Tav wakes first, long before first light, bright and alert. She and Karlach have twisted themselves half-way out from under the covers in the night to cool down, and as she extracts herself Karlach rousts, sleepily following Tav out of bed by habit. Tav goes to the window, Karlach rubbing her eyes and scratching various morning itches behind her. It is not only dark from the hour, but the blizzard has continued through the night, and the wind and snow still howl and blow. “’s still snowing?” says Karlach, yawning. “Looks like. If it keeps up like this we’ll be thoroughly snowed in.” “Mmm, I don’t mind that” Karlach says, as she stands behind Tav, wrapping her arms around her waist and kissing her neck and shoulder with sleepy affection. Tav affectionately strokes her cheek, “you can go back to bed if you like.” “Nn-nn” Karlach mumbles into Tav’s shoulder “wanna be up with you.” “Alright, I’m going to stretch, then we can get a bath” Tav says, kissing Karlach on the cheek, making Karlach shake herself all over in sleepy, giddy affection.
