He was glad that the young girl had agreed with him. It would make things a lot easier on his end. Laike followed after her as she bumped his leg and headed towards the main den. The main den was not an ideal place for him to rest but if it got the child to go to bed then he would follow along with it.

"Yes." He mumbled softly. "Come on now. We'll go get some sleep and try looking for more fireflies tomorrow." That was a partial lie on his end. There was a fairly good chance he wouldn't be too interested in Firefly searching tomorrow but he was interested in getting back to a resting place. He made sure not to walk too fast for her still stubby legs and offer a gentle nudge if she strayed too far from their path back.

His jaws parted open in a yawn as the tiredness truly began to settle in. Perhaps all he needed was the child around to wear him thin to the point that sleep would come. "Almost there." The stocky Artemieva male whispered to no one in particular. Soon enough he could wind down for the night and hopefully without a child by his side.
