[Action]

[knightofratatosk]

[It's sunset before Emil makes it back to town... while he was lucky enough not to land in the lake after going through the portal, he ended up in the mountains instead, and it's taken him almost two days to get back. He's exhausted, wet, freezing cold, and most importantly, he's not back in his world. The portal also separated him from Sial, so he's worried about what happened to his chimera companion as well.

He looks about as dejected as he feels right now; every so often he'll stumble over something and fall to his knees before picking himself up and continuing to trudge on.]

Maybe it'll wear off soon.

[knightofratatosk]

[Sigh.]

[corrinesbell]

[she's got nothing else to say again for the moment. Back to staring at the fire]

[knightofratatosk]

[Hey, he's fine with that. Just having the company is kind of nice.]

[corrinesbell]

[leave her for too long and she'll start dozing off. It's so nice and warm now]

[knightofratatosk]

[The combination of warmth and exhaustion from his impromptu hiking trip is fast lulling him into sleep as well. He at least has enough sense to finish his hot chocolate and put the mug down before he passes out, though.]

[corrinesbell]

[she'll half-wake if he makes noise and fully wake when the fire starts to die down]

[knightofratatosk]

[Fortunately he's too exhausted for his sleep to be disrupted by nightmares at this point.

Sheena might hear a small scratching at the front door, though.]

[corrinesbell]

[huh? She pries herself off the sofa and goes over to open the door]

[knightofratatosk]

[Y halo thar, Sheena, look who has made his way back home.]

[corrinesbell]

[awww~ Aren't you a cute little...baby monster. She holds out her hands as though to lift it up; the poor thing must also be freezing]

[knightofratatosk]

[Indeed he is; it's cold out and he's been wandering around outside for two days now. That fur can only do so much. Since he's used to being picked up by now, he'll stand on his hind legs expectantly.

[corrinesbell]

[picks him up gently and goes directly for the couch and that still-warm blanket. This thing is practically Corrine-sized. She wraps him up in one of the blankets and sits down]

[knightofratatosk]

[Oh hey, there's his master. He'll wiggle out of the blanket and climb up on Emil's nest to nudge him with a paw before curling up alongside the boy.]

[corrinesbell]

[well, there you go then]

[knightofratatosk]

[Emil will at least be happy when he wakes up! Well, sort of.]

[corrinesbell]

[that'll be enough for now, probably. She'll fall asleep again, too]

[knightofratatosk]

[Yay slumber party?]
