Day one: How to romance your boyfriend

Mortis lay quivering on the earth beside the cliff. Blocking the path and bleeding from numerous nicks on his wings. He was a wolf with wings, and a fear of height that had bared its head after his almost-fall. It didn't register for a moment that Hika was speaking. Shame for his fear was crashing through Mortis, along with the dose of adrenaline and the quivering in limbs that still thought death was only a step away.

'...not on my watch' his friend was saying. Mortis knew he was blocking the path, but he just couldn't bring himself to move. To look at his wings, or even to check if Hika had gotten slashed by the brambles. He could only lie there, panting. "Maybe, er. Maybe we coukd camp here?" Not that staying any longer by this cliff appealed to him, but he needed time to work up. he courage to move. This definitrly wasn't going to be the night under the stars he was hoping for with Hika.
