Raiden flopped over on his side, fanning his nine tails out across the grey fabric and squirming, the softness hitting him like nothing he had ever experienced. "Well, I hope it's comfortable for a bird! It would be a shame if you couldn't sleep after betraying your entire tribe."
"Shut up, fox," Caspian grumbled, settling onto his own mattress next to Hana's. He sighed, the constant tension in his back finally easing as the foam adjusted to his heavy frame.
Hana sat on the edge of her bed, feeling the support make her realize just how much her back had been aching. She looked around the den. Between the silver crates of tech, the dark solar panels, and these clean grey beds, the cave looked like a strange glitch in time. Half-primitive, half-futuristic.
"Don't get too comfortable yet," Hana warned, though she couldn't help but lean back herself. "Tomorrow, we start the real work. I'm putting the solar arrays on the ridge. I want light in here by tomorrow night."
