I sighed. She still sounded a bit off, and I had half a mind to slap her. I resisted, though. I didn't think she'd appreciate that
Dressed? Fine, alright. But we have to hurry.

"We can always go out in our underwear, if that'd be better for you," Leazra said, clearly not thinking straight. Hah... oxymoron...

She did have a good point.
Right, right, just... be quick.
I growled, stepping back. Hogosha stood erect, white eyes scanning the room. It was odd, seeing that. Seeing him was even odder. He looked like he was dead, grim features had a ghostly aura.
Don't... don't mind him.
I muttered.

"Mind who?" Leazra said, sounding a little more awake now. And then she caught sight of Hogosha. And she jumped awake. "Where the hell did the wolf come from?!"

He's... he's an old friend.
I muttered, looking at him unhappily. Yes, an old friend. But I didn't like having him here. It disturbed me to see him like this. Only once before had I ever called him to my aid.

"An old friend, eh?" Leazra said, stumbling up the stairs to reach their room. She began to reach down to pet the ghostly wolf. "Nice to meetcha..."
And she also began to tip too far, dangerously close to falling down the stairs again.

Hogosha drew back, ears laying down. I glanced at him, narrowing my eyes. If he tried to bite her, I was going to kick his butt so hard. He glanced at me, eyes flashing playfully.
Wait... Eyes... playful.
That... that was... wrong.
I glanced over at Leazra, eye wide. Had she just created a bridge between the living and the dead?
I didn't ask, I knew we didn't have the time to.
I gripped her arm, pulling her back.
be careful.

Leazra flinched and was drawn back away from Hogosha. "Ow! Kakashi, that hurt!"
Kakashi had yanked the arm that had the bad shoulder.

I'm, I'm sorry. But we have to get moving.
I replied, letting go and drawing back. Fear edged my voice, and it took all my effort to keep it from overwhelming my mind. I took a deep breath, mentally calming myself. The situation seemed to desperate, though. It didn't feel like I could ever relax.
Hogosha leaned against my leg, the warm body giving my comfort. I do believe that Hogosha's warmth was one of the best things I had ever felt.

Leazra stumbled up the stairs, following Kakashi. She admired Hogosha's brilliant coat of fur and the wolf's eyes were absolutely stunning. "Where did you get a wolf like that?"

I smiled, feeling something like a proud mother. I'd never been allowed to show him off, since the only time we'd been together was in my dark, lonely cave. And that's also where he'd died. I felt like picking him up and hugging him till he died again, but I restrained my emotions. That would come later.
We just kind of found each other.
I replied, talking about my dear friend calming me.

Leazra, despite her rather dizzy self, was able to look up at Kakashi and grin faintly. Now, here was a side of Kakashi that she didn't expect to see. Someone who cares for a close companion-- a wild form of "man's best friend". She found something refreshing about knowing this about the masked elf.
She stumbled past Kakashi into the room, looking around for her clothes.

Should I go back into the bathroom?
I muttered, grabbing my own clothes and supplies. I didn't really want to crawl back into the dirty clothes, but I knew I had little choice.

"If you feel you must," Leazra said, stumbling for the blood-stained clothes on her bed. "I'm a little too delirious right now to care if a man happens to see my undressing and dressing."

It's good for you that I'm an honorable person.
I muttered, turning away and dressing myself.
