WELL IT'S TOO LONG LIVING IN THE SAME OLD LIVES
I FEEL TOO COLD TO LIVE, TOO YOUNG TO DIE
I FEEL TOO COLD TO LIVE, TOO YOUNG TO DIE
After more than a month of recuperation, Dominic could leave the clinic on his own; though perhaps a conclusion that had been suggested but ultimately he came to on his own. While his infections were almost all gone under Thackery's care, he was still undernourished and his distinctly red coat still hung loose and dull against his skinny body. Even with their businesses and his pa's ties, food was hard to come by and he needed more than the average stray to put the weight back on. His muscles still trembled at too much strain but Dominic wouldn't give up so easily - he'd gotten this far, hadn't he? The young dog didn't need to reclaim his former self; he would become something entirely new, that the city had never seen before. He would blow her fuckin' mind!
But first, he'd have to scrub the shit off himself.
Kindle had dotingly groomed him and the doctor had cleaned his wounds but the extent of dried filth that had caked to his skin required a much more vigorous bath at the springs. Even if he had been well enough to make it to a body of water, he'd been avoiding the task until today, he would go it alone. Dominic loved his family with an open fierceness, but even he needed his distance. Particularly now. Dom wouldn't let them know that each thought of water made his stomach clench with fearful aversion as he recalled the pressure on the back of his head while he choked on it. Dominic kept his experience and all it had resulted in tightly under wraps.
The rusty dog paced along the edge of the pool, his light eyes watching it bubble where the water cascaded from the makeshift falls to distract himself from actually going in. A few hairs raised along his clumped back in a subtle reveal of discomfort, though he knew from his childhood it wasn't deep. The spring was a miraculous existence, and maybe he'd marvel more on it later, when he'd worked up the nerve to take the plunge.
