It wasn't long before Marbledface had fallen asleep. it was impossible not to. Jaguarclaw's nest was much more comfortable than the old tunnel she'd bunked in. Plus she finally felt safe and comfortable again, at peace in a way. She hadn't thought that he would take her leaving so well, and she fell asleep with warmth in her heart and was filled with gratitude. For once she didn't dream of injuring herself in battle,she didn't dream of losing her family members one by one, she dreamed of clan life and what lied ahead. Though the dream was one that she didn't remember in the morning, like most dreams. She simply just began to stir with the sun feeling rested and content rather than in a sweat and with tears in her eyes.
The first thing she noticed when she began to come to was that she felt heavier. A small groan crept through her throat as she frowned and twisted a little in her nest. Then slowly, things began to fit into place. She wasn't in her nest at all, nor was she in the tunnel that had housed her. She was back in the clan, in Jaguarclaw's nest. Though that didn't explain the extra weight. Blinking sleep out of her eyes she waited a second for her eyes to adjust to the bit of brightness that dawn provided in the den. When things came into focus she recognized the spotted figure, he was sprawled across the two nests his head and forelegs on her side. A flush of something between surprise and embarrassment ran through her and she tried to wiggle from beneath him. Though she wasn't still the most agile cat and more-so just ended up rolling around beneath him unable to get free. Her pelt twitched uncomfortably at the closeness of him, and she silently hoped her wriggling would wake him up and she would try to play it off as though she weren't getting butterflies in the pit of her stomach. They were just friends afterall, weren't they? Yes, she was sure of that, they were just friends. Marbledface was too scared of love to ever admit otherwise to herself. So she relaxed and pushed a paw against his cheek to wake the tom.
