Egil gets up from the big dog and comes over.

"Yes?"

[street_sparrow]

"Would you like that?" He grins. "Here by the fire we don't really need it, but they like it. You can keep very warm in a pile of dogs."

[ostro_goth]

"Yes," Egil says, enthusiastically. "Huggy, fuffy gogs!"

[street_sparrow]

"Very huggy and fluffy", he promises. "Even Jo'll come and join in."

[ostro_goth]

Egil sits by Gavroche's side; Teja pulls his Tyrian purple cloak around himself.

[street_sparrow]

Gavroche wraps his arm around Egil.

"Ready to sleep now?"

[ostro_goth]

Egil nods, but just now, the rats arrive with the hot chocolate milk for everybody.

[street_sparrow]

He glances up and laughs. "Or maybe not quite yet."

At least the hot chocolate milk should send him drowsing.

[ostro_goth]

Yes, Egil takes a few sips from his chocolate milk, then puts it down, cuddles against the big, friendly dog, and closes his eyes.-


[[OOC: Wrap here?]]
