[ Out of her peripheral, Max watches the body lower to the ground. Eyes half-open and staring, mouth in a permanent gape. Blood soaking his front, from the hole she left. Blood soaking her jaws, from her own actions.
Her claws dig into the grass. While Basil doesn't gasp while he cries due to his dead body, Max does, and it surprises her. Max doesn't know if she can catch her breath, as hot tears cut through the blood coating her face.
Now, the instincts that have been guiding her all night are mercilessly quiet, leaving her just with her own disgusted thoughts.
Max can't form any words, as they get stuck in her throat and she has to breathe now, and that's just far too many actions at once. Her arm-wings wrap around her, as she keeps gasping in shallow, quick breaths and lightly shaking her head in return. ]
