Stone Circle Be prepared

Steph wasn't much paying attention to what Murdock was saying, too busy squirming around playfully. She liked playing with him, as she did her siblings, as well. She was shuffled to his chest, and she happily snuggled in, her head propped up on one of his forelegs.

She caught the last bit of his words, but her lids were already becoming heavy, as her brain went  from play mode to sleep mode. Her tail did give a few light thumps before it settled, curled around her haunches. For a few moments, she fought sleep. But, between the chilled air and Murdock's warm body, she lost the battle in no time.
