Cedar Sweep the whole world is sleeping

Whatever had been following them (hunting them as they should've been hunting it), the creature had been dispatched easily enough. Titmouse wasn't so much afraid of it as he was curious, and mostly startled by his companion's knee-jerk reaction. He hoped the other boy didn't notice the way his body was trembling (Its dark and cold! He would have proclaimed if asked). As soon as things seemed calm though, Delight was up and racing off - choosing to leave Titmouse all alone in the dark of the wood. Without any chance to convince him otherwise (as the older boy was fast, as if he innately knew this forest), Tit was abandoned. He snorted in to the darkness where his hunting partner had scurried, and then took off in the other direction - feeling utterly defeated.
