Zakiya frowned worriedly, looking at Tama. "Just stay close to me, Tama." Now that they were both here, she wanted to keep them that way. But Korou was badly hurt, so most of her attention was going to be on him. She wanted Tama close by, so nothing would happen to him.

Bending, she gripped the ruff of Korou's neck gently in her jaws and lifted him, wincing at the lack of weight to him. She needed to get him fed immediately. But water first. And she needed to wake him to do that. It was a good thing there was a waterhole close. It's toward this she sets out at a fast walk, mindful that Tama might not be able to keep up with a faster pace.
