Dreams Become Reality And You Are Still Here

It takes a bit for the earthen girl to wake up and, in that bleary twilight state, the girl gently presses back into the warmth of Lotus. Part of Terra thinks she is still in dreamland since she does not remember sleeping curled up next to anyone… ever. The soft voice of the tall boy calls her name, pulling away from sleep land and into the waking world. As the cobwebs clear and reality sets in, she straightens up, worried that she might have offended Lotus in some way by leaning back into him.

Lotus releases his grip on her and Terra feels a momentary sadness, the dark voice in the back of head whispering that she will never feel that touch again. But that isn’t true, because he had promised never to leave her and the earthen girl believes him. Something about him makes the girl drop her walls and fully trust him. They exchange pleasantries, and, as his smile grows, the girl offers a sheepish grin and ducks her head in shyness as she says, “That was the best night sleep I have had in my life. Thanks.”

Emerald green eyes dart up to catch his blue gaze and the smile on her lips warms. After a moment, she uncurls herself from Lotus, knowing that they have much to do today but still reluctant to let this moment go. As she stands, Terra stretches, long legs reaching out before her, the small pouch with her sharp rock gently rubbing against the fur of her foreleg as she moves. Once has loosened all her muscle and shaken out her coat, the feels ready to take on the day. Looking to Lotus, she asks, “So, what do we first?” Head tilts in silent question as she smiles at him.
