Warnings/Notes| violence against geese?
[ closed - for Dave ]
After a few days in the Arena, Feferi realizes that her technique of trying to hunt others down isn't going so well. Maybe they hear her coming, or maybe it's just bad luck, but it seems like she always winds up somewhere after someone else has moved on. Her tracking skills could use quite a bit of work, so she decides to come up with a new strategy. It takes some effort to put it all together, but she winds up with... something special. It's getting on into the evening by the time she's done, and she's failed to run into anyone yet, but she's come so far that she can't just give up on it.
Settling herself between a couple well-placed bushes, she's pulled a mass of branches and leaves up to cover the rest of her. With a sharpened, pointed stick, in her little pile of forest refuse, she has built herself a rather conspicuous fortress. From the outside, while it might not seem too off from a distance, once anyone gets close, it's pretty obvious that it's been put together by someone. But that's what the stick is for. She listens closely for anyone to approach, ready to jab the stick out at them.
If they wanted her to be better at this, they would have given her a little more warning, or maybe put them on a tropical island with a beach nearby instead.

It's a good thing that Feferi is a light sleeper and an early riser, otherwise sleeping outdoors like this would take a tougher toll on her than it already has. As it stands, waking up cold is unpleasant, but this morning she has a little extra warmth that she steals from Dave. It doesn't take her long to get up and on her feet and get her things stowed away. She's wary of staying resting in any one place for too long. She'll remember her way back to the little alcove of rocks, but also be mindful that someone else might find it and get the same idea.
First order of the day is to find something to eat. She's had moderate luck slaying animals and either eating them raw or building a little fire to cook them over, and armed with her trusty stick-- rock-sharpened at one end and heavy at the other-- she's almost as perky as ever. You'd never think she was here to murder people, but that comes after breakfast.
"Come on, time to get going! Those honkbeasts are not going to hunt themselves!" There's no need to announce it-- she tells Dave she's going to go hunt some geese as soon as he's awake-- but it's worth repeating to try and get him to follow along once she's ready to go.

"That you have great taste, probably." He points out, though there's an internal flinch when he thinks of Sollux. He's not sure why he feels guilty, he's just watching out for his girl. It's not like he's stealing her. It's not like he wants to steal her. It's not like she wants to be stolen. Right? Right. But she's cold, so he isn't doing his job anyway.
"I just had a thought." He announces, because this is turn of the century stuff. He shifts back, unzipping his coat and opening it as invitingly as he can in the dark. "Step into my office."

"Have I ever told you that you are my favorite human? Because you are definitely my favorite human." Sorry Jade. Not your fault for not being there to give Feferi warm snuggles, but what can you do?
no subject
But whatever. Emergency.
"I assumed." He answers blandly, as if he isn't sincerely flattered by it. He gets about midway through zipping it up over her before he considers her hair, so he very gingerly hooks a hand under the bulk of it so he can properly drape it away from the zip. "I'd say you're mine, but the last thing we need is Karkat summoning himself in here, flaring his nostrils and shrieking."

"Oh, that's a good idea though. Save that one for later, next time we need to find him!" The worst, or perhaps best part, is that she can almost picture it actually happening. "It's okay though, you don't have to say it. Who is going to take first watch?"
She's all ready to doze off when she stops to think that maybe they should still take turns sleeping. Just because they're tucked away in this little cave doesn't necessarily mean they're safe. Anyone could find their hideout at any time during the night. Though even if they're both awake, it's sort of like fish in a barrel...
"If you even want to take turns. I don't even know if it matters."

The fact that she's dozing off is pretty obvious just from the way she's breathing against him. He's pretty buzzed. Tired, but still alert and still eagerly protective. Too much-much to sleep at this point, so he just rests his chin on her head while avoiding the horns as best he can.
"You sleep. I still got braining to do. I'll give you a nudge if I feel myself drifting off." He won't, and she probably knows, but that's irrelevant.
