Until There Is No Anything

Roan was out what seemed like the whole time Io was gone. He had woken up not long after she left with her tea to retrieve a bit of the bark that was paramount to his comfort. Not having Iolaire sleeping beside him, being alone, he had difficulties getting back to sleep. The thunder was lovely though and it soon lulled him back into the deepness of his heavy rest. After the long day of travel he was incredibly sore, and needed the sleep. Thankfully it was dreamless.

However, when he felt the warmth return to his side Roan shifted closer to consciousness. Though he was still nearer to sleep his body uttered a soft sigh, as though he’d been anticipating her return even in his dreams. The silver titan took in another content breath as the scent of her brought him into wakefulness. For the first time since losing Dapple the corners of Roan’s lips pulled back in the hint of a smile.

He was much more bold in his half sleeping state and shifted himself to curl around her much smaller form. Roan sighed contentedly again, though he’d been asleep all day finding dreamland again would be easier with her wrapped up beside him. He didn’t even realize or care her fur was still damp.
