Champagne Supernova

the quite of the night had returned with the passing of the meteor. It seemed strange to welcome back the calm now that they with them this strange, rough stone that smelled of heat and stone and tasted oddly matelic when it had rested in his jaws. She had thanked him again and he could see the tiredness in her eyes that reminded him of his earlier need for sleep. He would leave the strange stone now in her care and would settle down on the cool earth beside her. He would enjoy her presence beside him and the wonderment of the nights activities, but overall he would feel his need for sleep wash over him in a wave of calm and he would give in to it, resting against his best friend and enjoying the calm that stole over him in her presence.
