    COTY

    Assailant -- Year 226

    QOTY

    "But the dream, the echo, slips from him as quickly as he had found it and as consciousness comes to him (a slap and not the gentle waves of oceanic tides), it dissolves entirely. His muscles relax as the cold claims him again, as the numbness sets in, and when his grey eyes open, there’s nothing but the faint after burn of a dream often trod and never remembered." --Brigade, written by Laura

    She awoke with moisture in her eyes and warmth at her back. Conflicting emotions twisted inside her, carried in on waves of sad dreams. She felt so lost, so alone, so forgotten. Abandoned. A lone tear spilled over as she ducked her head to resettle herself. But there was a firmness to the warmth at her back, and for a moment she thought Siberian had come back for her as she slept.

    Her ears perked up and her eyes brightened as she swung her head around to see him -but it was Orion, the gray man, and not Siberian. Her face fell, and she wiggled in closer to him. He'd been kind, safe. He'd stayed with her all through the night. Already awake, too, as he scanned the area with purpose as he probably had for most the night. He was so watchful, like her. She liked that.

    She was glad that mare had wandered off after a time, too. Mares were strange and uncomfortable. Orion wasn't. He was calm, and big, and safe. And sometimes he talked funny.

    Azar, she'd said so softly when the woman was well and away from them. Like it was a secret to keep safe and treasured. My name. She'd given him a short nod for emphasis, and then promptly cuddled in and fell asleep. She lay much the same way now, her rump tucked in just behind his shoulder and her chest at his belly. He was quite big compared to little her.

    Now they were both awake, though, and she didn't feel like sleeping more. Hunger scraped and clawed at her empty tummy. She turned her head, and straightened her neck to chew at his hip. She found that she liked touching him. Nipping at him was super fun too, because it never seemed to hurt him even the tiniest bit.

    Can we eat now? her soft voice sang to him as she stuffed her little nose in the soft spot between his hip and belly. He smelled nice. Siberian still had not returned, but she thought maybe if they ate nearby he'd still be able to find her. Because she was so small, and needed to eat. He would not want her to go hungry for too long.

    She turned to peer at Orion with big doe-eyes, naturally deferring to him for guidance.

    ORION'S BELT
    The breeze had grown warmer and the grip of winter soon faded.  The forest was coming alive as the critters awoke from their winter send.  Song birds sang but the most beautiful of tunes.  His lobes twisted about to analyze each new sound.  He felt a shifting beneath him and he knew just who it was.  He need not look down to know but then a single word surfaced.  A surprised look fell upon his features as lobes perked.  Sky hued orbs trailed down to where she lay, nape twisted and lowered his large profile.  My name... He wasn't hearing things.  A warm smile pulled across his maw but no words were exchanged.  He again turned his attention to the forest...

    As he assumed his duty of waiting, though he wasn't sure who they waited for, he felt a prodding upon his hide.  Instinctively muscles twitched as if it had been a pest of some sort.  Lowering his crown once more to view her.  Soft words again but in a question.  Food... His belly grumbled at the thought and he spoke to silence it,

    If you wish, we shall... His maw pointed forward to a small clearing just ahead.  The sun reached the grass there making it flourish.  Surely they would not be the only ones to seek it's bounty.  He waited for her to rise from under his massive frame so he did not step on her...

    He easy picked a path for her to follow him.  One lobe listening for her as the other attentively scanned for danger...
