Sleep finds her quicker than she cares to admit. Dozing off, she is oblivious to the movement of Strai. Even as the fire dwindles and Binti begins to stir, she continues to sleep on until morning.

~ Hours later? Time? Unknown ~

Stirring slowly, Delphi's eyes flutter as she comes to. Her dreams had been a mess of nightmares and other images that she couldn't make sense of. Both that hideous monster that had taken her tail and Strai had been in her head all night. Back and forth, warring over her, bad and good. It almost made her sick to her stomach thinking about it. Trying to push the dreams back down, she notices Strai's face right next to hers. Only an inch or so was between them. Blinking a few times, she wonders when he got there.

Lifting her head so slightly that it won't wake him, she can see that he isn't even fully on the pelts. Mostly on the floor with his head right next to hers. Almost touching. Confusion again pokes at her. Questioning why he would do such a thing. He didn't like touching so why come closer? Didn't he want his personal space? Her brow furrows. Torn between giving him space and getting closer. The temptation prods her harder than the confusion, but she wants to resist. Her belly rumbles with hunger and her legs ache to stretch. A grin stretches over her lips as she reaches over to gently poke him on his cheek with her nose. Not a kiss! She was just trying to wake him up with a little poke!

Quickly, Delphi pulls away, realizing how he might see that gesture. Her eyes are wide as her ears fold to attention. Should she say something? Feeling all jumbled up now, she scrambles to her paws and slides past him to head over to her stash of snacks. Hoping he hasn't fully woken up yet, she rummages around to find that there isn't much left. Her expression pinches as she lets out a sigh. "C'mon Thrall, I'm out of food," Delphi finally turns now that her heart has calmed itself and her brain isn't so messy.
