Whitefish River When the thunder calls for me

Relief slowed her heart back to a more normal rate when he agreed to stay with her, and she nodded, getting to her feet to follow him wherever he was going. 

He settled next to a tree, and Speedy limped over to the side that would allow the sun to warm her fur and curled up against him. When he spoke again, she smiled, comforted further by the implication that he was staying until she woke; she had only asked for him to stay until she fell asleep but secretly, she was glad he would be there when she woke up.

Deal, she answered with a yawn, snuggling closer. The sun and his soothing presence mixed with her complete exhaustion quickly made her eyelids heavy and seconds after laying her head on her paws, her eyes closed and sleep overtook the healer. His presence would continue to comfort her while she slept, making her slumber dreamless and restful, which was exactly what she needed.
