Breakfast Thief
She woke the next morning to see a bright green lizard with a black and white striped tail looking at her intently.
"Are you going to bark at me too?" Shanku asked tiredly.
The little lizard tilted its curly-horned head and darted forward to lick her on the cheek. Shanku recoiled in disgust and fervently wiped her cheek.
"What was that for!?" she demanded. But it was gone. She looked all around her and found him perched on the remains of last night's supper.
"Just go help yourself to my breakfast then," she grumbled grumpily with arms and legs crossed.
The little lizard trilled happily and nibbled on her rabbit. Shanku ignored him and folded her cloak, placed it into her pack, and slipped it on. Cloaks were awkward to wear when she was in her natural form and at best made good blankets at night.

Breakfast Thief
He's a fast little thing.
Okay, page is finally up. Had it ready a while back but forgot to upload it, and wouldn't you know, the server underwent a nasty DDoS attack during these past few days.
I'm sure by now some have noticed you never see Kurach sleep on their back and at most may sleep on their side. Sleeping on wings is not very comfortable, and, like other limbs, are prone to having the circulation cut off if you so much as look at it funny. Ever do that? Wake up one night to find your arm dead asleep and you go to move it to a more comfortable position only to numb-slap yourself in the face? Hilarious to watch, not so funny to do.
