I'm okay. ( a quiet sigh, tongue darting out to swipe away the last lingering drops clinging to her lips and skin, and caroline lets her body shift. her forehead nestles into the crook of his neck; strands of her hair brush against the spot where her teeth had punctured, the same spot that was now almost imperceptible, werewolf healing doing the trick even if it was just at the surface. ) I'll be okay, I just need a minute.
( which... wasn't entirely true. and it wasn't a lie, either. it was just something in that strange grey area, the one that made it a bit murky to determine why that was the answer that came to mind. she could manage on her own in the shade by now, sitting in peace while derek went out to find her ring. she wouldn't faint or fall over or get hurt just waiting. but, all the same, she didn't want him to go. she wanted him to stay here with her, in this small space, the scent of him washing over her like a warm blanket.
if her mind was a bit more focused, she might have paid notice to just how comforting that scent had become. almost like home, in a way. but her mind was still a bit fuzzy, so the thought flitted in and out without consequence. )

I'm sure someone's found it by now.
( so no reason to get up, right? )
