~Sleepyheads~
Daja was getting tired of looking around the empty forge. She yawned. She looked at the novice wearing white slumbering peacefully in the corner.
Maybe I should take a little nap, too, she thought.
She slowly made her way over to Kirel's corner. She laid down next to him and closed her eyes. Her awareness faded as dreams took over her mind.

Kirel yawned and rubbed his eyes. Where am I? he thought. He was about to get up when he noticed the figure next to him. He smiled; it was Daja.
Somehow, while they were sleeping, the two had shifted so that her head was now on his chest. Kirel knew Daja was dreaming—she was moving slightly and mumbling in her sleep.
He smiled affectionately at the headful of braids. Wow. I never realized how pretty she is. He looked outside and noticed that the sun was still high in the sky. I still have a little time. I think I'll just rest my eyes a bit. With that, the young man closed his eyes with the intention of opening them again in a few minutes. Unconsciously, he pulled Daja closer to him.
Within minutes, Kirel was fast asleep.
TO BE CONTINUED...
Author's Note: I have ideas for at least 3 more chapters. I have a title for another chapter after that, but I have no idea what the plot's going to be. So hang tight and I'll get these chapters out as soon as I can.
