Description

She's a fallen angel, just like pops, was her first thought. Maybe she's a demon. She looks and smells so different... and those eyes!
The fallen jaguar stared dumbly at Ioannes and her sister, those brilliant, twilight-colored eyes clouded with nonrecognition and the dull acceptance that came with long-term pain. Ioannes huddled behind Irena; the new sights and smells (no, not the blood-smell, but the stench of Rome) made her head whirl briefly with colors she had yet to discover, and she decided to adjust from a safe distance. Irena raised a big, tawny paw to the cat's face, waving it in front of her eyes so rapidly Ioannes feared she may strike the stranger on the muzzle. The iris, dilated and glazed over, strained to follow it, but even this required more energy than the wounded cat had available. With a noise somewhere between a grunt and a sigh, she closed her eyes, and her breathing slowed.
"... Is she dead? Did I do that?" Irena wondered aloud, taking a step back. Now even she was unnerved.
"Not dead. She's breathing. Look at her chest."
Indeed, the stranger's chest rose and fell in a shaky, shallow pattern. 
While her scent offended Ioannes' muzzle and made the little cub nervous, the need to help somebody so obviously in need shone through like the sunlight shining through the trees, illuminating the three foresters. 
"We have to help her!"
"I'm no an-an--"
"Anecdotist?" 
"Yeah, andidoticks, whatever. Do you want us to get dad?"
"Which one?"
"Either! They'd know how to help."
Ioannes shrugged in a silent sign of agreement, but the thought of leaving Irena alone with a stranger made her skin crawl. The thought of herbeing alone with the stranger made her skin crawl even more. Though Irena's senses were much less, well, sensitive, the glint of uncertainty in her eyes showed she felt the same.
For some time afterwards, it was just Irena, Ioannes, and the angel-or-demon whose ragged breaths filled the uncomfortable silence.
