He had been asleep. Had. When Vali's voice called out to him he let out a groan, rolling over and ignoring her at first. He was nice and comfy, he didn't want to get up just yet. The pups had kept him up late last night with questions and he just wanted a little more sleep. It wasn't until she called out again, once again calling him old, that he remembered it was autumn. That meant that Vali was a year older as well, and also in heat. Huffing, he curled into a tighter circle. "You're one to talk." He tossed in her direction, not too much louder than a mumble. There was no way he was getting up, if she really wanted to get him then she would have to come in here and drag him out. Bass was very stubborn, that much she should know by now.
