Description Shen moved out of the bedroll and dragged his half asleep frazzled body over to her's, flopping down in exhaustion and gripping her hoof to let her know he was there. Her whimpers subsided as another sleepy wing reached up and wiped a tear.

Shen laid his head down, watching the elderly goat as she slept, now peaceful and calm; his wing gently clasping her hoof, driving away the nightmares and fears of separation. He closed his eyes, slept for a moment – and the child's wail resonated through the clinic and through his head. Groggy, he stretched a wing through the darkness, felt nothing.

-The kitten practically jumped on him, and he almost screamed: it was so abrupt, and right after he'd woken from another nightmare. But upon seeing it was only the child, he let out a shaky breath of relief, letting the girl climb into the bed roll.

More or less, the two just considered the latter option, and all three of them wound up staying in the one bedroll together. It was crowded – you couldn't turn your head without being smothered by feathers or fur, but neither really seemed to care. Huddled in such close quarters, feeling each other's touch was soothing and protected them from the nightmares.

Was working on the next chapter of "Redeeming Light", took a break to do some art based off my scene.
