Duskbreaker had to remind himself that perfection was not something achievable. Desperately he wanted to do everything just right, but he always slips up somehow. He sees her blue eye open, and his ears pressed back even further. If only he was better at controlling this big body of his.

He stayed still as she stretched, blinking his molten eyes as he tried to keep himself as small as possible. Honestly, he did not know what to do at this point other than freeze completely. He knew not what she was thinking, and thought he probably should have exited to give her space. The male remained still, and feels surprised as she licks his cheek. The warm comfort of her touch given freely melted away his momentary anxiety.

His white, black, and brown tail tapped lightly behind him as a small whine escaped his throat. He pats a paw on the ground, and reached out to lick her cheek in return. Perhaps he simply worried too much.

”The light returns as the stars sleep. Does your body call for more rest, before the day fully wakes?” he asks, raising his head a bit now, tail still thumping behind him. He was ready to let her sleep as he perhaps found something for them to eat.
