Ilia dying was not an appealing thought to Dark right now, but not wanting to offend her out of ignorance again, he let the thought pass with a slight nod. His gaze turned to the sky again.
"Can you see much in this inky darkness?"

She nodded.
"as if the sun was out...I don't know why...?"
She closed her eyes, feeling strange that she could see. Why was this? Last time she couldn't, and now she could.

Dark was a bit puzzled by her response. It was good that she could see. It meant one less thing standing between them. But as good as if the sun were out? It meant she might be able to see in the dark as well as Dark could, and that shouldn't be the case.
'Best not worry about it.'

She let out a gasp, getting up and running over to a small wolf that was laying on the ground. Her eyes closed as she hugged the the body.

Dark watched her run off, following after her slowly. He didn't sense anything amiss, but his senses seem clouded by something. It could have been his emotions for being around Ilia, but he decided to be cautious just in case.

She allowed a muffled scream to escape her lips, bigging her face deeper into the wolf's fur. She held to the wolf tighter, crying silently. Ilia was now in a small puddle of the blood belonging to the wolf.

Dark's hand found the hilt of his sword. The blood on Ilia was fresh. The kill had been made recently, yet he had felt no blood lust, no murderous intent. Something was quite amiss. His eyes searched the field for any sign of movement, but nothing stirred that had the strength to slay a wolf.
"We should go...there is something far more sinister then I at work..."

She shook her head, holding to the wolf. She cried, another muffled scream escaping. Her muffled screams continued to break the silence.
"No!"

Dark held in a sigh. Ilia was being emotional and irrational. He had once thought that all feelings were thus. That way of thinking had led him to a serious defeat. Still, the had to do something soon. Dark did not trust his senses anymore and was fearing the worst.
"What do you want to do then?"

"I...i can't leave her!...It hurts...my heart..."
She wiped her tears, standing up. She ran into his arms.

Dark caught her as she almost stumbled running into his arms. He felt the blood on her sticking to his chest. Dark could tell at once that it had been shed by cruelty.
"She is dead then?"
Not that the wolf could be alive after a blow like that, but Dark was unsure what else he could say.

She cried into his chest, a scream filling the darkness. She was hurt by this.
"she's dead!"

Dark was at a loss for...well, for everything really. He didn't know how to heal sorrow or comfort people that were hurting. Should he take her away? Should they bury the wolf? Should the hack at skeletons to work out frustration?
Still unsure and not willing to take any risks, Dark simply stood there and held Ilia as she mourned with sorrow for her friend.

She soon calmed down, sniffling and holding to him. She was hurt inside, but stayed silent.

Dark could tell that she was hurting inside. He could almost feel the pain in himself.
"What can I do?"
