Deer surrounded me. Forest Deer.

Solidly, my Iphea was at my back, curled protectively close.
Mi, my developmental doe, was in front of my lower-legs, warming my feet.
Unduetu was curled in the crook of my legs.
The Setless was wary, but he lay close, forehead nearly touching mine if it were not for his antlers.

Sadly, there was room for one more. Only he was not in my bed last night, but in his own, in his room, and my characters knew that. They kept me company all night so that I did not think of my bed as being big and lonely without my Fiance. I have slept in his bed for the past near-week because I have been having trouble sleeping.

I guess sometimes your characters can comfort you in odd ways. Maybe it was my half-conscious state, a dream in there, but it was so worth it.
