(A Zero and Silver Production) The Unforeseen Stay

[Maero]

Ren stifled a soft cry as Hunter took her hand, and tried to pull away for a moment, the heat of his fur making her believe Mike was burning her paws again. But slowly she realized that this was not so, and then refused to let go. She tried to say something else but could not get past her sore, dry throat. When at last she received some water, she drank it all, every last drop, and licked the cup with her parched tongue. Finally she was able to collect herself enough to speak again. "Are...are you visiting me?" She asked softly, still holding his hand tightly, still curled up on the bed, having never uncurled. "Will...will you be leaving? Leaving soon? P-Please...please dont..." She begged him softly, all her strength going to just holding his hand.
