It had taken little time to fall asleep.<br/><br/>Once she laid down the intensity of the night seemed to slam into her again; first she ended up crying, silent and shameful because Aaralyn hated crying, she always had, ever since her mother had left her. Hot angry tears rolled down her cheeks but crying proved to be the last action her body had energy for. She had squeezed her eyes shut to stop the tears and not opened them again. Her cat guardian settled on her lap and purred, sending soothing waves into his charge while she slept.<br/><br/>A few times she stirred, but never fully awoke, sleep far too welcoming for once.<br/><br/>Something large crashed into the door of the den though, and the door then opened, the sound of footsteps enough to make her jerk upright, hands lifted and power flaring up into them a dark navy color thread with silver in the metaphysical flames. It took the redhead a moment to realize just who it was and then she blushed as he apologized, dropping her hands and dismissing her power. Doing so made her realize just how light headed she was feeling, and...hungry. Her expression was frozen for a moment, shock reading in her eyes before she dropped them to Eaerik who had just sunk his nails into her leg to jerk her from her thoughts.<br/><br/><em>That wasn't very nice</em>. She thought at him tartly.<br/><br/><em>Yes, well neither are you first thing upon waking. He saved you. Play nice and listen. You need to feed.</em>Aara made a face at the feline, realizing then that the tear trails on her face were still there. With a muttered curse she scrubbed at her cheeks.<br/><br/>"Its nothing to worry about, I'm the outsider after all. I'm sorry; maybe I should look into getting my own place if I'm going to disrupt you and your brother too much."
