116 The Knife

When morning came, Oyuna's demeanor was bright and cheerful as she came back to the tent to help the Moon Goddess get ready for the day. What she found in contrast was a morose Tuzi, who was already awake, and laying somberly in her pile of blankets. 

With the covers pulled all the way up covering her nose, only her hazel eyes could be seen. And yet, Oyuna could tell from her orbs that the lady was bleak, as she was silently gazing up at the ceiling of the yurt. She wondered what was wrong.

"My Godd– Uh… Tuzi, wakey wakey! Time to get up," the wolf girl said playfully to her, while pulling back some of the blankets. 

The rabbit shifter was slow to respond. She looked groggy, as she tried to bury herself further into the covers. The woman even tried to close her eyes again, to pretend she was asleep!

Oyuna drew her lips into a line while she shook her head in disapproval.
