Rhaëlya had finally left her subspace... only to wake up in darkness and warmth.
Not fire warmth, but body warmth.
She blinked a few times until her night vision eased in and she finally saw where she was. She was surrounded by Crypt's tail, coiled below and around her, with his upper body resting on top of her like a protective lid.
'I knew his tail was long, but I didn't think it'd be flexible enough to shelter us both completely...' she thought silently while staring up toward him.
He wasn't touching her directly, he was acting more like a lid on top of a scaly mountain.
She squinted slightly, 'Orion, what time is it?'
'It's one thirty-two p.m.! The snowstorm has stopped and the temperature is -23°C!'* Orion chirped inside her mind, overly excited for someone who didn't have to move in such cold.
'. .the temperature isn't too bad. We're going out today.' She muttered internally, trying to shift.
