On her face is a map of the world

She worked on getting as much dust out of the blanket as she could. She was dissatisfied with the method that she had chosen to try and get it clean the first time, as it remained quite dusty, but didn't think that there was anything else that she could do for the time being. It was going to get colder out tonight and if she tried to wash it it would surely just freeze overnight and not dry. Perhaps the next day would be a better one for washing everything and hanging it up. Ember had noticed a clothesline out back behind the place.

She carried the still-dusty blanket back inside, spreading it out on the bed anyway. It was better than nothing, and she would find the time to bathe in the morning if she slept on or under it. As she continued to work she wondered about the home's previous occupants. There were several pairs of shoes on the floor, but they were much smaller than her feet and would never have fit her. She tossed them out of the broken window in the bedroom, knocking out a small pane of glass that had been hanging by one edge as well.

Ember yawned as she straightened up the rest of the room, organizing the closet and finding more sheets and blankets in a few of the boxes. These were far cleaner than the one on the bed and she swapped them out immediately. Much better! She was just getting the boxes put back into the closet when she heard footsteps behind her and a loud clunk. She felt certain that it was Moonfyre and didn't turn back around at first, still straightening a few things up.

His touch at her back was a surprise, however, at first. She stiffened for a moment, eyes darting back and forth wildly as she fought the urge to move away from him. Ember was unused to hugs, and after what she had gone through with Haku she would need some small reassurances. After a few seconds she calmed herself down, thinking to herself. This was Moon. Not Haku, not anyone else. This was OK. And she placed her hands over his above her belly, moving her head to the side to lean against his a bit. "What are you thinkin' about? She asked.

Did Ember ever drink alcohol ?

Moonfyre held onto her, not wanting to let go. He never wanted to let go, but knew he had to at some point in the next minute to avoid the hug being weird. He let go of her and took a step back and reached out to the bottle of Vodka on the desk behind him. Before he actually even opened it, he answered her question.

I’m thinking about how much I like you, how nice that hug felt, and how I don’t really know how love feels. If this is love, then I love the feeling.

He unscrewed the top off the vodka bottle and took a big gulp. He drank vodka before and was used to its burning taste, but he hadn’t had any in a while. He winced when the alcohol burned his throat as it went down. His eyes teared just the slightest bit, but he was fine in the matter of seconds. He looked down at the bottle and stared at it for a moment before taking another decent sized sip. Then he held the bottle out to Ember nudging it toward her, encouraging her to drink it.

Drink it, it’ll make you warm.

She paused before answering him, unsure of what to say for a moment. She had been in love a very long time before...and then again when she had felt for Dawali. That time, she had almost been afraid to speak of it. Then when she had told the leader of her feelings, he had told her that he hadn't felt the same. Now she felt afraid to even think of such things, much less voice them aloud. "I had a mate once...and have felt the feeling before. It's the same..so I think that it could be" She didn't elaborate on Khaden, her past mate. He had left her just like all the others.

Ember did not know about the affects of alcohol on unborn children, and took the bottle from Moon without hesitance. She put it to her lips, already feeling a slight burn as she tilted the bottle back to take a sip. She had to clear her throat a few times before she could take another drink, wishing that she had water or something to drink afterward. She got the drink down well enough, then handed it back to him. Ember went to the bed, sitting on the edge of it. "There's only this one bed" She said, in case he hadn't noticed the absence of another sleeping-place.

OoC

Moonfyre saw Ember struggle with the bottle for a moment. Then she handed it back to him and he took another big sip before capping it. He placed it gently on the table beside the bed. He felt a little woozy and like the world was spinning ever so slightly. Not enough to keel over, though. He looked around; She was right just one bed. He thought about it for a moment. The bed looked big enough to hold both of them, though, and he wondered if she’d be okay with that.

Would you mind sharing the bed? It looks as if we’d both fit comfortably.

It was hard to put how she felt into words. Ember had always been a very independent wolf until now. She didn’t like to think of herself as sad or depressed, and didn’t feel that way 99% of the time. However, there were times like this when she felt tiny prickles of pain and fear creep back into her subconscious mind. She was trying to accept this and be alright with it, but her past had taught her that trusting anyone but a completely devoted family member was a mistake.

He had spoken of love, but what kind of love did he mean? She held love for her family and friends...perhaps that was what it was. She took the bottle from where he had placed it on the table and had one more drink, more warmth beginning to seep through her despite her distance from the male. ”We don’t really have any other options…but we can see about getting another bed in here sometime, maybe.” And maybe not.

She scooted herself backward on the bed so that her back was against the wall, curling her legs up in front of her. Once he was settled she would lie down too. She wasn’t sure at times, but things would probably change as she got more comfortable…and even now, the alcohol was beginning to affect her a little. Calming. Perhaps if she had a drink each night before bed she would feel better. It was one option, anyway.

Can you make me a cool table for Moonfyre too? I think he needs some new ones. (If you want and have time, that is Smile )

Sleeping in the same bed with Ember. Wow, that was something he thought would never happen, but maybe he should turn back into a wolf to give Ember more room. He liked to sleep with a lot of room, but sleeping with another will be a new experience for him. It would be special since she would be the first he would try this with. He smiled as he watched her sit back on the bed. He looked around, and wow none of the windows were broken in here. That was especially awesome because no cold air would be swooping past them while they were sleeping.

Moonfyre walked toward Ember’s side of the bed, and took the bottle off the nightstand. He took another big gulp, and started to feel numb, and warm. Then he placed it gently back on the table and slid it toward Ember slightly. He walked back over to the other side of the bed, and sat down. He too leaned his back on the wall, but kept his long legs out straight and extended an arm around Ember in an attempt to keep her warm. He wasn’t really tired, but he was relaxed enough, and he felt silly from the alcohol. He began to laugh out of nowhere not even knowing exactly what he was laughing about.

Though it was chilly outside, the room began to feel warmer and warmer. She could almost feel heat radiating off of Moonfyre's body as she laid down completely, limbs stretching out a bit as she relaxed further. She had been sitting up beside the male, but when he went to put his arm around her she laid down, motioning for him to as well. She wanted him to be comfortable too...then they could fall asleep.

Ember yawned and looked up at the ceiling from her position on her back. Would every night be like this one from now on? She needed someone around other than Tayui to help her..and to reassure her. Maybe it was a good idea to have him around after all. It would be great.

Maybe we should end this one in the next few posts? ‘Cause they’re getting ready to sleep anyways Smile

After sitting against the backboard the alcohol began working its magic. The room felt like it was spinning slightly, and his eyelids began to droop. He let out a large yawn, and blinked a few times after. He looked toward Ember, and slid down to lay on the bed. He rested his large furry head on her chest, and closed his eyes. He sighed deeply, but he wasn’t sleeping yet.

His big body took up his half of the bed, but Ember still had more than enough room for herself. His big fluffy tail hung off the side of the bed, but that didn’t bother him much. He was very comfortable lying on Ember. He forgot about the rest of the world, and was on his own planet.

End! If the slight powerplay is alright.

There was much going on in her mind, but the alcohol was helping to calm her down a bit. Ember didn't often partake in the stank liquid, but tonight was a special night. She had made a major decision; she and Moonfyre would be staying together. As friends, or as more, she didn't know yet. That would be found out in time. She needed someone to be there for her, and perhaps he was that someone.

He put his head on her chest and she moved to put one arm around him. Her fingers brushed over his fur lightly, running down the part of him that her hands could reach, his neck, shoulder, and arm. It was comforting, and she found herself lost in the motions as she drifted off into dreamland.
