Ashriel nodded quietly. She pet Raevyn for a moment longer before she brought her legs up onto the bed and laid down. Knowing that she would inevitably grab him, she held him tight, falling asleep then and there.
--err...I'll just do this time skip--
Ashriel woke up the next morning to her alarm clock going off. She sat up abruptly, letting go of Raevyn. Her hand turned it off, and she rubbed her eyes. A streak of pain went through her leg when she moved it - oops. She'd laid funky last night.

 The tiger that shouldn't be....is.... Raevyn curled in her arms, content to sleep there. It would happen anyways, and this way she didn't wake him in the middle of the night again.
Raevyn jumped at the sound of the alarm, glancing around wildly. He relaxed, remembering the alarm. Sitting up on the bed, he yawned and began grooming his fur. "I hate mornings." He muttered as he washed his fur. "Too stupidly early. I'm a night creature. Can you get your clothes without help?" He said, directing the last comment towards Ashriel.  The tiger that should be....isn't....

Ashriel looked at him, thinking for a moment. "I could try, I suppose." She mused, her eyes glancing at the distance between her bed and her dresser. It wasn't that far. Couldn't she make it?

The tiger that shouldn't be....is.... Raevyn rolled his eyes, hopping to the floor. "If you can't do it, then just say so. What do you want?" He asked, glancing over the dresser. The tiger that should be....isn't....

Ashriel thought for a moment, looking at Raevyn. "T-shirt, jeans, and undergarments. I don't really care exactly what." She told him. To be frank, she hadn't a clue what she even had. Her fingers stroked where her braid still was, messy and frayed. She began to take it out slowly, cursing as the hairband got caught in her hair. Okay, maybe she would let him do that.

The tiger that shouldn't be....is.... Raevyn, too lazy to bother shifting form, dragged the clothes out of the dresser. He carried them back to Ashriel. Seeing the mess she was making of her hair, he rolled his eyes. "Get dressed. I'll redo the braid when you're done." He told her simply, curling up on the bed, facing away from her. The tiger that should be....isn't....

Ashriel changed the same way she had done before, and she glanced at Raevyn. "Okay, I'm dressed." She looked at him quietly, thinking about reaching for him.

The tiger that shouldn't be....is.... Raevyn uncurled from his ball, stretching easily. He flickered to his human form and grabbed the brush, moving to sit behind Ashriel. Slowly, he gently teased her hair from the braid until he could brush it smooth again. "Braid again? Or something else?" He asked, still brushing her hair just for the heck of it now. The tiger that should be....isn't....

Ashriel closed her eyes while he brushed her hair. It was so soothing. "I like it braided." She said in the way of a response. Her voice was soft and smooth, a lot calmer than normal. Slowly, she was growing comfortable around him. Happy. "Perhaps love can exist." She muttered at a level which she didn't believe he would be able to hear.

The tiger that shouldn't be....is.... "Alright." Raevyn continued to brush her hair for a moment before setting the brush down and setting to work braiding it. He was glad to feel how relaxed Ashriel was. It helped keep him relaxed too, empathic as he was. He ignored her mumble, not having caught the words enough to care. He figured she was just babbling again. In a way, he was disappointed to reach the end of her braid, tying it off. It meant an end to the quiet closeness of their morning. "There. Let's get breakfast made." He said briskly to cover it up, rising from the bed and offering a hand out to Ashriel. The tiger that should be....isn't....

Ashriel took his hand quietly, looking at him. It was surprising how glad she was to be close to him. "Okay...eggies!" She declared, grinning now. Her eyes were bright as she looked at him. This morning, apparently, she had a preference - eggs.

The tiger that shouldn't be....is.... Raevyn chuckled, shaking his head. "Any particular style?" He asked mildly, wrapping an arm around Ashriel's waist to help her to the kitchen. Once she was seated at the table, he set to work, pulling out the stuff he would need. The tiger that should be....isn't....

Ashriel grinned at him, avoiding putting any weight on her bad leg. "Over-easy!" She declared again, her fingers now tapping the table. Already she was bored of sitting still all of the time.

The tiger that shouldn't be....is.... Raevyn groaned playfully. "Of course you pick the hardest way to cook the bloody things." He said mockingly. With a shake of his head, he cracked the eggs into the frypan. After a couple of butchered attempts and some colorful swearing, he finally had presentable eggs for Ashriel. The butchered attempts, he'd turned into scrambled eggs for himself. "There. Eat and be happy." He muttered, plopping into his seat and starting to eat. The tiger that should be....isn't....

Ashriel grinned, taking her eggs and eating them quickly. A knock came on their door - and the phone rang. At the same exact time. Now who could that knock possibly be? "Wait a sec, Jen! He's almost done." Ash giggled, looking at Raevyn.
