Blacktail Deer Plateau Together

A faint cough came from Heartha in her sleep and Howl was reminded of how she had been coughing a few days prior. Had the supposed tickle in her throat stayed and not gone away or was this something that had recently returned. Howl couldn't not know for sure with his absence, unless he was to wake her. He didn't want to disturb her if she was sleeping, but if she was lightly resting then his presence alone would wake her without Howl's say so.

He heard faint murmurs, sleep talk comming from her. He though it was cute. They didn't, at the time, seem to be troubling her sleep and so he thought it might be a dream rather then a possible terror or nightmare. He took light steps further into the den and gently grazed her cheek with her forehead. Steping over her he then layed by her side, spooning her. His muzzle was in her fur breathing in her familiar, soothing scent.
