Northstar Vale Not very pretty, but we sure know how to run things

He is curled around Mazatl, his legs draped over the small fawn body, protectively. He was awake all night, thanks in part to his natural nocturnal tendencies, and his night shift. He is exhausted by the time dawn arrives, and lays against the Nahuatl boy's body, tucking the male in the warmth of his larger body defensively. 

Athanasius, despite travelling with the male for all of this time, is still wary of his intentions. Though now he has his own boy to protect, Athan still feels uneasy. Even more so as their group expands, a new medic tagged along. He was German, and intensely interested in his and Mazatl's relationship. Athan steals half asleep glares at both Bastian and Bane, his eyes closing now to relax for a brief moment before he hears movement nearby.

His indigo eyes open for a moment, then his head rises as he sees Bane standing up. He watches as the two speak, but makes no comment, instead nudging Mazatl for a moment, rousing him.
