Arron walked over & handed Talbot a bundle of clothes. "It-It's better th-than what you are wearing..." he said quietly.

"Ah.. thank you very much." Talbot bowed his head, then slid out of the covers again and walked over to the curtain to change into what he'd been given. He hoped they would fit decently, taking into account Arron's height and just general size difference. Once he was changed, he wandered back over to the pallet.

The clothes he had been given appeared to be much older, & smaller, so they would fit well. Arron had pulled up a chair & was playing with some wire.

"Are... you not going to sleep?" the slave asked as he got comfortable by Atticus once more. He'd hate for Arron to not get any sleep , as he doubted he'd gotten any decent sleep since they'd first met.

"Ah... not yet..." he said quietly. He was focused on the wire, bending it into shape. A few seconds later it was wrapped as a ring.

"Oh wow. You can make jewellery?" the slave sat up when he saw the finished product of Arron's work. He was impressed by his multi-talented friend, and wondered what other amazing things the young man could do.

The young man blushed lightly. "I l-learned it as-as a form of th-therapy. It-It's not much different th-than f-fixing things..." he said standing up. Arron yawned.

"You have so many skills, it's incredible. If I had half the talent that you have, I'd likely be in a much better situation than I'm in now, that's for certain." the slave nodded. He spoke softly so as not to wake up his snoozing lion friend, but it appeared that Atticus wasn't going to wake up so easily. Talbot shifted himself so that he was comfortable under the blanket again, and he stared up at the ceiling.
"You're truly an admirable person, Arron."

"Nah... I-I'm a-a jack of all tr-trades... m-master of none..." he said scratching the side of his cheek, "G-Goodnight T-Talbot... th-there's more f-food & dr-drinks in the fridge if wake up-up..." Arron started climbing the ladder to the loft.

"Ah, goodnight. I hope you sleep well." Talbot called after Arron as he watched him make his way up the ladder. The young slave pulled the blanket over him closer to his chest and tightly shut his eyes to attempt sleep. He felt safe with both Atticus and Arron close by, so it took no time at all for him to sink into dreams as night covered the land.

Arron stayed awake before falling asleep. Soon morning came & light filled the cramped workshop. Arron was still asleep however, snoring echoing down from the loft.

The slave mumbled softly in his sleep, as he often did, talking about all manner of things he dreamt of. Once the light of the sun hit him, he grumbled and slowly opened his eyes. He yawned and stretched, feeling refreshed from a peaceful sleep, then turned and put a hand on Atticus's fluffy belly.
"Good morning, Atticus." he said cheerfully.The lion growled, then rolled onto his other side and placed one paw over his eyes and the other over both ears. He was not ready or willing to wake up.Talbot chuckled, and ruffled Atticus's mane a little before standing and heading to the fridge to start breakfast. It wasn't long before there was a nice smell wafting through the small workshop.

The mechanic mumbled, smelling the food. "Love... c-could you put on the coffee..?" he called down, not realizing he was not talking to his betrothed. Arron's head hit the pillow again with a small groan.

"Ah, coffee? Certainly." the slave said upon hearing Arron, and went about starting a fresh pot. It took him a moment, but he eventually realized what Arron had called him, and his face turned bright red.
"...Love.....?" he squeaked.Atticus sat up and gave Arron a look that said "Are you serious?" quickly followed by one that said "You better take care of him when you get married, or I'll maul you to death, because I am a lion".

It took Arron a few minutes to figure out that the voice that responded was male. His head instant;y shot up & stared at Talbot. "Oh st-Stars... I-I'm SO SO sorry!" I-I wasn't th-thinking..." he stammered burying his face into his pillow.
