Astik smiles softly to himself when he hears Tapat return he declaration of love. He does not doubt the pallid Larksong’s words but it is nice to hear all the same. A silence follows their words to one another but Astik feels it’s comfort. He is not bothered by it, rather, he adjusts his position only slightly, lifting his head from his paws for a moment to draw his tongue over a paw to sate an itch before his chin rests back against the too large, awkward things that he calls paws once more and closes his eyes, this time with the intent to let slumber take him over until their parents return. It strikes him, for the briefest of moments, that perhaps they might not despite that he assured Tapat that they would — but he banishes it as soon as the doubt appears. They will return he tells himself fiercely, fighting off the sliver of doubt. Eventually, Astik begins to drift off to sleep — how he will remain until Reek and Jhala return to them.
