She woke up in the grotto, seemingly having trashed with Ingram for he lay suspiciously close. She smiled at his sleeping form, not believing it was her boyfriend she was looking at, and chuckled to herself. She stood up and shook her charcoal fur clean of dust after stretching for a bit. A yawn escaped her, one that popped something in her ear which brought an idea to mind. Since they were together now, they should participate in an activity together! Lotte and Arturo were nearly inseparable when they were together and she wanted to have a loving relationship like that too, but then for her and her own love.

To wake him, she planted a quick kiss on his cheek. Ya wanna adventure today? She asked after, her tail swaying happily.

She smiled back at him, frantically moving to have some way to get the excitement out of her body before she went nuts. She chuckled again, looking around. It was probably still really early, she had always been a light sleeper. 'Lright then, a bi' longah can't hurt. She purred, flopping beside him with legs stretched to somewhat pet him with them.

She closed her eyes forcefully, but after a few seconds she blurted; 'Can't sleep. With a laugh.

The longer his "sleep" went, the tighter she tried to shut her eyes, but it was no use. Chusi just couldn't sleep knowing they had a day all to themselves and though she didn't find sleep a waste of precious time, she just wanted to look at him and she couldn't when she was asleep. But Ingram gave in, her heart skipped a beat again, and she was quick to jump on her feet.

Deal! She nearly sung, sitting down to look at him get up.

Whatever Ingram saw, she didn't see it. She saw a handsome, grown up Ingram she would have never thought to run into again, let alone become his girlfriend someday. With his messy spikes and dangerous good looks, he was simply everything she wished to wake up next to every morning and all she could do was beam a smile.

With a happy bounce she followed after him, the jiggly bits no where to be seen for her. When she stuck her muzzle outside the den she breathed in the beach smell and released the air with a happy noise that could not be called a growl but also not a bark. Ever gone inland befur? She asked then, not remembering if he had ever done so.

Whatever side Chusi was on she liked best, for that meant she was near him. And today she would get the whole day to spend by his side. She caught up quickly with a few longer strides than normal, going past him with a grin. Now it was his turn to figure out which side of her was prettier. Ya missed ou'. She teased, walking to lead the way.

Why didn't ya though? She asked then. The coast really wasn't the prettiest place in all of Teekon, but it was home.

She wasn't completely sure where they were heading, but she knew there was a field here somewhere where scoring a meal would be pretty easy. She had crossed it a few times, especially when she was still living in Teaghlaigh, but it had never gotten the admiration it deserved. The snow was definitely thicker here, but the cold only made her want to be closer to Ingram.

Well, I took ya tah Teaghlaigh that one time. She remembered. That was sort of inland. The memory was vague, but she remembered him as a little troublemaker - something she apparently fell for, even now. Ya wanted ta score a meal, right? 'Know a field, rabbits'll be easy. She said, already beaming for the small field trip they were taking together.
