Kat stared out across the sands as they sailed by. She had let her body relax even though her mind remained vigilant. She leaned her head over the front of the sand skipper using her arms as makeshift pillows. Her normally energetic tail with its constant balance corrections curled up on her back. Her wings fell to the sides hanging just slightly over the edges, though make sure not to catch the wind.
Kat's legs were in a less pleasant arrangement. Half bent and wedged against the canoe wall, but Kat didn't mind. Space was limited and her body didn't seem to mind sitting in awkward positions like it used to.
Kat stifled a yawn. She wasn't tired exactly but the sun and heat radiating from above and below was a perfect sensation. Like being warmed by blankets on a cold winter morning.
"Kat? You alright? Not getting heatstroke on us are you?" asked Skye looking at Kat's slightly goofy smile and relaxed attitude.
