He settled in, kneading his toes into the dirt and giving a content rumble. Already he could feel the encroaching sensation of sleep. It collapsed over him like a heavy blanket, soothing in it's presence as he finally could relax. Eyes would close, ears anticipating the footsteps that would mean Callisto had come in. Instead he heard them retreat away, along with a muttered breath as his off was denied. Jakart eyes opened and he immediately took to his paws. She was heading away from him, the single words the female had muttered were repeating in his head.

It was fine then, they didn't have to share, thoughts racing as he sought to catch up to her. The fact that their journey had completely wiped the two of them physically. He wouldn't argue with Callisto, figuring that his own patience when seeing a safe place to rest after such a venture would've been taxed even under the best of circumstances. Sleeping alone must've been a comfortable norm for her ever since leaving Ebony. He understood that as he managed to head her off. The grey male would stare at her, questions buzzing around in his head. But he would only nod as a decision was made. "You can take my den. I'll sleep with my brother's." And with that he quickly left before she could deny his offer, making his way up the hill and into the den of Nako. He'd check on her in a few days, hoping that would be enough time for her to make herself comfortable in the Gully.
