Dance upon my reveree

She would lay with him, unwavering as he suffered through his sickness. She didn't know how long it was she stayed there, Alpine within a fitful sleep as they lay together within the den. He was incredibly warm, and would stay that way as the day would progress. He would mumble little nothing's within his sleep, she would have sworn he called out to Fern. She would feel herself slipping away into sleep as well, but she would not leave him to sleep alone. So awake she would stay, hoping he would break through. Her thoughts would stray to Fern, and the losses she had endured so recently. How much she missed her family and how much she craved Fern's presence. She would sigh, scared that she might lose Alpine. Twig would stay, but as his fever continued she would try and convince herself to leave and get a healer. As she would argue with herself it seemed like all of a sudden Alpine would relax, his temperature dropping as she nuzzled into his fur. A sigh of relief would leave her lips as he settled into a deeper sleep. Caressing his features with more grooming she would feel herself relax again, he was going to make it through. He had the strength as she knew he did.?
