Same here! xD

Malachi let his tail wag gently at Týrr's respectful greeting. "And you the same." He said in reply before pricking his ears to listen to the earthen male again. '... Odinn's Cove, in the farthest reaches of the North.' Malachi had come from the North and had never heard of Icelandic or Odinn's Cove before now. The far North Týrr hailed from must have been even further than the Blackwood Vale. The thought surprised him for a moment until the Kalderon remembered the times he'd scaled the mountains that eclipsed his valley home and the stretches of mountains, hills, and plains that met him in the land below. Back then he couldn't imagine what lay in the realms beyond their Vale: now, he was finally getting a glimpse, and his heart tripped with the desire to know more.

His thoughts were interrupted as he broke forth in a large yawn. As he shook his head to rid himself of sleep again, the Kalderon suddenly realized both of them must have woken earlier than anticipated. He'd noticed the yawns and stretches of the earthen boy, but hadn't thought much of them until then. But he was far too awake now to go back to sleep, and as he shot a glance to the sky he reckoned the dawn would soon break forth entirely. Besides, this world intrigued him far more than his spectre land, and the territory before them still lay vast and unexplored. He turned to his companion and let a grin cross his face, though he spoke his words with a tentative tone. "How about a patrol this morning? It'd do us both good to wake up a little."
