She awoke to the sound of thunder booming outside, a faint spark of yellow lit up the world shortly after, casting rippled, diluted beams through the heavily flowing water that curtained them off from the rest of the world. They were luckily there was a little bit of height between their ledge and the pool of water the waterfall fell into, or they might have woken up to wet paws. She shivered at the idea of their little cave flooding, and snuggled deeper into Birch’s coat, finding that she was not at all cold as she had expected to be, waking up in a storm as she did.
Her time awake was short lived before sleep pulled her down again, and when she woke next there was sunlight streaming into their cave, dancing blue over the running water, which seemed to have eased its falling pace. She could still hear the rain outside, diluting the sunlight, but the heaviness of the storm seemed to have left. She yawned and as her awareness grew, she realised she had stretched out at some point in the night, and was tangled heavily with the giant beside her. Every part of him that touched her felt warm from the heat that seemed to radient off him naturally.
A little embarrassed, she untangled herself from him and got to her feet, stretching out her paws, tongue lolling down her face as she let out a splitting yawn. There was no trace of dampness left in her coat from ehr earlier run-in with the rain, and when she examined her ribbon, that, too seemed to be dried. She painstakingly laid the material flat and placed her paw on top, using her teeth in well-practiced motions to tie it into the bow that normally adorned her foreleg.
This done she nosed through her supplied and took stock of what was around them. Her tummy was rumbling, and she had no doubt the bigger brute would wake up hungry. Hopefully he didn’t view little wolves as appetizing on an empty stomach. She grinned, knowing such thoughts would never cross his mind. Still, she didn’t know how long the rain would continue for, and they would need sustenance soon. She stood on the lip of the stone, trying to pair out past the falling water as she debated leaping free of the cave and finding them some food.
