Taryn woke in a shivering gasp as the dream. Remembering Raschen's warmth from the night before, she rose and padded silently to him.<br/><br/>"Raschen?" she whispers. "I'm cold."<br/><br/>He looks up from staring into the flame and turns to look at her. As if it were the most natural action on Earth, he held out a paw to her, bringing her to settle into his lap. Taryn was instantly surrounded by Beastkin body heat and leaned back against him. The Kuguar settled his arms around her and went back to staring into the flames. Her eyes grew heavy and she started to doze when he began to squirm.<br/><br/>"Am I getting too heavy?" she murmured, loathe to open her eyes.<br/><br/>He moved around a little m ore but kept her clasped tightly.<br/><br/>"Raschen?" she muttered.<br/><br/>"Hmmm?"<br/><br/>"Don't purify me any more."
