[Ever]

Tawnyflame made a small noise of discontempt when something poked her to wake her. She blinked in the darkness of the den, the sounds of the others sleeping softly all around them. She heard a familiar voice whispering to her, then saw the black cat slink away. He looked like a shadow in the still dark den. The fluffy tabby rolled and stretched, claws sinking into the edge of her nest before she pushed to her paws and quietly padded after him.

The clearing was still quiet, the world tinted pink from the sunrise. She wished that she was on coyote's peak right now, the view would have been gorgeous. Her golden eyes looked at the sky for a moment, watching the pink clouds roll overhead with a wondrous expression. Then they dropped from the sky and landed on the black tom, quickly grooming a patch of unruly chest fur back into place before padding up to him.

"Do you need something?" She asked quietly, wondering what he had woken her for. While she waited for his reply, she hastily returned to the work of grooming to calm the tangles from sleep.
