Llune's Nest - Hurricane Pini, Day 2

[Llune]

Along the cliff wall, were you to follow it away from the cove a ways, you would come across a little indentation in the otherwise sheer cliff face. And in this indentation is a fairly straight mulberry tree, it’s branches brushing along the sides of the indentation, as if the cliff has wrapped itself around the little berry-bearing tree to protect it.

Were you then to climb this tree, to a height of about 20 or 30 feet, and happen to climb out to the end of a branch that looks like a thick braid, then part the leaves, you may be surprised to find a tall, narrow crack in the wall of the cliff face.

The “hallway” runs about 3 feet in before it curves to the left, back toward the cove. After another 3 feet, the entranceway opens into a much larger cavern, one with a high ceiling, and ample space for several elves to lay down. Along the deepest edges of the cave it’s dark, very dark, so it’s hard to tell if there are any other openings into other cavernous rooms.

The bulk of the room has been swept and is partially covered with grass mats, nothing too fancy just yet. Along the part of the cave wall are various bundles and mats and baskets, one with some orange fur and what appears to be some sort of thread-forming spindle. Also near the entranceway is a small hole in the wall that holds the cocoons of several sleeping silkworms.

Along a different wall in the cave is a small fire-pit and a small pile of damp branches and bits of wood. It is obvious that the warm, dry area immediately around the pile of lazy ash and coals is a favorite for those that dwell, at least temporarily, in this cave.

The hurricane still rages outside with the full force it had the day before, making no signs of letting up, the rain still streaking down and the wind still tearing relentlessly at the trees and ground.

(This room is for the continuation of the Hurricane Pini plot - DAY 2!)

[BlazingRock]

Blaze grew aware of his surroundings gradualy, but didn't open his eyes for a long while, trying to figure out what had woken him. The air was cool against his face, and he snuggled weakly up against Peyote's sleeping form, loathe to leave the warm cocoon of blanket they shared. His face nestled in her black hair, he growled quietly to himself and cracked open an eye. A faint light shone in through the cave, and from the sound of it, the storm was still showing no signs of letting up. The only noise seemed to be the roar of wind and sporadic thunder, and it remind him momentarily of floodwaters. That he was warm and dry, and not out in that, put him in a good mood, and he smiled slightly, despite his haggard condition.

(Edited for weather. My bad.)  

[ChosenSavith]

Savith had fallen sleep in Dewpaw curled up against his chest, prompt up against the wall. Less that he'd fallen asleep, and more that he ended up blacking out from exhaustion. Finally sleeping, the wear on him was apparent. His eyes seemed sunken; his skin too pale for all the time he spends in the sun. The tiny scratches on his frame from the tiny bits of air-born derbis outside bled for a few more moments before crusting over into tiny scabs surrounded by angry red welts. As night turned into day, more than one bruise begun to darken under his skin, one on a shoulder here, another on his side there, another on his cheek. His right ankle, freed of his boots by Llune the previous night, was a nice shade of bluish blackish purple and swollen badly. On his left arm, midway between elbow and shoulder, is a nice star-shaped scar, well-healed and turns old. And well his breathing remained even and calm as one sleeping, his eyelids never fluttered and never twitched as Savith remained unconscious in a dreamless black haze of mental and physical exhaustion.

OOC: Please do not play decorate the glider. wink  

[ChosenSavith]

At Dewpaw's light mental brush, there's only the faint flicker of a mind unconscious in reply.

You've reached the Mind Mailbox of: "Savith, Head Chosen. I'm not here right now. Please, leave a message, and if My Lord thinks it's okay, I'll get back to you as soon as She Wills." To record your message, wait for the tone. To request another transfer, send to someone else.

BEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEP.  

[EQ Peyote]

Peyote giggled at Blaze, watching him roll to his tummy at her side. She laid near him as he slumped back into sleep. Smiling, she wiggled herself carefully out from under his arm with all the skill of a fur-mate used to untangling oneself without disturbing the pile. Once free of the warm nest of Blaze's arms, she tucks the blankets in about him a bit more, then dressed and moves off to try to find something to make for breakfast. If only she had some stable cereals, breakfast would be UBER yummy.
