Bristle yawned and looked around. It felt like morning. Which meant that he needed food, Ark needed food, and Rylarth needed food. Bristle threw on some clothes, pretty much literally and got out food for all of them and sat on his bed. Mostly apples and some other snackish food for him. The dog and dragon food were in bowls on either side of him. Bristle wondered what they would go through today. Maybe learn some more crazy mind things. That'd be fun. Ark woke up at the sound of his food arriving in his bowl and eagerly gulped it down next to Bristle, occasionally throwing glances at his master. Bristle absentmindedly rubbed Ark's back with one hand. Life was going pretty good right now. A lot better than it had been. Well except for the whole blood contract thing. Eh, could be worse.
