At the Stables

The man was tired and weary as he made his slow way towards the stables yet again, he hadn't stopped since he had gotten back from his journey and was still trying to recover from the stress and effort of it all. Having to launch immediately into caring for the animals and the ones he had brought back was slowly eating at him, the Austral man needed a well deserved break badly. Every step he took seemed to drag him further down and the man rubbed at his face tiredly, lines and wrinkles marked his face and clearly displayed his lack of sleep, he looked ready to drop at any moment.

Still thought his duty to the pack came first and he walked with some effort to the stables, the nickers and whinnys of the horses and the smell of hay and horse dung were immensely reassuring to the Spaniard male, something that sparked off the stress relief receptors in his brain even as his body cringed at the idea of the work that lay ahead of him looking after them but he wouldn't change his rank and job for anything. Surprise tinged his features as he entered the stables to find Shiloh asleep on a bale of hay with one of the horses leaning over its stall to sniff at her motionless form.

The woman looked extremely peaceful as she slept, not plagued by her insecurities and perceived faults or by the burns that stretched over her arms and face. The man sighed and wished he could sleep that easily. After a second of two of considering he decided to leave her there for as long as she slept, who knows when was the last time she had slept so peacefully. He quieted his actions as much as possible and began his duties, maneuvering around her when he needed to
