Will You Remember?

The massage was perfect. Bas worked out the kinks in her shoulders and neck and left the girl more relaxed than she'd felt in a long, long time. Though she appeared easy going, truth was that Aslatiel was usually pretty worked up. She stressed about things that she had no control over. That lead to tight muscles and an anxious mind.

Before she knew it, Asla was asleep. She hadn't planned on falling asleep, but there she was. At some point Basilisk had draped a fur over her. A kind gesture, but she wanted more. A people eye cracked and she spotted his sleeping form not too far away. Taking the fur between her teeth, Asla gently placed it over the sleeping hulk, careful not to wake him. She then curled her little body up tightly against his own, enjoying his solid warmth.

It took her a while to fall back asleep, but she was content nestled up against her guard. In her mind she still balked at the idea of him being a slave. He wouldn't be one for long. Just until she made him feel safe enough to be his own wolf. No doubt he would leave her then, but she will have saved him. Right?

Eventually sleep took hold once more. Heavily lashed eyes drifted closed. Head on her paws and her body curled into his side, Asla felt not only comfortable, but safe. That was saying something.
