Stone Circle first, the ground rules get established

No worries! Last post from me - unless you want to get another post in, otherwise, fading sounds good, so feel free to archive! Such a sweet thread, you know I'd love another <3

A smile quirked at the corner his mouth for the second his mother rasped affection across his head, and while the expression faded like the day's final rays, the warmth of his content blossomed in his chest.

The sun. The denmouth glowed where the light soaked through, and he fixed his baby eyes upon its fading glow. A long ray stretched across his charcoal side and he shifted into it to feel the heat seep in again. The sun was warm, just as before, and as he eased against his mother's side, he decided the sun was probably even warmer than her. But while the sun gave warmth, it was fleeting. The sunlight didn't stay when the night stole the warmth away, and it didn't give the whirl of his mother's heart, the gentle rise of her breaths, or the peaceful rest of her earthy scent. Yes, for everything the sun was, his mother was so much more.
