So, it was decided, then. Liza would come with her, as she had expected and hoped, to help keep her alive when she couldn't herself, to be something familiar in the strangeness of the outside world, and perhaps to remind her, just a little, of the home she'll be leaving behind. She and Asherah had bonded recently, too. Perhaps she'd like to come as well.

As Liza wrapped himself around her, she remained silent, even though this was comforting for her. As the sounds of his snoring reached her ears, she curled herself into her usual ball for sleep, making her appear even smaller than usual, truly like a little white cub. She never made any noise as she slept, apart from the occasional murmur, but her breathing eventually evened out as slumber took her, soothed and calmed into sleep by the warmth of his body and the beat of his heart.
