His senses fade back in one by one. First comes quiet breaths and the soft shuffling of blankets and pillows. Then there's the texture of his worn-out but well-loved blanket. Finally, he blinks its eyes open, being met with the sight of off white sheets and dark hair.

He takes a deep breath and peels herself off the bed. Resting his weight on their palms she takes a look around. To his left is Spreen and then only a couple inches away from him, Roier. Looking to its right he sees Mariana and Aldo. Mind still bleary, fuzzy memories of the day before start fading in. They had a sleepover yesterday, the so-called 'Mc trio' came over. He stifles a yawn, not wanting to wake anyone else up. Glancing at the window she notices it's still mostly dark out, the sun barely peeking out from the horizon. He woke up early.

Slowly, she starts shuffling off the bed. He winces at the creak the floorboards make when he lands. She looks over her shoulder, checking to see if any of them move. Spreen's breathing seems to falter for a second before reverting back to normal, the rest keep sleeping soundly. Phew!

He decides it's probably a good time to make breakfast. It'd be a nice surprise for them to wake up to! They start walking towards the kitchen. Maybe just something simple, like pancakes or sandwiches or whatever. He doesn't want to almost slice her hand off like last time. He glances down for just a second and grimaces at the pink scar on its forearm.

When ze makes it to the kitchen she starts rummaging around cabinets and drawers picking out random ingredients and setting them on the counter. They need to go out to get food soon, he thinks. He surveys his options, lifting its hand to her chin and looking at the counter. Pancake mix, bread, bacon, and various other ingredients look back at him.

Their ears twitch. A creak from the hallway interrupts her thinking. She looks over to see Spreen, wearing a blanket cape.
