Dragoncrest Cliffs that leaves his body gaunt

a paw twitches in his sleep and a bit of drool dribbles out of the corner of silkie's mouth as it lulls open. he just starts to dream when he hears his name. at first, it manifests as a part of his dream. the bounce of paws on his stomach stirs him to partial consciousness. he blinks at kiwi who is looming over him but silkie lingers stubbornly in that half awake, half asleep state and remains uncertain if he's dreaming it or not. he smacks his lips together and closes his eyes, letting out a soft half grunt, half snore as he falls back asleep.

until kiwi kicks him with her hind legs. he awakes up — in full this time — with a start. "huh? wha?!" he draws in a breath, his heart pounding as his eyes wildly search for the culprit as his mind works through the disorientation he feels. hougeda is familiar even when it's viewed upside down and he flops over to his stomach with a grunt as his heart rate slows back to normal. he sees kiwi out of the corner of his eye; and while silkie doesn't have all the facts he's quick to pin the badge of 'culprit' upon her.

"i was sleepin' kiwi." silkie informs her as if she wasn't already aware of that when she'd pounced on his stomach. his lips part to speak but a yawn comes out instead and he stretches begrudgingly pushing himself to his paws. "i'm up, i'm up..." he assures her just in case she decides he might need more motivation to do ...whatever she'd woken him up to do. he's undoubtedly groggy but he's awake.
