Awake

Leonel's eyes snapped open. His first instinct was to jump up, but the creaking of his bones and his splitting headache made him think twice. 

"Hm?" 

The sound of a breathing rhythm Leonel was certain was his caught his attention. He turned to the side, only to find Aina curled up like a kitten, her mask still on. Leonel couldn't blame her though, it was probably far more comfortable for her to sleep with it on rather than off. 

Leonel's bed was quite large, enough for even four people to sleep on without bothering each other. So, though Aina was curled up to his side, she was still about half a meter from him. 

Leonel couldn't help but smile. The little mink and Aina cuddled up together was definitely an adorable sight to behold. 

Leonel's stirring seemed to alert Aina. Her eyes opened only to see Leonel's smirk. 

A deep blush colored Aina's face. She couldn't help but be thankful that she had this mask now.
