She had heard Askan's call, about coming home with company and her heart had sunk. Who did he drag home this time? But despite her initial trepidation all was well. She was a visitor and Percy had allowed herself to relax and enjoy the strangers company until she realised the traveller was probably as tired as Askan had been and it was probably rude to keep her awake chewing her ear off and asking questions about the lands that stretched beyond those she had already explored.
Caring less about being rude to Askan, she had taken her leave and gone to seek the dark man out. Her head dipped low as she spotted him, sleeping soundly. Silly Askan. He should know better than to let his guard down, even within his own territory. Her shoulders bunched and she lowered herself, wide smile already working its way onto her face as she envisioned all that was about to go down. There would probably be yelling, and grumbling, and a lot of laughter from her silver ticked face. Should she do as she had when she was younger and tug on an ear or should she try to grab him by the snout with a challenging growl?
Never mind that, she had land her hit first. There was hardly a need to creep up on him, as soundly asleep as he was, but she did it anyway, for the sake of practicing.
