He paused for a second, staring down at her, quietly curled onto her side, only her head sticking out above the bedsheet. He looked down at her sleeping form, fascinated by her ears; they were large, mouselike ears set at slight angles from the vertical. He reached down and traced the outer edge of the one visible to him; it flickered under his touch. He smiled and bent over, kissing her inside the 'cup' of her ear. She murmured something unintelligable, and he whispered "It's time to get up." "Hmph," she said. Well, he thought, that pretty clearly explains her position on that. |
