The lemur leaned on his staff a bit more and swished his tail towards her to hold in her hands to touch. It was like nothing she’s ever felt before, like the softest blanket she could ever imagine, almost like real silk itself.

Elizabeth’s eyes were very large at this point and she was so careful as to not pull or tug on his tail in her excitement. She wanted to jump up and down but she didn’t want to disturb Night or hurt the Lemur that saved her in any way.

The creature turned for the last time and hobbled away in a slow pace, which seemed like it’s usual pace. Elizabeth watched it disappear into the tree line and turned back to Night to check on him. Yep, still sleeping… she pursed her lips to the side and plopped herself back down. She nestled against Nights body once more to get some more rest. Liz was still worried that that Oil Horse thing would still come back for her but the Lemur said that he’d watch out for her. She was still hesitant to fall asleep but she knew she’d need her rest for the journey that was to come.

In Nights dreamy slumber he grabbed Liz by the waist and brought her closer to him, protecting her with his large frame from anything that may draw near. It was a habit of his when a woman was near to be protective, even in his sleep. Liz was a little taken back but she snuggled her head against him, welcoming the comfort and finally closed her eyes.
