He didn't hear the femael's motherly words as he dozed, falling into a deeper sleep than before. Gideon was awoken more gently this time by the sound of crashing waves and gulls overhead, and he stepped up out of the hole to stretch and yawn. He arched his back like a cat, front paws out in front of him, toes outstretched. Mmmm! He had really needed that nap.
The youngster turned to Layla, watching her sleep for a few moments. She had such long and bushy fur! He wondered how she survived in the sun. He had been told to keep cool by staying in the shade, that his coat was black and because of that factor he would be a lot hotter in the sun. She was a mix of colors, but her coat was much longer than his.
The pup nudged Layla with one paw, trying to get her to wake up. He didn't know how long he'd been asleep (It could have only been five minutes, who knows,) but he wanted her to wake up! She had mentioned a fire, and he was starting to feel really hungry...maybe they would catch something and then cook it! He was interested in hunting, definitely...and also very interested in fire. He'd have to get her to show him how to make a fire.
