Alric Kuhn
Handsome K'lor'slug
He lay awake.
He always did, every morning. There was something about him that always made him wake up first. Maybe it was just his biological clock, maybe it was the odd sounds that the space station sometimes made. A creak of a wall here, an odd cable shifting in the wall as gravity took effect, it didn't really matter. Though as far as he remembered back, he had always woken up first when it came to the two of them, even back in that cave.
Alric was never upset about waking up earlier than her, not really anyway.
He joked a few times that she had woken him up through a kick or a bit of slobber on his chest. Once or twice he had accused her of stealing all the blankets, leaving him in a hypothermic cold. Her fondness for Tatooines warmth, that was what he had said.
Truthfully though, he liked waking up before her.
There was a sweetness to it.
It gave him time, time to think, to reflect, time to watch her sleep. Sometimes she gave little snores, sometimes she mumbled small phrases of drawled basics, and other times she simply just lay there.
It was a joy for him, this time, every single day.
