I still keep an eye on this thread, I've just not known what to write for the last couple of months. :) Like I've really liked the prompts but not in an "Eureka, I know what to do with them!" sort of way.
EDIT:
And just as I said that, hello October prompt inspiration.
Something for Hehlel, based on a roleplay scene regarding one of her first run-ins with earthly fauna. Also depicted on this picture which I keep promising myself to digitally remaster one day because it's a cute picture.
I blearily realized that I was curled up in a soft bed. My physical condition had not improved – in fact I felt heavy, as if the blankets piled on top of my body had made their way inside of my brain.
I tried to sit up but could not find enough strength in my arms nor wings to do so. My weak call for help was followed by a scratching noise behind the door to the room. It opened reluctantly by an inch, letting a black paw with claws push it’s way through. I could do nothing but stare. After two more pushes the extremity was followed by a furry black head, a palm’s length from the floor and a slender long-tailed body with a single white spot on it’s chest.
I did not recognize the creature, even as it waddled up to me, mewling in a high-pitched tone. The apparition was unperturbed by my startled protests and defensively fluffed up feathers, clambering up to the bed and repeatedly pushing it’s face against my arm. I was unsure of whether it was sentient or not, as I had had no first-hand experiences with animals besides birds and horses. My attempts at communication had evidently failed, so I settled for caressing the creature’s forehead and back with my finger, to which it replied by laying down and baring it’s stomach, encouraging me with loud purring noises.
