Now back at the den and seeing everything seemed to be taken care of for now, Opal slunk to her usual spot. It was where she usually napped. It was a little more private here and out of the way. It gave her the chance to keep an eye on things while at the same time being more or less hidden; It was the most comfortable spot she knew because of these qualities.

She lay down in the makeshift nest that had formed merely from her repeated visits, and she curled up in a ball. She rested her head down, but kept her ears keen just in case she was needed. For now she was going to take the time to rest and get some energy back after the running she did. She was still hungry, though.
