"Hey Raven."

"Rrm."

"Raven, wake up." A pair of hands pushed against her shoulder. The empath didn't move.

"Guway."

"Raaaven."

"Gonna kill you, Beast Boy," she threatened unconvincingly.

Beast Boy shook his head, pulling the blankets off of Raven's shoulders. "Later. Robin wants everybody up." A draft of cold air swept over the dark sorceress's bare cheeks, and, forced into the waking world with a chilled shiver, she groaned. Opening her eyes, Raven peered through the gloom of the night to see, as suspected, Beast Boy hovering over her. The teenager had a surprised look on his face, and Raven suddenly remembered what she had been hiding under the thick sheets. Hurriedly shoving the small scarlet pillow that she clutched to her chest behind her back, Raven jerked the blankets out of Beast Boy's hands and shot him a death glare that dared him to say something about it. She threw one blanket into the corner so it covered the pillow, and, not even giving the shape-shifter a chance to speak a word, brushed past her teammate and to where Robin, Cyborg, and Starfire were gathered by a window.

Hearing Beast Boy scramble to catch up, Raven draped the blanket she'd held onto around her arms, making sure to keep from creating eye contact with the boy who had given her the very pillow she was trying so desperately hide. In truth, after he'd handed it to her, Raven hadn't thought to put the cushion back in her sleeping quarters or on the table in the main room, instead forgetting completely that she was holding it and only remembering when she was ten minutes into the flight to Cyborg's location. Seeing how cold she had been, every little aspect of warmth or comfort was appealing, and, against her better judgment, the empath retrieved the pillow along with the blankets and food she'd fetched for her teammates. Reluctantly Raven admitted to herself that the small cushion was quite comfortable despite its miniature size.

Robin spotted the darkest member of the team approaching and turned around from where he was speaking with Starfire. "I see that Beast Boy got you up," he observed, a hint of amusement in his expression.

"Much to my dismay." Raven wrapped the spare blanket tighter over her shoulders to keep in body heat. "What do you want?"

Directing the group to the framed window he and Starfire were hovering nearby, Robin pointed outside. The blowing snow had lessened considerably, and now light flakes spiraled in a soft dance to the ground, the occasional fleck landing on the glass pane to display its unique design. Raven was unimpressed.

"So you woke me up to see snow. Thanks," she said, sarcasm dripping from her words as she wrapped the blanket closer around her arms.

"Well… I guess you could say that…" Robin scratched the back of his neck when Starfire jumped in.

"But it is so pretty!" The alien princess floated up to get a better view, though that seemed unnecessary since she was the second tallest in the group and Cyborg was presently back by Beast Boy.

Robin smiled a tad. "Actually Raven, the reason I woke everyone up was to discuss if we were willing to move out now or wait until morning. There is always the chance that we could make it back home if we left now, but we could also try in the morning when the snow will have blown over, stayed the same, or gotten worse. I think that if we tried now, the T-ship's engine might start. However, if we do leave and get stuck, it's going to be very cold." He looked at the Titans as Starfire floated back to earth beside him. "I'm calling this a group decision. What do you think, team?"

Beast Boy shrugged. He wasn't against the idea of getting home and curling up in his nice warm bed, but staying in the current house out of the wind didn't displease him either. Mainly he just wanted to get back to sleep. Thus far he'd rested more or less peacefully save for a few shivering awakenings, but everyone was experiencing those.

Raven was the first to speak her opinion out loud, lack of sleep making her less and less compatible with her teammates. "I think that I'm too tired to care," she grumbled. Robin frowned. They were all sleepy, but his dark friend seemed the most difficult to deal with when she was tired. Then again, maybe he shouldn't have sent Beast Boy to wake her up.

Cyborg nodded thoughtfully. Presently he was the most awake, his ability to sleep on a hard floor comfortably providing assurance of a deep slumber. "Y'know, now that I think about it, Raven's kinda got a point, man. If we try driving in a state of mind like hers-," -at this Raven shot him a dirty look-, "-we might end up in the ocean on our way home. And besides," he added, "we'd have to split up if we decide to leave 'cause I still gotta make it to the Titans East Tower, and I'm not lookin' forward to driving through that alone in cold weather."

"You've got a point, Cyborg," Robin admitted. "I hadn't thought about that." He looked at Starfire and Beast Boy, neither having stated their thoughts on the situation yet. "Any objections to staying here?" Beast Boy shrugged again, and, when Starfire took Robin's hand and shook her head, the leader decided. "Alright everyone, get on back to sleep. We'll head out in the morning." Raven was already walking back to her corner before he finished the sentence, her fogged-over brain telling her to get more rest as soon as possible. Beast Boy turned his head toward her, shifting his weight from foot to foot. A strange, uncomfortable feeling settled in his stomach. The vegetarian jerky he had eaten earlier must be disagreeing with him. Who knew how long it had been in the T-ship, especially taking into consideration that no one ate vegetarian jerky but him, and therefore the few times they did buy it were few and spaced out by months. Seeing his green friend's antsy movements, Cyborg elbowed the shape-shifter, but when Beast Boy glanced back at him, his metallic teammate looked on ahead innocently, hands held behind his back. Ignoring the robotic teenager, Beast Boy followed after Raven into the corner of the building. With a low chuckle for the boy, Cyborg approached the fire once more for some much-needed sleep. Robin and Starfire hung behind.

Now alone, the two bashful teenagers searched for something to say to one another, but, finding nothing in particular that they could discuss, instead ended up sharing glances back and forth. After a while, Robin awkwardly cleared his throat and faced the window.

"So… Are you sure you're alright with staying the night here, Star?" he asked, shadows of the snowflakes casting over his skin.

Starfire touched his shoulder, leaning back into his chest and peering through the snow-covered pane at the landscape behind it. Robin was unable to fight the heated tremble that claimed him. "Yes, Robin," she replied softly. "I honestly prefer staying with you and our friends. I have had much of the fun." She slipped her hand into Robin's, and his other arm went around her shoulder. "And in what other way would we be able to sleep in the same room together without creating 'the rumors'?" she added in so quiet a tone that the leader of the Titans had to take a minute to realize and then process what she'd said. As he was doing so, and as the wide look crossed his face, Starfire pulled back from Robin slightly.

"Robin?" she questioned, and he moved his head toward her. "Did you mean to share your blanket with me? When I awoke I was quite surprised to find you…," she paused, blushing with a fragile hand on his chest, "…so close to me."

Robin's abdominal muscles tightened nervously. "U-uh, yeah, is that okay?"

Amazing him, Starfire sighed, her lips curving up in a beautiful smile. She entwined her other free hand with his. "It was a wonderful surprise, Robin. I enjoyed it quite so." The knot of worry in Robin's stomach untangled, and he glanced at the fireplace. Turning back to Starfire's curious eyes, the teenager tilted his head toward the heat source. "Come on; let's get warmed up." Fingers tightening in his, the alien princess obliged, and she and Robin quietly found their place together in front of the fire.

In the cold corner of the room, Raven seemed to have found herself in the unexpected and undesired company of a certain green teenager. The dark empath had just started to settle down, adjusting the blankets around her once more for warmth and to hide the pillow again, when someone's shoulder bumped against hers. Raven turned and saw, to her shock, Beast Boy looking back with bright green eyes and a grin on his face.

"What do you think you're doing?!" she demanded, pulling away from him to draw further into the corner.

Beast Boy was undeterred by her harsh tone. "Nothing much. Since when you grabbed your blanket earlier, you also took mine, so I figured we might as well share!"

Raven couldn't believe what she was hearing. "Are you serious?" When her friend only continued to smile at her, the girl groaned. "You're an idiot." Tightening all the blankets around her, Raven faced the corner. Beast Boy quickly grabbed her shoulder.

"Oh, come on, Rae! It's not that big a deal!" he exclaimed, making Raven whip back to face him.

"Shh!" she snapped. "Some people are trying to sleep!"

Beast Boy looked over the room. Starfire and Robin were cuddled near the fire together, neither sleeping and giving no intention of doing so. As he and Raven were over in the corner right then, the only teenager snoring all by himself was Cyborg. Still, Beast Boy didn't know what Raven was worried about. Cyborg's snorts in between his sleep-mumbles were loud enough to cover up any other noise, and the robotic teenager had always been a heavy sleeper. Beast Boy was about to say so, but Raven sighed impatiently, cutting him off.

"I meant me," she growled.

"Oh," Beast Boy realized, grinning sheepishly. Not wanting to leave quite yet, however, he was quick to change the subject to something he knew the dark girl couldn't ignore so easily. "So," he started, recalling what he'd seen when waking Raven up earlier, "you kept it, huh?"

Raven's impassive expression slipped for a moment before she recovered with a glare. "What are you talking about?"

Beast Boy only smiled harder. "The pillow I gave you. You kept it!"

Deciding ignorance was her best defense at the moment, Raven narrowed her eyes at him, taking on an air of confusion. "I have no idea what you mean."

"Really?" Beast Boy leaned closer to her, and Raven fought the urge to draw away, staying stubbornly immobile. "Then what are you hiding behind your back?" Suddenly the boy reached over her stomach for the small pillow, and Raven jerked away, rolling on her side so Beast Boy wouldn't see it although she already knew he was aware of its presence. Nevertheless, if the shape-shifter actually got a clear look at the little cushion she'd never hear the end of it. Beast Boy's hand brushed over her arm, trying to grab the pillow, and he unexpectedly stopped, pulling back. Hesitantly, Raven glanced at him, wondering what had halted the boy. Beast Boy was looking at her with concern. "Rae, you're freezing!"

Raven drew her shoulders together. "It's cold in here, and so is everyone else. What did you expect?"

Beast Boy didn't back down. "No, but Raven, you're really cold! I mean, like icy! Have you been sleeping like that?" Raven just shrugged, wishing he would leave her alone so she could get some sleep. His close proximity to her was invading her personal space, and it wasn't helping that her cheeks badly wanted to blush.

Raven was pulled from her thoughts when two warm hands grabbed one of hers. She was so shocked that she couldn't even pull a witty retort out of her mouth, but Beast Boy didn't seem to notice her dazed silence. Nose scrunching up slightly in concentration, he rubbed Raven's hand in between his, making friction and heating up her skin. When he was finished with her left hand, he moved onto her right, and soon enough Raven's fingers were back to a normal temperature.

Raven managed to speak, suppressing the trembles that threatened to rise in her throat. "Uh… Thanks."

Beast Boy said nothing at first, frowning at her. It was obvious that his actions were not going to do much to keep the girl warm for long, and the shape-shifter's mind flickered to the thoughts of frostbite and hypothermia. Before, he had believed that Raven was warm in that cape of hers, but it looked like Beast Boy's earlier speculation was way off; Raven's cloak was not as heated as he'd assumed. An idea crossed his mind, and his mouth stretched into a bright grin. Raven was too busy trying to get her emotions under control to realize it until he spoke.

"You know Raven, you should be more careful," the green shape-shifter scolded her, shaking his finger in the air at his friend. His other hand still had hers in it, held up in the space between them. "Even with all these blankets, how hard would it have been to move over to the fire if you were cold?"

"I'm fine, thank you," Raven responded, wondering where he was going with this.

"Hm… Are you?" Beast Boy shook his head, touching her shoulder with his whole hand. "Nope, still freezing cold. Now what can you do to stay warm?" Raven's brow furrowed, trying to understand what he was saying. The obvious answer was to go over by the fire, but the empath suspected that her teammate had something else in mind. The question was, what was it? Beast Boy smiled as the girl's expression flickered in between confusion and concentration. Whereas Robin thought she was very uncooperative, the shape-shifter thought that Raven was a lot more entertaining when she was sleep deprived. Seeing as she had no idea what he was talking about, Beast Boy had to laugh. "Okay, okay. Here… I'll give you a hint." The shape-shifter swiftly grabbed a blanket and then proceeded to toss it over Raven's head. Raven groaned irritably, pulling the sheet out of her eyes, and stopped in surprise upon seeing a large, green polar bear at her side grinning back. Somehow Beast Boy had slipped behind her in the time she was removing the blanket from her vision, and now his furry body encircled the girl, his heat like a radiator.

"Beast Boy," Raven gasped, this time unable to fight the blush that colored her entire face. "What are you doing?!" The polar bear grunted, something similar to a smile on his maw, and tilted his head. Raven's eyes darted to where Robin and Starfire were leaned on one another in front of the fire, occasionally murmuring words in the other's ear. Neither was paying any attention to their purple and green teammates in the corner.

"This seems extremely intimate," Raven protested, all of her muscles rigid. Beast Boy lifted his enormous head, bumping the pillow that had found its way back into her arms with his nose, and then, closing his eyes, settled his chin on the floor. Raven pulled her blankets closer to her, resisting the urge to rap him on the head with the pillow she held, but instead hesitantly leaned back against the polar bear's fur. She hated to admit it, but Beast Boy had been right about her being cold, and the shape-shifter was surprisingly warm. With a defeated sigh, Raven turned on her side, shifting her fingers through the soft pelt she rested on, and let sleep claim her.

A gentle beam of light crawled across Raven's face, highlighting streaks of purple in her hair and warming her face. Blinking open her eyes to the sunlight, the girl exhaled, angling her head so her nose was tickled by several strands of green fur. In a vague moment, she remembered the night before and just who was underneath her acting as a heated mattress. Raven hastily pulled her head away, glancing about the room. Much to her relief, the other teenagers nearby were all fast asleep. Robin and Starfire were leaned on one another in front of the fireplace, warm coals casting a slight scarlet glow about the couple, and Cyborg had still not moved from his position on the ground, though his snoring had lessened considerably.

Beast Boy, aroused by Raven's movement, let out a long yawn and raised his large eyes to look at the dark girl seated next to his stomach. Raven subconsciously pulled her blanket tighter around her shoulders.

The two looked at one another for a small stretch of time, until, without warning, Beast Boy shifted back into his human form. Unbalanced, the empath nearly fell backwards onto him but just managed to stop in time. Taking that as a hint to move out of the way, Beast Boy crawled out from behind her and shifted next to the girl, pulling one of her blankets over his arms. He smiled a little, nudging her with his elbow, and his bedhead bounced slightly from the movement. "So, how'd you sleep?"

Raven shook her head at him. "Really?"

"Eh heh, sorry," he apologized. "But that wasn't so bad, right?" Raven reluctantly shook her head again. "You know…," Beast Boy started in a tone that made the dark sorceress antsy, "this was kinda like a sleepover! And it wasn't bad! See?! It's like we're having a sleepover now! And you didn't hate it!"

Now that she was awake, Raven was able to come up with a good response instead of a delirious, sleep-deprived one. Wearing a small smirk, the empath replied, "That reminds me;you do know that I don't believe for one minute that you, Cyborg, and Robin weren't trying to get into the sleepover, right?"

Beast Boy froze, staring at her. His mouth moved on its own, opening and closing a few times before eventually twisting into a fake grin. "Uh… W-what?" In charge of the situation for the first time since the night before, Raven felt herself calming as the control returned.

"You know what I'm talking about."

"Uh, not really…" The shape-shifter hastily changed the subject. "S-so uh… You… brought the pillow with you, huh?" he stammered, forgetting that he'd used that topic as a distraction the night before.

Knowing that he was trying to sidetrack her, Raven rolled her eyes, not quite ready to allow Beast Boy to believe that he'd successfully diverted her attention. He had pulled that trick once already and the empath wasn't about to be caught off guard again. "I'll answer that statement when you respond to mine."

Beast Boy smirked nervously. "Fair enough." He leaned back, resting his head against the wall, and shifted the blanket covering them. Raven, usually so comfortable with silence, found herself in the need of a conversation. She wasn't sure why; perhaps it had to do with distracting her mind from the green teenager that had his shoulder pressed into hers.

Thinking back to yesterday's trip to the park that felt like it was months ago, Raven glanced at Beast Boy. "Do you transform in your sleep sometimes?" she asked.

Beast Boy returned her gaze curiously. "Yeah. Why?"

"I'm just wondering." The girl rubbed the edge of the blanket between her fingers. "Do you know why you do it?"

"Eh, not really." Shrugging, Beast Boy shook his head. "I've woken up in a bunch of different forms, luckily nothing big. It could do with a dream I had, or it could be something else. I never really thought about it. But it's not like I've tried to do it before; I'm usually asleep at that point," he joked.

Raven nodded thoughtfully. Silence threatened the air once more, and she was quick to find another subject. "I was… not cold last night. Thank you."

This topic seemed to please Beast Boy, especially since Raven was thanking him instead of yelling at him. "Yeah, it was no problem, Rae! You're not cold now, right?"

"No, I'm… fine, Beast Boy."

"Hm, that's what you said last night," the shape-shifter recalled. "I dunno…"

Raven sighed wearily, seeing where he might be headed with this. "But what about you?" she inquired, sidetracking her teammate. "You weren't cold?"

"With all that fur I had on and you next to me?" Beast Boy chuckled. "I doubt I could have been warmer." He paused, trying to recall what he'd been talking about before Raven preoccupied him. Much to the empath's dismay, he remembered. "Now, as I was saying, I don't know if I believe you when you tell me you aren't cold."

"Oh, the horror," Raven replied dryly.

Beast Boy shook his head. "Well, because you didn't tell us how cold you were yesterday, I now am assigning myself as the assignee person who makes sure you aren't cold," he declared.

"Really?" Raven crossed her arms with a doubtful look on her face. "Assignee person?"

"Yeah! It's a word!" the green teenager insisted. He wasn't sure if it was the right word, but it sounded close enough and Raven knew what he meant. "Alright, now let's see…" He took up her hands in his again, testing the temperature through his gloves. Raven just managed to keep her cheeks from flushing. "Okay, your hands are good," he determined with a decisive nod, moving onto her arms and running his fingers over her shoulders. A very slight scarlet tinge colored the bridge of Raven's nose. "And you're fine here," Beast Boy concluded. "Even warmer actually. You're warmer as I go up," he realized, and then adding jokingly, "Are you sure you're not hotheaded, Rae?"

"Not yet," Raven succeeded in replying. "But be careful what you wish for."

Beast Boy laughed quietly, at the same time shifting his hands to Raven's face. There, his palms touched her jawline and his thumbs ran over her cheeks, causing the girl to blush all throughout without any accomplishment at restraint. The smile wavered on Beast Boy's mouth, and his voice softened a margin. "You're good here too," he said quietly. The boy's breath subtly increased in pace, but Raven was too preoccupied to notice. She was so close to him that she found she didn't have any air to breathe. Ever so faintly, she inclined toward her friend, and Beast Boy did the same, inching closer to Raven as cautiously as if he was approaching a scared animal. His hands trembled on her cheeks, and the motion traveled through Raven's body and down her spine. Beast Boy seemed to have a sudden surge of courage, and, dropping his careful restraint, leaned in.

Raven and Beast Boy jumped apart in surprise when Cyborg suddenly sat up on the floor, shouting, "NO, NOT THE WAFFLES!" By the fire, Robin and Starfire jolted awake, smacking their heads together by accident as they turned to see what was wrong. Both groaned, massaging the new sore spot on their foreheads. Raven was quick to stand and approach their robotic friend, Beast Boy following her at a slower pace and rubbing the back of his neck.

Cyborg blinked several times, his cybernetic eye whirring as the room came into focus. He lifted his head to see Raven and Beast Boy staring down at him, the empath wearing an impassive expression laced with confusion, and the shape-shifter dealing with a muddled look on his face.

Raven crossed her arms. "Did you say what I think you just said?"

"What did I say?" Cyborg asked, only half remembering his dream. Vague images of waffle irons standing atop the earth flickered through his mind; a recollection of the nightmare he'd experienced. He scratched his nose, trying to remember. "Was it something about waffles?"

"So I didn't dream that," Robin muttered as he helped Starfire to her feet. The alien princess glanced over her teammates, stopping on Raven. Her eyes lit up, but Starfire stayed beside Robin for the time being. The young leader looked out the window. "Well, it seems like it stopped snowing. Feel up for trying to head back?"

Raven attempted to ignore the strange emotions that were spiking off of Beast Boy. "Ready ever since I woke up."

Starfire nodded in correspondence, adding, "Yes, I am the ready as well."

Registering their replies, Robin addressed the male members of the team. "Cyborg? Beast Boy?"

Cyborg stretched his arms above his head, yawning. "Yeah man, I'm ready to get outta here. I'll call Bumblebee and then start the T-ship." Waving his hand at the teenagers, he swung open the door, and a consecutive shiver followed as the cold air washed over everyone in the room. Cyborg grit his teeth and ran out.

Robin began to gather their few things in his arms, such as blankets and leftover food, and then headed out after Cyborg, leaving Raven, Starfire, and Beast Boy alone in the room. As Starfire continued in Robin's example in cleaning up, Raven lifted an eyebrow at the green shape-shifter hovering near her shoulder. "Beast Boy."

The blank look in his eyes faded at her voice, and Beast Boy hastily looked up. "U-uh, yeah?"

Raven pulled up her hood. "We're leaving. Where have you been?"

"I-I'm not sure…," he admitted, scratching the back of his head again. He bit his lip, sights set on Raven, and had opened his mouth to say something when Starfire jumped in between them. She carried in her arms a bundle of blankets, and, wearing a light smile, the alien princess held them out to Beast Boy.

"Friend Beast Boy, would you be so kind as to bring these to the T-ship?" she asked him. "I would like to have 'the word' with Raven." Raven subconsciously tensed. What did Starfire want to talk about with her separate from Beast Boy? The green shape-shifter in question blinked as Starfire released her load into his hands, and, seeing no reason to refuse her request, staggered out the door under the weight. The moment the door closed, Starfire whirled to Raven, grasping the darker girl by the arms with an excited light dancing in her eyes.

"Friend Raven, I have the most wonderful news!"

Raven stared at her, possibilities as to what could have gotten her friend so enthusiastic racing through her mind. "U-uh, yeah, Starfire?"

The taller girl was practically jumping up and down. "Last night when you had left the game, I had started to fall asleep when Robin, Cyborg, and Beast Boy began talking about the sleepover we had, and Cyborg did the confession of liking Bumblebee!"

"Wait, what, really?" Raven asked skeptically, taking a moment to absorb the rush of information. "Really? When you were right there?"
Starfire smiled, a little embarrassed. "Well, I had only begun to fall asleep and suppose they believed I was to be sleeping."

Raven shook her head in disbelief. "You're sure this wasn't a dream?

"Most positive!" The alien princess floated off of the ground happily. "How glorious! Oh, I cannot wait until we speak with Bumblebee! She will be most pleased!"

"Hang on a minute, Star," Raven said, halting her friend's enthusiasm in its tracks. The corners of her mouth lifted up a little. "We don't have to tell her. There are no rules about that in the agreement we made. And if we tell Bumblebee then she's sure to get a kiss; it wouldn't be fair to the rest of us." Her words created a pause in Starfire, and the alien princess slowly sank back to the ground, internally wrestling with the urge to tell her friend and the point Raven had. As if to convince her further, Raven added, "She would be so confident that she would just plant one on him without worry. Her not knowing is probably the only thing that's kept her from doing so thus far, and then we would be left to complete our tasks without any help from her."

Starfire wrung her hands together nervously. "I-I suppose you are correct."

Another thought occurred to Raven, Starfire's words catching up to her. "And why were the boys talking about our sleepover in the first place?"

"Oh, um…," Starfire put a finger to her chin, recalling the night before. "Robin had 'the feeling' that he was missing something and thought it might have to do with our sleepover." Raven frowned, storing away the information and creating a mental note to be more careful when it came to anything that dealt with the sleepover. Starfire clasped her fingers together, once again in an ecstatic mood. "But friend Raven, it took all I had not to do the joyous jumping at his words! And upon seeing you and friend Beast Boy this morning-!"

Raven froze, a strange, tingling sensation running up and down her body at the mention of her and Beast Boy. Forcing herself to take deep breaths, she shoved the next words out of her mouth. "Alright Starfire, calm down for a minute! First of all, if you ever breathe a word of what you saw with Beast Boy and I this morning to anyone, I will never forgive you. And second of all-," the dark girl's tone took on a hint of pleading, "-what did you see?"

Starfire tilted her head slightly, the wide smile she wore bright in the dark building. "Once Robin and I awoke to Cyborg's shouting, I may have caught the glance of you and Beast Boy sitting in the corner together. Did you perhaps sleep beside one another last night?"

Fighting to suppress the relief she felt, Raven dipped her head. Starfire had not actually seen what the empath feared. "Not by my choice, but yes," she admitted. Starfire squealed with delight as suddenly the door swung open, Robin standing in the doorway. A gust of cold wind brushed over the girls, making them shiver, and the young leader shot them both strange looks before jerking his thumb at the ship.

"You girls got everything in the ship? The motor started right up and we're all ready to go. Cyborg already left to head over to the Titans East, and it's about time we get home."

Starfire smiled, moving toward Robin, but Raven walked over to the coals of the fire. "I'll put this out and meet you in the ship," she said. Robin nodded, closing the door and leaving Raven to herself. The empath poked at the dying coals with a broken stick, shifting ash over it and spreading the embers apart. Eventually finishing her task, Raven stood. Dusting her hands together to get the ash off her fingers, the empath glanced over at the corner where she and Beast Boy slept the night before. With a sigh, she approached it, stooping, and snatching up a small object off the floor. Slipping it within the folds of her cloak, Raven exited the small building, the little scarlet pillow hidden from the others' view.
