Looking to love for a very, very long time....

{{Kennel number:}} P114
{{Name:}} Faynia {Russian for "free one," meaning she's very carefree.}
{{Nickname:}} Fay
{{Gender:}} Female
{{Birthday:}} August 21st
{{Age:}} She's 3 human years. <3
{{Breed:}} Wolf x Leopard
{{Why do you want this animal and what will you do for it?:}} I'd add this little girl to my character site My favorite designs are animal print, and I adore any type of leopard print. My entire room is leopard print too. xD I love the natural colors, they make her a perfect character for any type of roleplay. The design seems easy enough for me to color pictures of her with {once my tablet chooses to work again} I especially love the two different color ears for some reason. I'd order a truckload of art of her because I've recently paid for whitelist art. =D I'm completely shocked she wasn't adopted already, she's really a gorgeous character, colored in a cute lineart. I read that with her you can add accessories or edits. I'd add a modest feather necklace, probably striped. ^^ I'd never dare to touch the design, it's absolutely perfect the way it is. You can't really see her eyes, and the left would be a light brown, the right a shade of amber. Also, I'm thinking about {if I win} making Tigu her mate, but I'm still unsure. In this memory of hers, they're best friends.
{{Personality:}}

>Impatient.<
Fay can be very impatient when waiting for something exciting. Not horrible, just excited. ^^

>Forgiving<
Fayina doesn't hold grudges very long. A day or two usually is the most amount of time, then tells the one who hurt her, "I forgive you."

>Flirty<
She is only a little flirty. Not the type to flirt with every male wolf she sees, just ones she really likes. <3

>Realisitc<
Although she tries for a brighter perspective on everything, she always weighs options on what could possibly happen.

>Charismatic<
One of her best qualities, able to convince others, usually for the better of their heath. C:

>Sweet<
Caring, loving, sweet, all those are a few more traits she possesses.

>Fearful<
Fayina is afraid of a lot of things, and gets spooked easily.

>Smart<
Fay is actually extremely intelligent. She may not be strong, but she is smart.


Likes: Feeling loved, nice, cooler temperatures, being around loved ones, seeing others happy, sleeping, trees, exploring new areas.

Neutral Feelings: She really has only neutral feelings for humans, especially after what they did to her. Not hate, not love, neutral. Fay doesn't want to put a label on all humans because of what a few evil ones do.

Dislikes: Being hated, seeing others in pain, blood, war, hatred. She really doesn't hate much.

History/Background:

Yes, I remember that very night like it was yesterday..

I glanced at my silver, steel cage bars. Just as I did that, lightning illuminated the sky. Thunder soon growled it's deep tone of anger, then everything remained silent. I was captured by an animal trader, put in a cage, and on a ship. There may still be a chance for a better day. Each cage was some sort of unbreakable glass on the sides, then armored with steel bars in the front. I noticed recently that between each cage was about a fox tail's length between each. I had no idea why, and for some reason, didn't want to think about it too much. I paced back and forth, completely unsure of what to do. I noticed my ever empty food dish lying in the corner, and was surprised that there weren't any cobwebs on it.

I felt the ship take a sudden swerve. I lost control of my movements, then slid to the right corner of my cage, winding myself. I panted, gasping for air. I muttered, "What just happened?" Another crack of lightning jolted across the sky, well, the part I could see. I anticipated the thunder, which of course followed it's 'friend' lightning. All I knew was that the boat would dock, I'd be on land, and hopefully, my whereabouts would be more positive.

The ship took a sharp turn again, sliding me even faster into the glass. A male wolf with an odd design of tiger print, orange at the head to flank, which faded into white. He asked, "You alright?" But by the time that thought went through my head, everything turned black, and I collapsed.

I awoke with a groggy feeling. How long was I unconscious? The same wolf that asked if I was okay stretched his neck outside his cage bars. "You passed out for a while now. The storm's way over so you've got nothing to worry about now." A smile made a way on his face, and I knew he was relieved it was over too. "Thanks for asking, I feel so dizzy right now. I'm sure I'll feel better too."
He shrugged, "It was nothin'. It seemed like you were winded from the hit. Oh, by the way, I'm Tigu. Nice to meet'cha."
I replied, hesitantly, my mind still slow from passing out. "I'm Fayina, call me Fay, thanks for being so concerned, it means a lot."

Tigu and I talked a lot throughout the trip, and we had quickly became good friends. I was just dreading the day one of use would be sold, separating us. Stop after stop went by and I'd seen many men, women, and children come in his ship, buying a few of the others for shining, golden coins. At very rare occasions, animals were exchanged in some sort of trade. I remember one particular female African Wild Dog/Wolf Mix, her name was Kaiser. She tossed, turned, and shook, everything to get out of that chain leash holding her captive. She tried to resist being put in a cage, and for some odd reason, I could tell she was afraid something horrible would happen to her. One man took a long stick that shot out a dart of some sort. Kaiser winced when it hit her and I thought it killed her. It thankfully didn't. Glancing at Tigu, he seemed interested as to what was going to happen but I couldn't blame him. Kaiser kept trashing after being shot, but gradually over time she seemed to slow down. Then she collapsed.

The tired and sweaty human who held her chain dropped it, then wiped his forehead with relief. After pausing for a little break, he flung the chain over his shoulder, and dragged her into a cage similar to mine and Tigu's except it had a steak in the middle. He man wrapped the chain around it, walked out, the closed the door which made a horrible screeching sound that hurt my ears. I watched the rise and fall of Kasier's flank, and I knew she was asleep, and thankfully not dead. I turned to my left, seeing Tigu intently watching her as well, then I asked, "Where do they take us?" then I realized I wasn't specific enough, "Like when they took some others off the ship, away?" Tigu only shrugged, "I've got no clue, sorry, Fay. I'd love to know though."

As time went by, I noticed Kasier started waking up, and soon got up to her paws with a groggy snarl. She hissed, "Those evil humans," then angrily paced around her cage. Little did I know then was that we'd become great friends.

I awoke with some sunlight shining through a porthole, landing right on my face. I shut my eyes, hoping to stop the rays from intruding into my vision. Letting out a yawn, I stood up on my paws, glanced at Tigu, who was fast asleep. I honestly think he could sleep through anything and everything. I turned to my right, seeing Kaiser lying awake but with half closed eyes. I said to her, "It's nice out today, don't you think?" She nodded then said, "Yeah, it's alright."

The ship came to a sudden stop and I heard footsteps pounding on the steps that lead to our cages. It was the animal trader! He grumbled, carrying something. I squinted, hoping to see what It was, then I felt my tail wagging, almost like a puppy. He brought us food! Going from cage to cage, he through hunks of meat through the bars. Awaiting my food, I eagerly hoped for it soon. However, I could swear that he took longer on purpose, but who knows. He eventually came, and I scoffed down the meat in a matter of short minutes. Why couldn't we be fed like this all the time?

I realized I took that lovely weather for granted. The sky grew darker and darker, soon allowing the clouds to release rain, which, because of the wind, flew right into the porthole. It was cool and refreshing as it hit my face, and I actually didn't mind it. Lightning and thunder raged in the sky, louder and brighter than that storm the other night. Waves rocked the ship, making it turn left and right, left and right. I and a few others {those who were fairly light} slid each time into the sides of our cages. The temperature itself felt more humid than usual, making me pant. I kept looking through that same porthole for no reason, until I saw a wave. Very large. Very powerful. I yelped, "Tigu, Kai! There's a huge wave coming, what should I do??"
Kaiser replied with a snort, "Nothing, you can't stop a wave.." Tigu responded more positively replying, "Where?? Is it-," he saw the wave, then stopped his sentence as it hit. The boat flew backwards, and I heard an unpleasant crack.
"Did anyone else hear that," I paused, looking to find it, "I'm pretty sure I heard the boat make a cracking sound.
Both Tigu and Kasier shrugged, having no clue.

I kept looking around. Where did that crack come from? I always had that though in my mind, no matter what I was doing. I did take notice of the thin lining of water on the floor, and then, before I knew it, the thought struck me.
The ship is filling with water from that crack I heard! I kept pacing, looking for some way to get out, some way to get Kai and Tigu out. Problem with Kaiser is that she was chained, and in a cage. I didn't want to tell them of what I realized, in fear they'd be frightened and make the mood of the lower level more tense. I should tell them though, I thought, unsure of what to do. In the end, I convinced myself I should. A sat in the center of my cage, then said, "Do you two remember that crack?" Both of my friends nodded in reply, then I continued, "I think it put a hole in the ship, that's why this water's here." I glanced meaningfully at the ground, already filling more and more with water. By now, it was above my paws. Tigu let out a gasp, then I realized he didn't even think about it. "So that's why!" he exclaimed. Kaiser had a slight look of fear in her eyes, then asked, "So eventually, this place will be underwater. We need to get out, now, while there's air."

I started to panic as the water climbed higher above my paws, going up my legs. "We need to think of a way out." I was extremely concerned with Kaiser, she had a chain and cage to worry about. The ship stopped in motion, and I hoped for the man to come down. Thankfully, his heavy footsteps echoed on the steps, and he came into view. He took one step on the wet, water covered floor, then gasped, "Oh my.." He raced back up, took his keys, and quickly unlocked each cage. I for some odd reason wanted to attack him, but didn't, in fear of him leaving me underwater. He raced up the steps, then slammed the door shut. Kasier snapped, "The fleabag didn't unhook me from this chain!" She trashed and twisted, trying to get out. Meanwhile, I took my first steps out of the cage in months, then Tigu and I met. "I feel so free!" the tiger colored wolf barked happily. Kaiser growled, "Shut up." Obviously upset she wasn't. I padded over to her, sniffed her chain, then looked at the wooden base. "Tigu, come over here for a second." He came, then I said, "I bet if we chew this wooden thing, the chain will slide loose." Kasier thought about it, then nodded, "Sounds fair."

Tigu and I kept biting the wooden steak. It was fairly thick, and very tiring. Water filled up to the tips of our legs, and most of the other animals by now busted through the door and hid on the top deck. We were the only three left. Tigu and I actually had to gasp for air, then stick our heads underwater to get to that wood. It was almost breakable, and Kaiser kept swimming, pulling the chain. It finally snapped, but the water was so high that we needed to dog paddle our way to the steps. Kai and Tigu got to the steps, Kaiser going first, then my old tiger striped friend. Tigu waited in the middle of them, I glanced back at the cages which were now underwater. Then, I raced up the stairs.

I couldn't remember the last time I was upstairs. The fresh air actually made it hard for me to breathe, it took many minutes before I got used to it. I saw the full magnitude of the storm, lightning flashing, thunder rolling, waves rising. One hit the boat as I thought of it, turning it to the right. I couldn't find the human, or for some odd reason any of the other animals. I was knocked off my paws and I skidded across the deck. I would have flown off the edge if it weren't elevated at the sides. I didn't see Tigu and Kasier, until I arose to my paws. That really hurt. I huffed until I eventually caught my breath. Tigu sniffed my flank, then asked, "You okay?" When he said those words I instantly remembered the time when I smashed into the side of my cage. I shook my head, clearing the thought, then replied, "Yeah, just a little winded." Kaiser retorted, "Hate to be rude, but we need a way off this thing." I nodded, realizing we could meet our deaths today.

The rain poured town harder and harder, and the three of us were soaked with cold water. Even though it was warm out, well, humid, not warm, I was freezing because of the water. I was also shaking with a mixture of fear and shivering. Kai, Tigu, and I agreed to split and look for something to leave the boat on. Not one of us found anything. The ship got pushed again, this time to the left, and Kaiser was flung off of it with a yelp. Tigu raced to the side of the ship, looking down at her struggling to keep her head afloat in the waves. I glanced around quickly, searching for wood or some material that could float. I quickly spotted a broken pole, around six feet long. I barked to Tigu, "Help me with this!" He raced to my side, grabbed the other end, then I said to him through teeth that held the pole, "We're going in. 'Zis is to keep uz afloat." He nodded, his entire expression full of fear. We stood together on the edge of the ship, he glanced at me, then on cue we both jumped in. Kaiser was really struggling to keep her muzzle above the waves, and Tigu and I lost side of her multiple times until we found her. I had to pull her up by the scruff onto it, she was horribly weak and exhausted. I sighed, then asked, "Tigu, do you see anything bigger for us to float on?" After the many volleys of powerful waves the ship was breaking into pieces. Large chunks of wood floated in the salty water, and I hoped Tigu could spot one. He quickly did to my relief, the said, "I think there's a curved piece from the bottom, we may be able to sit in it." He pointed his muzzle in it's general direction and I quickly spotted it. "Perfect." I said, then stating again, "One of us needs to stay with Kai in case she slips off. Do you think one of us could handle it?" Tigu confidently nodded, then volunteered immediately to get it. I clearly made him promise not to try if the waves got worse. He seemed reluctant, but agreed.

My tiger striped friend retrieved it after almost half an hour of struggling. The two of us tried hoisting Kaiser into it, but we needed her imput in that. I prodded her with my muzzle, saying softly, "Kaiser, wake up, please. We need you to help us get you onto this." She groaned, then used her claws, almost like a feline, to push herself up, of course with our support. I was happy she made it on, and offered to let Tigu on, but being the respectful creature he was, he pleaded I go first. I gave in, then laid next to Kaiser, almost drifting into sleep in seconds. Tigu clawed his way up, then snuggled next to me, falling asleep soon. I glanced at Kaiser who was asleep, then for some reason I had the negative thought it'd be better to die asleep then drown awake, so I curled up, put my wet tail over my muzzle, then drifted into a slumber of my own.

"Fay!" Tigu said with a very detectable tone of excitement in his voice, "Look! The storm stopped!" I glanced up at the sky, which was bluer than I've ever seen it, with the sun beating down brightly onto my now completely dry fur. I grinned, especially thrilled Kaiser was awake and sitting up. "How long have you been up?" Kaiser replied, obviously tired, "A bit now, watched the sun rise, then Tigu jolted awake." I looked at the bottom our little "raft" which had a dry floor. The sun must have been intense, plus it was fairly warm at that time. The water was a light color, not the dark, ominous liquid that appeared at the time of the storm. "I've never seen water like this before," Kaiser said with curiosity, then said quickly, "Hey, I see some little fish over here too." I peered over the side of the raft, seeing little streamlined, silver shapes swimming around. She said snarkily, "I bet since you two are part cat one of you can get it. We need to eat something or we'll die slowly of hunger or thirst." Tigu volunteered, paused, then intently watched it swim around. His muscles tightened, his ears slicked back, and his tail was laid flat. Then, he sprang into the water, scaring the fish. It went in my general direction so I leaped in, pinning it to the bottom with my paw {The water wasn't that deep.} as I quickly killed it. I surprised myself, even I was shocked! Kaiser was utterly impressed, Tigu seemed a little disappointed he missed it. As we shared our meal, I chuckled, "I'm pretty sure I'll never be able to do that again." Kaiser remarked, "Well you better, I'm much better hunting on land." Tigu nodded, agreeing with Kaiser.

Night came, making the temperature drop a considerable amount of degrees, so we huddled in a tight furry ball. Just like last night, I fell asleep quickly, with dreams of being on land, land with trees, food, and clean drinking water. I was actually pretty upset when I woke up. Tigu yawned, then said, "Mornin' Fay, our hunter." He smiled at the end of his statement, Kaiser nodded, "Yep, good morning." We floated more and more, then I noticed something important. I could see more detail like rock, fish, seaweed, and coral. The water did seem more shallow. Then Tigu yelled something that made my heart leap, "Hey, is that land over there?"

Drawing: I'd draw more of it if I win her, or if I just feel the need to bulk up on anything. :3 I was going to draw her, Tigu, and Kaiser, but thought if I loose, and want to give the fanart to the winner, it wouldn't do. So here's her when she caught the fish, blushing because she's surprised and a bit embarrassed with all the attention on her. If I won her, this would be my avatar {I'd have to resize it a bit though.} Better art would be ordered from much more talented artists. I'd order a group of her, Tigu, and Kaiser. <3

[Electriic]

Would it be ok if we went for 3 common creatures instead of 2 common creatures + 1 freak of nature?

That would be cool, but probably not D:

[neonfrozen]

Would it be ok if we went for 3 common creatures instead of 2 common creatures + 1 freak of nature?

That would be cool, but probably not D:

Maybe, because Tiikera said no to 2 freaks instead of 2 commons because there were more commons, so maybe 3 commons would work?

[Africa.]

Wow, happy 1 year <3

But I think I'm gonna sit out on the special again x3 I'm just gonna stick to P114 and thats good enough for me xD

Koowie: I doubt Tiki will let you... But hey, you never know x3

[Lirrie]

I very much doubt you can >.> Im not tiki though so I cant tell you yes or no.

[Tiikeria]

Unless it's 2 commons and 1 freak, my answer is going to be no. We may have a lot of commons, but not enough for everyone to get 3. So, my answer is no. :3 *Poofs back into her corner of the working universe*

[Cerestes]

I am looking to adopt...
Picture:

Kennel number: Kennel P112

Name: Richter Shaark

Breed: Anthro Lion

Why do you want this animal and what will you do for it?: Short Stories / Novel or Webcomic / Art. Lots of art. X3 By me and other artists; I also use my characters for things like fursuits and plushies that I make!
I like to keep most of my characters in pairs, and I think Richter would be the perfect mate for my cat anthro, Lillith. I also want to own characters other than my wolves. X3 Richter would be my secondary male character... I wouldn't say fursona is quite the right word. I try to keep my main character numbers down and he would be my 5th main character. I also think that he would make a great best friend for my fiance's character D4N! Bromance anyone? LOL.

Personality:
Dark Humor - Living in a postapocalyptic world, you have to have a good and light sense of humor to stay sane.
Metalhead - D4N and Richter often play music together.
Tough - He had to learn to take care of himself and his brother at a young age, and when you are fighting demons, this can be a task.
Sometimes Offending - Sometimes he speaks before he thinks.
Loves to joke but has a solemn side - During the day Richter is fine, but at night, he thinks about the people closest to him that have died.
Richter is smart, but quiet. Before meeting his friends, he was a loner.
He also holds a grudge against humans. While he is not hostile to individuals, they have to work harder to earn his trust.

Likes:
Music - Metal and Rock. He also makes his own music.
Guitars - D4N and Richter got lucky and found a small shop with some guitars still in it.
Black - Good for night and just all around a great color!
Sunsets - He loves when the sky looks like it is on fire.
Night - Good for stealth and demon hunting.
Drinking - Partying with his friends in their free world.
His Crew - Richter's friends mean more than anything to him; they are like a small family, needing each others' protection in their chaotic world.
Lillith Cat - Lillith is his girl. He loves her more than anything.
Fires - The crew often spend their nights around a bonfire, just glad to be alive and enjoying each others' company.
Smashing Things - D4N the demon has discovered a love of golf, and Richter finds a love of smashing things with golf clubs.
Glass - Good for shattering with golf clubs on those boring nights.
Destruction - Since the world is a mess anyways, destroying something now and then is just good fun.
Fighting - Richter often spars with his demon friends as the girls cheer them on. The demons are not allowed to cheat and use their special abilities.
Hand to Hand Combat - The boys fight UFC style.
Weapons - Richter likes collecting junk and making his crew hand made weapons, like war axes and modified guns, when they can find them.
Exploring - The city is a big place and it is mostly empty of people.
Building and Fixing Things - Richter is gifted with schematics and even helped restore power to some of the inhabited grid in the city.
Taking Things Apart - To learn how to make and fix things, Richter can often be seen dissecting some kind of machinery.
Making Schematics and Maps - Richter often consults Donut's help with making his sketches clearer and more legible for others.

Dislikes:
Idiots - Some people are too interested in themselves and consider themselves raiders. Richter does -not- like raiders.
Pop Music - Not played much, but when he hears it, he hates it.
Sugar - Poor Richter is constantly being offered sweets by Donut.
Sweet Tea XD - Just 'cause. (It adds a bit of my fiance into the character lol)
Demons - You can't let your guard down without a demon trying to consume you. Unless he happens to be soulbound to your best friend.
Water - Most of the water contains acid anyways.
Humans - Humans killed his brother, and he still feels a hatred towards the race overall, though he doesn't hold it against indivduals.
Guns - He modifies them for his protection, but guns in general disgust Richter.
Closed Spaces - In the city, finding yourself in a closed space with a demon or raider could mean death.
Bright Light - He is feline, so it gives him a disadvantage.

History/Background:
Here is the outline for the setting of the world that Richter lives in:
http://d0nu7.deviantart.com/gallery/25249395#/d3dvrgw
Richter lives in a postapocalyptic world. He is the distant offspring of lab experiments which have escaped their prison. Richter started off life with just a mother, who later died of illness and infection. His father is unknown/ out of the picture. He was a bad man so Richter's mother never mentioned him much. As a young adult, he raised his younger brother, who was killed at the age of 16 by a group of rival humans. Richter exacts his revenge but sees no reason to stick around. Alone, Richter struck out on his own until he meets Donut and her crew. He is introduced to Lillith Cat and they hit it off immediately. Richter is good friends with Donut's mate D4N, along with others. They share a love of metal and music. They can often be found around the fire with their guitars, singing for their friends. When demons attack and decimate the humanoid populations, Richter helps the crew defeat them.
EDIT: OH YEAH!! I HAVE A MATE FOR HIM! 8D

Other: He would definitely stay in his anthro form; I consider myself to be an anthro artist. X3 It may also be worth mentioning that he would totally earn himself a slot in my character thread. viewtopic.php?f=10&t=221605 Also, I know my character form may seem small atm, by my characters tend to make themselves known to me as I draw them/ real life experiences sometimes influence them. Dani and Donut and Dan are older characters of mine that now have a set personality with many of their own individual traits.

Story
Richter sat at the fire with his friends, his arms around Lillith. The others carried on and had a good time while he sat there, quiet and unnoticed. Lillith paused from the festivity and turned her head to cast a worried look down on the lion whose lap she sat in. "Richter, are you ok?" She asked, concern filling her eyes and voice. He glanced up at her and forced a smile.

"Yeah, I'm ok," he said, giving her a tight squeeze as if to prove his point. She did not buy it. Without a word, she lifted his arm from her shoulders and stood up, placing it in his lap. She turned to Donut, Dan, and the others and announced,"Well, we did good today. But it has been long and exhausting and Richter and I are ready to retire." Donut smiled at the two and then looked at Richter as if seeing him for the first time that night.

The look on her face was one of compassion, and she said to the two,"You are right! We should get to bed, too. Good night Lillith... Richter." She nodded her head to each.

"Thanks, guys," Richter said quietly. Somewhat glad for the save, he let Lillith pull him to his feet and the two set off, arms around each other. Lillith waited until they were away from earshot of the others and the soft glow of the fire before speaking.

"Are you really ok?" She asked, knowing what was on his mind.

"I told you, I will be fine," he replied softly. He waited a couple moments before continuing. By now, they had made their way to the old tattered blanket that covered the doorway to the small storehouse they improvised as a home. Richter stopped to hold the blanket aside as Lillith stepped into the small square room. He let the blanket fall with a whoosh and followed her over to the pile of pillows that served as their mattress. He sat down and slumped over, his arms propped carelessly on his knees, head hung low.

He was still for just a couple moments before he let out one heaving gasp of air. Lillith wrapped her arms around him, used to his breakdowns but understanding all the same. She did not need to say a word as she rested her chin atop his head. Richter leaned into her chest and cried. In front of the others, he could maintain his cool, and only she ever saw these moments of weakness from the big, strong lion. It had taken her much effort and patience for her to gain this trust from him.

After a couple minutes, Richter calmed and stilled. He gave a small, shaky half laugh despite his wet cheeks and hurt heart. "I guess I should be happy about today, huh? We won another battle," he said. Lillith just nodded and let him continue. "But sometimes I feel like it is all for nothing. We know things will never be the same." She knew he meant this in more than one way. Again, he was quiet. Lillith had never lost anyone close to her (she was too young to remember her parents when they died) but she knew the pain from losing his mother and brother was hard on Richter. He had her and the gang, but they were his roots, and without them, he just drifted along in this broken world.

Lillith ran her hand through his thick main, stroked up and down his back in loving, caressing motions. Richter pushed her down onto the mattress and curled up beside her, almost childlike, into a fetal position. He placed one muscular arm around her and held onto her tightly. The two stayed like that until he fell asleep, Lillith rubbing and rubbing his back. Gently, she lifted his arm and worked her way from his grip. She hugged her arms around herself and stepped back out into the dark alley. She looked up at the sky, at the millions of stars that shown down through the rare clear night. She turned her head to the left, where she could still see the glow from the trash can's fire and hear her friend's voices. The only one she could see was Donut. As if sensing her gaze, Donut turned her head and looked down the ally way.

Her and Lillith made eye contact and Donut gave her a small, sad smile. She nodded her head once. Lillith smiled back at Donut, thankful for her friend's support and understanding. She turned to enter her room once again, and this time, she crawled into the pile of pillows and curled up beside Richter. She was fast asleep, an arm entwined in his thick mane, within minutes.
