-fade in on morning-
Crux wasn't sure when he'd last slept so well. He'd needed it evidently. Still hell of a morning to wake up to. He'd been dreaming, of what exactly he couldn't say, the details already fuzzy. It had involved Cryptis. That was one of only two details he'd retained. The second had been the pain, what had started as a dull background ache had slowly gotten stronger until he was awake. That part aside he still felt largely refreshed. He'd become aware of a stiffness in his limbs and had been about to start trying to stretch them out and ask Riya to fetch something for the strange pain in his throat when he'd realized he wasn't in his usual den. For a moment he'd hung in confusion. Then the events of the previous night had started to come back. The volcano, the lava bath and-
That explained the stiffness. He'd somehow managed to curl even tighter; limbs draping over the tiny form at his chest. Crux couldn't help the smile as he tucked his chin, watching the rise and fall of her sides. An ease of breath only sleep seemed to bring anyone. Shifting his head again, though he kept it on the ground lest he wake up the girl asleep on the base of his neck, he cast his gaze on the horizon. The sky was still changing its color, the sun just barely peeking over the mountains in the distance. Though his limbs protested being held so tightly for so long Crux decided he'd been through worse, literally last night, and did his best to avoid rousing Cryptis. Soon enough they'd both need to head home, no doubt neither's disappearance would be missed by their parents for long. But he wanted to wring every last second out that he could. Who knew when they'd get to be this close again. He really was in deep for her huh?
Updated 04/30/23: Still on indefinite scarcity, please do not remind me of threads I am behind on right now.
Crux has a 6 inch long burn scar on his throat, most of his art does not reflect this.
