The surface of the rock having already been warmed by the sun was a wonderful contrast to the cool air and it warmed Rikka to her core. Sunbathing had always been a favorite activity of her's and that had only increased when she had gone to live in the commune. They would all get together and spend hours just laying under the sun, talking and picking shapes out in the clouds, smoking, laughing. Those memories would always be among her most treasured and the woman felt an ache for the place she had called home before coming back to Inferni. There were still many doubts she had about returning and she hoped that they would fade instead of getting stronger. The Haight was a long ways away and traveling in winter wouldn't be a good idea. She hoped her restlessness would fade and she would become content with where she was.
She was so comforted by the warmth she felt on her belly and her back right now though she felt herself starting to drift off to sleep. That was, until, something hit her face. What the hell?! Immediately Rikka stood up and shook her head, making sure nothing had attached itself to her. When she was certain nothing was on her she looked down to see a dazed rat. Now, the last time she checked, rats didn't fly, nor did they go and attack canines. One paw moved to hold the rodent down carefully near its head so it couldn't turn and bite her. Then she looked up to a girl who had another rat in her hand and one on her shoulder. One brow raised curiously, having never seen such a sight. The Chaos Star on the other's chest indicated they were relatives. "Is that any way to greet family?" she asked. "Unless of course you were trying to give me a snack." The paw holding the rodent down pulled it closer to her. It was obvious that hadn't been the intent and if this was some kind of pet maybe she would think twice before throwing it at someone again.
