Aurion’s legs and arms twitched while he made slight growling sounds and gnashed his teeth once in a while throughout the morning as he slept. He woke up slightly from time to time as he heard, or thought he heard, someone walk by the door. When he woke, he’d go completely still and silent as he focused all his attention on the door. Even his breathing would halt for a moment so that the sound wouldn’t interfere with his hearing. It was something he had learned living in places he wasn’t supposed to be and where it was likely people would try to hurt him if they could catch him unaware.
He woke up maybe a handful of hours after falling asleep on Lydia’s floor. That wasn’t so unusual for him, he didn’t often sleep a whole day in one place, sometimes he would move two or three times, if he could do it without being seen. Aurion wasn’t sure what the time was but he figured it was probably late morning or early afternoon.
Aurion was a bit miffed at himself once he had woken up fully. Once again his stomach was punishing him for eating so much before he had gone to sleep. It wasn’t nearly as loud or insistent, but he was hungry again. He looked down and put a hand on his abdomen, ‘Shut. Up.’ He thought, ‘Greedy pig.’ Thinking to before he slept, ‘Lydia,’ He thought to himself as he tried to see if she was still in her bed or not while still trying to stay low, ‘She said it was safe here…and…food. Free food.’
He took another look in her direction, and again failed to discern if she was still there or not, before he went to the door to go out. It took him longer to open the door than it would have taken a one armed man with only two fingers. He tried to slide out of the room as quietly as he could, just in case, but as he pulled his tail through quickly, so it wouldn’t get shut in the door, he lost his hold on. He hunched his shoulders and tucked his body tight while shutting his eyes just as the door closed. The bang didn’t seem that loud to him, but he didn’t know what constituted as loud in the Sanctuary.
