Duskfire Glacier Don't go sharing your devotion, lay all your love on me

Eerie. That word crossed his mind a few times as the silence of the morning stretched uncomfortably long, it was unexpected since Rye was under the impression the tranquility of silence brought forth.. well, peace. He was used to the cries of pups begging their mothers to nurse them, Sikuliak among them and usually he cried right beside the hotahs ear. So, perhaps he had gotten too accustomed to constant noise. As the sun rose so did the birds. Their songs beginning to fill his ears and fill the once vacant air. Rye closed his eyes and breathed deep but then a voice cracked his concentration, one eye peaked out from its lid and met a glowing, familiar face. 

"Meerkat," He cheerfully greeted, both eyes open and lifted by his ear to ear smile. "Of course not, come sit by me if you wish." Rye scooted himself to the side to make room for the yearling in case she decided to join him atop the rock. Whether she did or not wouldn't stop him from asking, "What are you doing up this early?" He questioned. It occurred to him that his early may be her normal morning but regardless it was a decent conversation starter.
