 Sarai lay very still. She wasn't asleep, but she was pretending to be. She listened carefully, but didn't dare open an eye. Why was she doing this? Who knows... But she was in a good mood. She had been in a good mood for the past few days. She had Rajani to thank for that. She made sure to keep her breathing slow and even.

Rajani calmly watched Sarai, feeling comfortable staring since he believed her to be asleep. The last couple of days had been...different. He was not used to having someone like Sarai around to talk to. And oddly enough, he liked it.

She could tell he was somewhere near, but she couldn't tell if he was awake or not. She lifted an eyelid only a sliver, peering out beneath her eyelashes. She could tell he was facing her direction, but she couldn't tell what he was doing. She tried to stay still, she really did. But her ADD finally took over and she started moving her front paws like a kitten kneading on it's mother. Something she often did without realizing, especially when she was tired.

Rajani arched a brow at the strange action, finding it cute. Not that he would ever say so. He continued to stare before quietly asking, "You awake?"

Her eyes fluttered open and she looked up at him innocently. "Yes," she said softly. "How long have you been up?"

"A while." He tilted his head. "Did you sleep well?"

Sarai took a deep breath which turned into a yawn. "Oh, yes! I've been sleeping very well these past few nights actually," admitted before thinking. She regretted saying it though, for it made her feel guilty.

"Well that is good, one needs sleep to functin after all." He paused, knowing full well that Sarai might be feeling guilt for spending time with him. "Would you like something to eat."

She nodded. "Definitely!" She smiled. "I mean, if it's not too much trouble." She laughed a little before starting to stand.

"No trouble at all." Rajani stretched before slipping to his feet. "What would like to eat?"

"Whatever you want. I'm not picky." She got up to follow him. "Don't forget your blanket," he giggled as she pointed to it.

Rajani stopped, surprise registuring on his face. He never forgot his blanket, but here he was about to do just that. He grabbed it up and wrapped it around his shoulders. "Thanks. How do muffins sound?"

"Muffins sounds wonderful!" she exclaimed. "I love muffins," she closed her eyes and smiled. "Are you actually cold?" She moved closer to place her paw on him, but paused with her paw outstretched inches from him.

"Oddly, no." It was true, the chill that seemed to be etched in his very bones had gone. Maybe he was finaly starting to recover from his ordeal. His orange eyes slid to the her outstretched paw.

"Good." She quickly retracted her paw. She smiled. "Someday you might not even need the blanket anymore." She looked at her paw. She used to have no problem touching everyone and cuddling with anyone. She wished she could have that back right now, for him.
