Morning arrived... Hmm. probably.
Edri slowly opened her eyes, meeting the same cool, pale stone ceiling she had fallen asleep under.
She was still curled up tightly inside the small alcove Rex had carved for her, buried beneath the oversized white medical coat.
For a few long moments, she didn't move a muscle, just enjoying the rare, unbroken peace that had settled over her body.
She rolled onto her side, looking out past the lip of her stone nook toward the entrance of the grotto.
Outside the curtain of vines, the falling water was illuminated by a bright, azure radiance. The waterfall was blue— well, it had been blue all along, catching the early morning sunlight filtering through the deep ravine. Or is that still the moonlight? Hm.
"So... is it morning now?" Edri whispered softly to herself, her raspy voice swallowed by the steady, rhythmic roar of the water.
