Cretatous Survival (Ash)

Oceana dozed off into a deep sleep, letting out soft sounds as she slept.

Trics continued picking at the leaves, glancing toward Scowler.

Scowler started to graze, keeping an eye on Oceana and Trics as well as their hatchlings.

"Okay" She said softly, nuzzling the male and she slowly laid down, laying her head down to sleep.

Scowler nuzzled her, “get some sleep before we move baby girl”

"Ive eaten" She said softly, gesturing to a small pile of leaves, clearly half eaten, "I just wanted to stay awake until you were up, incase something happened" She told him.

Scowler nuzzled Oceana lovelngly “thank you” he told her, “have you ate and slept?” He demanddd

Trics had still been laying in the same spot, looking like she hadn't moved, but she did seem to be grazing on a pile of leaves in front of her.

Oceana followed her mate's gaze to Trics, "I put those there so she would have them when she wanted them" She said softly to the male.

Scowler chuckled and rubbed against her, the male looking around for Trics.

"You don't usually seem relaxed when you sleep..." She admitted as she nuzzled him softly.

Scowler frowned and nuzzling her gently, raising an eyebrow “for once” he questioned with a chuckle.

Oceana nuzzled the male in return with a soft smile, jolting up as he did, "Scowler, I didn't have the heart to wake you... You looked to peaceful for once..." She gave a soft whimper.

Scowler woke some hours later with a yawn, noticing Oceana scowler nuzzled her lovingly in greeting. Looking about groggily when the male realised he’d overslept he jumped up alarm

Oceana let Scowler sleep much longer than he probably would have wanted, noting the male's peaceful look, she didn't have the heart to disrupt him.

Scowler for the first time in several hours looked peaceful, the male wasn’t worried, angry or stressed he was sleeping soundly.

Oceana stayed awake, keeping an eye on the hatchlings and Trics, frowning as she looked at the other female, Oceana wouldn't say anything, but she was upset with the other female for causing Scowler so much stress.

Scowler nodded, allowing himself to fall asleep.

"Sleep Scowler, I'll wake you in a bit" She promised softly.

Scowler relaxed slightly, laying his head down tiredly near Oceana.

Oceana nuzzled the male and laid with him, fussing over him softly in an attempt to make him feel better.

Scowler nuzzled her again before laying down with a tired yawn.

Oceana nuzzled him and gave a soft smile, giving the male a soft playful nip, trying to help ease him.

Scowler relaxed at Oceanas words, snorting a thank you and rubbing and nuzzling the female.

"You're both trying to mourn Scowler, its okay you're both doing it differently" She began, nuzzling the male, "Its the first loss for both of you, its hard" She said, continuing to rub against the male.

Scowler didn’t like that Oceana was taking Trics side but he couldn’t justify being angry at both of his mates so he snorted in annoyance with a slight nod, nuzzling her briefly.

Oceana followed after Scowler, rubbing against him softly to try and help calm him, "Scowler.." She murmured, frowning softly, "Give her a bit... She'll eat.." She said quietly.
