Interlude: What Aerael got up to on his summer holidays. A little gapfill.
"Fen, relax, s'just Aerael," Stone said, still looking sleep dazed. He rubbed his eyes, yawned and started to stretch. It took a while, and Aerael was reminded of a documentary he'd seen on the movement of tectonic plates. It had that feel to it- gradual, inevitable building up and release of tension as Stone stretched every muscle in turn. It took so long that at the end Stone seemed to have forgotten what he was stretching for, and started to snuggle back into the blankets and go to sleep.
( 'Stone!' Aerael snapped... )
