She woke up to Darrach gently nudging her face and nibbling at her hair, as if testing to see if it was hair-shaped milk. When she stirred, her sleepy eyes seeing his happy ones peering down at her, she felt soothed by the warmth that welled in her.
"...Good morning." She mumbled, reaching out to give the baby some soft scritches.
"Bwwaahh..." He murmured. His mouth nuzzled at her ear and face.
"I know. It's time to get you milk."
Donncahd.
She shifted and turned her gaze to look for him.
He wasn't in the tent.
He'd left the fire stoked so it was warm in there - the warmth and dry air helping to dry out her clothing that had gotten wet in the rain the night before. The rain still drummed softly on the ground and on the tent, a muffled and distant sound.
Her body felt stiff and sluggish.
"Mehh-eh-eh."
The kid bleated at her and nuzzled his face into her shoulder. His big, pretty brown eyes watched her face.
