Ouroboros Spine Little Paws

Ajei swerved and headed towards the bank. Sunman had tried to teach her and her brother to fish and she wished to practice, but it was with surprise she came across Arrluk. The light and shadow of his fur startling contrast to the grass, but she was pleased to see him.

A wrinkle of little maw she moved closer. He slept soundly, ears and eyes twitching in sleep. Paws pointed towards the river they both loved. A small smile and though she wished to dot his forehead with a kiss as Ana did to her, because it only felt right. No one should sleep without forehead kisses. She didn't. 

Instead she settled nearby. Tiny red and white dipping into the grass, curl of tail around paws. And she'd watch over him until he woke. So he wasn't alone.
