"Do you enjoy your sunbath?" I cupped Natha's face from behind the chair he sat on on the balcony. He opened his eyes, looked at me, and smiled; the kind of smile he gave me when he just woke up from his sleep. "Oh, were you asleep?"
"I was awake when you walked in," he said, patting his thigh."You're very cheery."
I giggled and circled the chair to climb into his lap and stroked his forehead, swatting loose hair from his face. It was rare to see Natha had an afternoon nap—no, I didn't think I had ever seen it before. Well, he was usually either working or tending to me, so he didn't have much time for himself to just relax and have an uninterrupted rest.
"You must have liked it here since you won't sense anyone's thought," I stroked his cheek next, and rubbed the soft flesh around his eyes. He looked so refreshed, so well rested.
