A bit of Sea

永程

Yong Cheng shivered between Sirius and Bast. He would once have shied away from them; this time, he pushed into the warmth, soaking up as much as he could while the shock wore off and Sirius was willing. But, all good things came to an end. Eventually Sirius decided it was time to leave -- but he couldn't just leave his herbs here... Yong Cheng stared up at his leader, who seemed more fatherly than ever, and pleaded with his eyes to be allowed to bring them back. But, he'd abide by whatever Sirius said to do next; numb, Yong Cheng nodded and sequestered himself under the Warlord's bulk.

Sirius' height, which had once spelt the end of his freedom, now became his deliverance. The boy found that his ears didn't even reach the bottom of Sirius' underside, and from beneath the Warlord's massive frame, Yong Cheng realised how much safer he felt. Sirius was a walking, talking tank with teeth and claws. He felt again, rather foolishly, like a child hiding behind his father's legs -- except that he really almost was a child, and Sirius his current guardian.

"Okay," Yong CHeng breathed. There were feathers under his feet. He felt like he was about to vomit his guts out. "let's go."
