Marya's mouth fell open, but she quickly recollected herself. "I-I.."
Marya's mouth fell open, but she quickly recollected herself. "I-I.."
He hugged her mid-stammer.
Marya held onto the hug, biting down on her tongue to keep tears from streaming down her face.
His arms formed a sort of firm coat of comfort for her.
(I'm back! Recap? What has happened so far?)
Marya pulled away, "Thanks. I-" she wiped away some tears. "I needed that."
(I'm back! Recap? What has happened so far?)
I did it last time so now it's Owl's turn.
"I know." He quietly chuckled, empathetically.
Marya stood up, skin still warm from the unexpected hug, "We should get to bed now. Rest for our trip tomorrow to take you home."
"Alright," he exhaled. "I'm here if you want to snuggle a pup," he laughed.
Marya smiled, "In your dreams."
He snorted, "Ow,"
Marya gave him one last smile and shut the door, heading back to her room.
He turned over and burrowed into his sheets.
The night went by fast and soon morning came and Marya was up before the sun to make breakfast.
Gabriel remained peacefully asleep.
Oatmeal for herself and eggs for Gabriel. Marya nodded, satisfied with the breakfast. She came barreling down the hallway and knocked on Gabriel's door. "Gabe! Wake up!"
"Noo.." he groaned back groggily.
"Yes." Marya opened the door and went over to Gabe's bedside, pulling on his arm. "I have oatmeal. And eggs."
His eyelids fluttered, and he moaned quietly in opposition.
"Gabriel!" Marya pulled him out of bed.
"Oh, Jesus!" He scrambled, standing up after falling on the floor.
Marya put her hands on her hips and prodded his shoulder, "Come. After breakfast, we're both taking showers."
"Nn," he grumbled, lofting a hand to ruffle his peppery black hair.
Marya grinned, "No jokes about taking a shower? You've surprised me." she walked out of the room, dragging Gabriel by the leg. "Eat."
