Blackfeather Woods i'd rather feel pain than nothing at all

Pietro was first to come into view, and the Scout watched him in silence. Cicero watched as the youth approached him, looking sleepy. He could not help but wonder if the youth was sleepwalking, or if he was actually partially awake and aware of what he was doing. A tickling feeling spread through Cicero's foot as Pietro licked his paw, and he looked at his half-brother as he slumped and seemed to fall asleep again.

Almost like a statue, Cicero sat and waited. There was no need to awaken Pietro yet, and so unless the need for him to depart, or the need for Pietro to be brought back to the safety of the den's confines would come, Cicero would stay here, with a pup half-asleep on his paws.
