It was a hard day, the weather had made sure of that. She was certain that they had not seen the worst parts of the storm, but it was still enough for her to bundle up within the corner of the den, staving off responsibility for at least a little while longer. It was something that had been happening more and more often, early bedtimes and late mornings… it was as if her entire schedule had switched, rather than working herself to the bone she felt more withdrawn, and was sleeping a lot.
She just wouldn’t call it what it was, and refused to let anyone else do so either. She heard someone else enter the den but just moved her paws overtop of her maw, trying to keep herself engrained in the small but warm corner she had crammed herself into. The path outside of the den was slippery at best and a nightmare at worse, the cold climate of the mountain and the lake ensuring that the ice would remain for quite some time.
Which meant that she would remain in the den for quite some time.
