Twinkle Twinkle Little Flame

It was pretty late at night, certainly well after Fia should have been asleep, but while she was drifting in and out of sleep she noticed her little fireball start to wake up as well and she blinked open her aqua gaze with a loving smile. Reaching out a large paw, she gently scooped up the little pup and pulled her close to her chest, nuzzling the top of her head. Alastor was snoring softly beside them but she was having a hard time sleeping and so it seemed Fia was as well. After a quick glance toward her husband just to make sure the movement wouldn't wake up, she gently untangled herself and got up and nodded for Fia to follow her with a toe over her lips to show for her to be quiet.

Leading her youngest out of caves, they stepped out into the cool night air and luckily it was a clear night. With all the storms that had cropped up at the beginning of spring it had been hard to find clear days to spend outside, but tonight the weather was on their side. She led Fia out a short distance away to an outcropping that had a wide open view of the stars from the cliff side and settled down on her stomach, curling her body to make a bed of sorts for her little daughter to nestle into. "Can't sleep? Too many thoughts in that little head of yours?" she questioned with a little chuckle as she nuzzled Fia again once she was settled protectively against her side.
