He was quite content to just ignore her, wrapping his tail around nose. Nope, not even her sly little age comments would get him to move. At all. Pale ears clung to his skull to try to shut out Vali's calls. He could hear her sliding into his den, mumbling something under his breath as she scooted closer. Growling at her joints comment, he rolled over onto his other side and peeked at her with half lidded eyes. He waited until she was closer before letting out an even louder growl, quickly springing to his paws before rolling over top of Vali, capturing her in his limbs. Letting out a series of growls and snarls he twisted them around until his back struck the wall of the cave. Leaning down he encased her ear in his mouth, pinching it between his teeth, gently grating them back and forth. With one more mumble he dug his nose into her scruff, breathing in his scent before a light snore sounded. Wrapped up in her warmth and scent, it felt like home. It was too comforting not to fall asleep.
