When bone is exposed to air it dries out. Dried bone shatters, and shattered bones splinter at the edges. Splinters are very inconvenient for your eyes, especially when you only have three. Washing the nightmare off her face was nothing new. Another night, another all too vivid dream. Moloi hunting some poor soul down and changing him was still clear in her mind. The sound of splashing water cutting through the visuals of broken bone and tearing flesh. De looked into the silver backed mirror, a hint of pain staring into the hole in her skull from which the third eye protruded. Her wavy black messed with the recklessness of her tossing and turning most nights. Tossing the water out to the night from the hut she took a few steps to follow. The cold night air was only met with the silence of night. The starry night was something to behold for the cat, it had been a good many years since she could so freely watch the celestial bodies form and flicker. Sitting in the grass she still couldn't help but see her eyes in the sky. Those balls of yellow in the night. She almost jumped when her soft build was enveloped by the arms of another. As soon as the touch registered as familiar however she relaxed, leaning into her lover’s embrace. “What are you doing out here all by yourself dearest, did you have another nightmare?” Moloi cooed into the Cat’s ear. “Nothing different from last time, I just came to clear my head. Did I wake you?” “No, no darling, you have nothing to worry over.” Her eyes burned into De from behind as she planted a kiss. Sending a shudder up the taller’s spine. “Okay, let’s go back then, lamb. We need rest if we are to hunt tomorrow.” She held the hands wrapped around her before scooping Moloi and carrying her off to bed. Moloi turned over on their bed, facing the wall, De sat still. As she looked over at the crown that sat on the pillow beside the bed. She gave a polite kiss on the shoulder of the leader before turning over herself. Yellow eyes stared into the empty, having feigned sleep, vacant, and unending.
