Alarian had been curled comfortably against Lennon's back, unaware of his restlessness. When his companion got up suddenly he was falling in his dreams, and he awoke with a start just as he was rolling to his back. The boy hopped to his feet, fur fluffed in alarm-- was something wrong?
But no, Lennon was just pacing.
He tilted his head and drew closer to his love, pressing his nose against the other's cheek. Ali was about to ask what he was pacing for when he was interrupted by Korei's voice, and he turned to look at her. He felt compelled to answer, to reassure her-- but he had no answer. His gaze drifted back to Lennon, waiting for a response to the girl's question.
