Really, the only thing to do when it's snowing hard outside, the wind blowing bitterly cold, when the world is indistinguishable shades of dim grey and the weak winter sun is nowhere to be seen...

...is take a nap, curled up at one end of the couch and wrapped up in a warm blanket, in front of the merrily blazing fireplace.

Admittedly, the nap wasn't planned. Young Rae had intended to finish at least this chapter of her book, and enjoy her hot cocoa before it cooled off. But neither were meant to be, apparently.


Who says humans weren't meant to hibernate through the winter?

The ginger human is cold. That's not right. The ginger and white kitten must help. Kyber comes over to curl up against Rae's chest, purring loudly as Bodhi sits at another table, slicing thick roots up for drying.

Rae wakes gently to the warm weight of a little cat's paws on the blanket covering her, and the feeling of a purring creature on her chest. She offers a sleepy smile, extricating a hand from the blanket to rub the little cat's ears.

"Some days just call for naps, it seems," she admits to Kyber, quietly. Her words are nearly overtaken by the huge yawn that follows, which leaves her eyes watering.

Kyber answers with a yawn of his own, showing lots of sharp little teeth and purring louder at the ear scratches.

Pats are good, human. Well done. You shall be rewarded with more snuggling.

"Kyber, you are such a good cat." Snuggles are the best. Rae leans her forehead against the cat, drowsily, and continues the gentle ear rubs.

"I didn't mean to take a nap. It just sort of happened."

Head boops! Kyber loves head boops. Consider yourself head booped, ginger human. With much purring.

Naps happen. It's a fact of life.

[sunbaked_baker]

Naps are such a lovely fact of life. Rae smiles sleepily, eyes closed as her head rests against the warm, purring weight of Kyber.

"So sweet," she murmurs, drowsily. "Have you had a good winter, huh? Play out in the snow?"

Kyber mews happily. There have been hunts and adventures and epic battles with the other cats against the dreaded demon bunnies!
