Ronan shook his head as he hugged her back. Nah. We may as well stay here for the night, all three of us. It'll be easier for us in the morning while we're getting ready to leave, Besides, I'm sure everyone trusts us.

She yawned again and smiled up at him. "I guess we better find a place to sleep then." She kept an arm around him and led him back closer to the waterfall, supporting him. She was sure that with his weariness his limp would be worse so she stayed right with him till they came back to the place where she had left the lantern.

Ronan yawned widely and curled up next to the lantern. As he waited for Elthia to get settled, he watched Raven sleeping. The young ferret yawned and rolled over muttering something about a fox. Ronan shook his head amusedly and layed his head down tiredly.

Just as Elthia would have done in her own infirmary, she checked on her patients before she settled herself down to sleep. She sat next to Ronan and felt the bandage on his leg to make sure it hadn't come loose or need to be changed. She was satisfied with the job she had done earlier and looked him over for any other effects. She smiled at the way he was curled up like that, so much like the little dibbun she had tucked in a couple of hours before. But when she came to look at his face he was no dibbun. This was the beast that she loved and he loved her. Her eyes locked with his and she couldn't resist the feeling that welled up inside her. She bent down and kissed him.

Ronan rolled onto his back and cupped her cheek softly as he kissed her back happily. When he broke away gently, he nuzzled her neck softly and kissed her cheek lovingly. I love you, Elthia.

"I love you, too, Ronan." She laid down next to him pillowing her head on his chest. There couldn't be anything wrong with this. It felt so right to be near him. Of course she wanted more. Her body longed for more. But she bit her lip and tried to content herself with just this closeness.

Ronan hugged her close to him And closed his eyes contently. He eventually fell into a peaceful sleep. Raven woke a couple hours after Ronan fell asleep and just watched them silently, trying to figure out why they were so kind when countless others had rejected him and chased him away.

It took longer for Elthia to give in to sleep. Her mind was too full of the events of the day. She heard the ferret stir and was alert for a few moments wondering if her faith in him had been rightly placed or if he would murder them while they slept. But nothing came of her short-lived fear and soon Ronan's rhythmic breathing and the beating of his heart lulled her to sleep.

Raven got up from the ledge and crept over to the mouth of the waterfall. He sat where he could see out of the falls without getting frenched and kept watch instead of sleeping. He yawned and drifted off just as the sun was starting to rise in the sky.

Elthia woke as the sky was just beginning to lighten. For a minute she wasn't sure where she was. She was stiff from sleeping on the hard cave floor but the warm body next to her made her want to stay right where she was. Part of the night before came back to her: the part involving she and Ronan. She could tell he was still asleep so she snuggled closer to him. "I love you," she whispered into his fur. The rest of the night before, with all it's horror and sadness was forgotten for the moment.

Ronan stretched as a shaft of sunlight hit his face and caused him to open his eyes. Raven curled up into a furry ball and kept sleeping, his exhaustion finally taking him over and sending him into the strange world of dreams.

Feeling Ronan stir, she realized he was waking up. She propped herself up enough to look into his face and kissed his nose. "Good morning, dozypaws." She had completely forgotten that the ferret was there and was taking full advantage of being alone with Ronan for a little longer.

Ronan smiled sleepily at her and kissed her cheek softly. Morning, Hun. How'd you sleep? I slept wonderfully. Raven snuffled and shifted in is sleep as he muttered incoherently and yawned.

"Well I had the best pillow ever." She laid her head on his chest for a moment and sighed. The at the sound made by the ferret she jumped. "What's that?!" She looked over to where the young beast was stirring. The rest of the evening was now clear in her memory. She looked back at Ronan and smiled with embarrassment.

Ronan smiled back fondly and rubbed her back soothingly before standing and walking over to he young ferret. He knelt by him as he checked on him and then stood back up. Raven stretched out and curled back as he kept sleeping.
