Daylight was usually when he slept, always finding a nice cave or dense forest to keep out of the sun. His sensitive skin could only take a little bit before he started burning, which quickly led to blisters. He didn’t get along well with the sun. He preferred its tiny wife the moon. So he wasn’t disturbed at all as Zola stood and made her way from their little camp. Merlin cast her a quick glance, but didn’t even make a sound as he snuggled back into his plush feathers and resumed his sleep.

Eliphas didn’t move a bit as she worked, and only when he felt her touch did he awake from his deep slumber. He startled softly, but relaxed as he looked up into her protective golden gaze. Dual colored eyes blinked back the brightness of day as he looked around unawares. He wasn’t threatened by the sunlight yet, but it was a good thing he’d been disturbed as it would be directly on him soon. He yawned heavily and rolled back over, he lifted his arm and pawed at her massive frame.

”Good morning, Zola.” He offered as he blinked back his sleep. ”Just a few more minutes of sleep.” He tried to convince her as he lowered his limb and closed his eyes in emphasis.
