ELIA
"Time to wake up, love."
Elia startled out of sleep and sucked in, blinking. But she couldn't see anything. It was still pitch black in the cave. "What time is it?"
"Early. Get up. Quickly. Put your leathers on. We need to stretch."
"Wha—oh, right." She smiled grimly and pushed the warm furs back, shivering when the chill night hair hit her skin. Reth growled approvingly, but she shook her head, assuming he could see it. "Nope. Training time, mister discipline."
Reth muttered something about discipline being thoroughly enjoyable and she laughed, but she had to literally feel her way to the closet to find her thickest leathers. She was dressed in seconds and turned to find her way blocked by a massive, warm wall of man.
"Reth! I almost stood on you."
"I need my leathers too. Unless of course you want me to go naked?"
"Don't tempt me," she growled and he chuckled.
