Eyes peeled open, the young woman jerked to alertness in a heartbeat, and she pushed herself up on one elbow to look around with eyes still heavy with sleep. At the foot of the bed, Dab eyed her belligerantly, and belatedly she felt both the lingering pinch of pain in her foot and the disapproval from Sleek, the seaspitter clutching the side of the wide bucket that held water for her.
The green one bit you. Your foot moved and she didn’t like it. Riyo’s equally-sleepy comment rose from the couch she was sprawled out on with Gargerrith. She hadn’t moved beside that, trying not to wake her brown brother before he was ready to wake on his own, and her eyes slid closed as Aleni flumped back with a quiet sigh.
She was too awake to go back to sleep, she knew within a moment, and she pushed back the covers. Dab sprang to perch next to Sleek on the rim of the bucket. Quickly shedding her nightclothes, Aleni dressed for the day- not in her nicest clothes, because she had her pets to feed first and she didn’t want to deal with possible stains; at least Riyo was old enough to feed herself now. She’d come back later to change again.
Pushing her feet into boots, Aleni stepped toward the door, only to pause and look around toward Karo’s space at a noise.
