Sunbeam Lair left you multiple missed calls

it's the hacking coughs that draws salvatore from the already thinning veil of slumber; it would take time before he trusted anyone enough to sleep as soundly as he had in the shared space with stitch and frankie. at first, with a shuffle and a languid stretch he thinks maybe he's just imagined it and eyes flutter shut only to open with resigned reluctance as he hears it a second bout of hacking. ❝gross —❞ salvatore mumbles under his breath; forgetting for the briefest of moments that it wasn't frankie coughing up a bit of bone she accidentally swallowed.

right...

he pushes himself to his paws and makes the trek to the mouth of the lair where the onslaught of sunlight causes his coalglow eye to squint shut while, eerily if not expectantly, his blind eye does not react to the stimuli.❝you uh, you gonna live there, kid?❞ salvatore asks with a small smile, as if his stupid little joke was funny ( it wasn't ). the small smile vanishes just as quickly as it appears, however; as the fact that when it comes to healing he's entirely useless settles in.
