CAT?
Kitty cat?
Pssstttt- Cat?
I woke with voices echoing in my head, the sound rather bewildering after the pleasant dreams I'd been ensconced in.
'What-,' I fumbled around the sheets, brain still not piecing it all together.
CAT!
'Yes!' I yelped.
'Kitten?' Alek, some distance from me on this huge expanse of bed, all cocooned in sheets and cover. 'Go see Kassie, would you. She won't shut up.'
'But,' I began to whine.
With a flick he uncovered his head from the sheets, bloodshot tired blue eyes squinting at me. 'Farewells today. Cabin tonight. Go see Kassie.'
Scowling at his now sheet covered head, I muttered away to myself while scrambling across the bed. The edge was softer than I expected so I promptly tumbled out onto my hands and knees.
'All good?' Al called.
'Fine! Don't you worry yourself.'
I heard his chuckle at my snide reply while I aimed for the doorway.
