Callista curled up on the mattress, waving a hoof to set the safeguards as she waited for him.

Valzar settled beside her, pulling her soft body to him, where she belonged.

Callista snuggled into him, burying her head in his chest. She could feel the night fading away and tiredness setting in.

"Sleep well, Callista," Valzar said quietly. He tried not to think of the fact he hadn't been home for over 24 hours, hopefully his family would understand...

"I'll try, Val..." She made herself shut her eyes and at least try to sleep.

Valzar closed his eyes as well and waited for sleep to take him.

Callista slept fitfully through the day, waiting for the sun to set.

Valzar shifted, trying his best to comfort her as she slept.

Her eyes popped open when the sun sank below the earth. She took a deep breath and tried to clear her mind. She felt worn out and stiff, something she'd have to do her best to hide when Valzar woke up.

"Are you alright?" Valzar asked softly having been awake for sometime. "You weren't sleeping well..."

"Not really," he said softly pausing as he looked at her. Something was wrong....he reached out to touch her hair which seemed duller than its usual raven black and her coat that almost appeared...washed out. "Callista, what's happening to you?" he asked, his eyes wide with concern.

She looked away and down at the cave floor. It's the consequences of not sleeping in the ground.

Valzar inhaled sharply, "Callista! You can not continue to do this..."

"I thought we discussed this last night, Valzar. I don't have the energy for another fight with you right now, anyway."
