We now return to Kat's perspective
-----------------------------------
Kat hugged Lily close to her. At some point they'd shifted so that Lily was practically laying on Kat with her wings around them both and tail wrapped around Lily's waist. Her left arm partially pinned but hugging Lily the best it could, while her right casually stroked Lily's side. The pair were happily dozing, not slipping into sleep, just letting the moment wash over them in full.
Kat was surprised by the warmth. She'd felt happy spending with Lily before… but it was lacking such an intense feeling of contentment that she wasn't sure could be matched. Lily was warm somehow. The temperature of the human body shouldn't be enough for Kat to notice, but she did. Perhaps it was part of the weird fire that had covered them, perhaps not, but it was warm and ever so comfortable. She had no desire to move.
