[ before even taking a step back towards the path, he could feel himself being pulled back into his thoughts. drowning in that overwhelming feeling of dread, wherein his mind would scramble to find any reason (all the reasons) to justify the feeling.
her gentle bite draws him back, teeth puncturing just enough to jar him out of his thoughts. the smile he gives her is strained, but sincere. he doesn't move his hand out of her mouth, allowing her to draw him along. ]
[Unable to walk on two legs, unable to hold his hand like other mothers, she still has this same sensation, and to make up for the tender smile she can't give him, she swishes her tail behind her instead. It's all right, it's all right. We'll go together.
It doesn't matter to her that it's not the best way to hold her head while she's walking, and is slightly uncomfortable, she holds his hand as long as he needs it. If she feels the shift of it as if he wants to draw it away, she will unlock her teeth and let him without complaint. If he has to stop to gather himself, she stops, too. Her guiding is sympathetic, she doesn't rush him, and no matter how long it might take them to reach the end of the path, she's stays, loyally and lovingly, ever his companion.]
