Phoenix Maplewood All you need is some self-control

This turned out to be really cute omg. Archive? Or did you want to close it off? 

Unlike Reek, Tavi had no connections to anyone in the pack beyond casual acquaintances; she felt no closeness to any individuals now that Ukko was gone, and had even contemplated abandoning the maplewood like her swarthy friend. Prior to living among these wolves, she had been seeking her siblings -- but Ukko had inadvertently ended that search. She cared little about the opinions of the others in this place, and only really followed the rules because she was at an impasse, and hadn't figured out what to do next with herself. Digging this den had been a step towards settling for good, and she was mightily proud of it. But still, nothing really kept her here.

The girl was having a hard time keeping her attention focused on Reek, but as he jostled about for a more comfortable position, she was briefly roused. His words made sense, earning a low hum of agreement from her, and when Reek stretched out with his limbs she mimicked him. As soon as this happened, her head began to droop and dip, until finally her chin rested on her leg -- or rather, half on her leg, half on Reek's. He pulled away in the next instance like a snail recoiling for its shell -- but Tavi didn't notice really. She didn't mind the light thump of her chin against the floor.

She was well on her way to a proper slumber. Tavi heard Reek's final comment, but in her drifting state, her response seemed to be for a different time and place: Mm, goodnight, Ukko..
