Meadowlark Prairie temperature

It was a naive thought, but luckily East was nearby. He enjoyed the cold and had been unable to sleep, so he was patrolling the perimeter of where they settled for the night, easily falling into old habits when his mind kept him from relaxing. Once he was sure there was no danger lurking anywhere close, he headed back to the group, still not tired, but having nothing else to do. 

He saw her as he neared their camp, easily spotting her in the open field, his gaze drawn to her earthy fur and the way it seemed to glow in the light of the moon. He should go to bed and resist the urge to sidle up next to her and speak to her alone. But he couldn't just leave her by herself out here, right? It was cold and dangerous. That's how he was justifying things to himself as he trotted towards her instead of back to bed. It's not very safe to be out here by yourself, he said gently as he came up beside her. His gaze scanned the field before resting on her face. It's awfully open.
