that, and I gotta fortify my own guts for that—cause what would I be if I ain’t practice what I preach? So, sunshine, we’ll start as soon as we get back.”

It was a horrible attempt at an excuse, and Cheshire knew that. In spite of that, she had to commit to her act for even the slightest hint of believability, even going as far as to rub her eyes to rid herself of the feigned irritation. Of course, being someone who wore her heart on her sleeve and her thoughts at the tip of her tongue, this was her way of lightening the heavy mood, even though she probably ruined it all by pouring her heart out within the coming moments.[break][break] Honestly, it wasn't that difficult of a thing for her to do, admitting her faults and the fact that she did indeed care for this individual. The feline had to remind herself that a city of people relied on their leader as well, and though it might've been selfish of her to hog all of Anniken's attention, she couldn't help herself. The Godfather may have reveled in the love and respect of her people, but she shouldn't shoulder the burdens of dealing with every single problem of every single person in her sanctuary.[break][break] So if it meant getting her butt kicked day in and day out, Cheshire wanted to help. Her choice was between a life of loneliness despite being surrounded by so many she knew, or a new beginning that at the very least, there was that special someone laying on her lap who would risk so much for her. Maybe it was too early to call it love, for that was a bond that she feels is developed through time. But god damn it, she really, really liked Anniken. She just didn't want that to be her entire identity.[break][break] "I feel.. a bit stronger, yeah, I'll admit to that." A lifetime of shattered confidence cannot be salvaged within the span of a day, but she's also a grown adult who knew what she needed to do to get better at it. All she needed was a guide, a mentor to whip her into shape, to show her the ropes of not only everyday life within the wild, barren lands, but also the secrets of thriving in it. Somewhere down the line, there'd come a time where she'd inevitably have to get her hands dirty. Until then, she wanted to be in capable hands, and who's hands proved more capable than the touch of a lover? "Tomorrow. Anni, you need to rest. I mean, yeah, you can still whoop my butt all around town in a half-dead state like this, I'd just rather have you get some sleep before you do it. I'll uh.. try to sort out today's haul, as best as I can, anyway."[attr=class,punkiwofleft] [attr=class,punkiwofright] [attr=class,punkiwofcredit]by punki

Confidence was good, it was a start. Acknowledgment of progress could do wonders for one’s self-esteem, which was necessary to wrest hold of the motivation required to continue pushing on. When she first found her, she remembered her talking about being far from strong, and not having trust in her own abilities. On their first mission out together, she managed to disperse some of that belief and get on the right track. With the intended agenda after today, she imagined she would be making leaps and bounds to success.
Going on to talk about her need for rest, she chuckled. Cheshire had a point there. Feeling as though she overdid it with her powers, she knew that she could have tried a less flashy approach and made the trip a lot smoother. Or easier on herself. Until she received better medication and other remedies to her own problem, she needed to take it easier. Right now, she could use some rest, and she was in the prime position to have some of it. Starting tomorrow, they would be able to start with some training regiments. It didn’t need to be direct combat with herself right away, it could even be against some beasts she domesticated, or other regulars of the guild.
“Yeah. Yeah. That’s good to know. Thanks for doin’ that for me, ‘cause I think I’m ‘bout to turn in,” the wolfish woman replied. “When you get back, tell the boys to move in with the plan. Tell’em I said go easy—or there’s gonna be consequences. I’m too tired right now, gonna just take a quick dog nap…”
With those words spoken, Anniken closed her eyes. If not impeded, or told to wake up at any point, she would sleep like a log on the way back. After all, had she seen anything provocative in her eye, she wouldn’t have decided to sleep in the first place.
