This way. That way. Every which way I turned, I felt the lumpy cave floor poking into me through the bedroll. This was impossible.
Groaning, I turned on my back and looked up at the damp, moldy cave ceiling. The delicious scent of dinner had faded a while ago, and I was left with nothing but mildew and dense earth in my nostrils.
I was grateful for the shelter of the cave, but how was I supposed to sleep like this?
My back started aching and I sat up, rubbing my back as best I could. I gave it one last try, resting my shoulder and head on the wall of the cave.
The rough, coarse rock rubbed against my skin. It was cold and a shudder ran through me.
I pulled away from the wall and rubbed my sore shoulder. Where was Rion? I saw him talking to Eva earlier, but she was on the opposite side of the cave now.
I’d figured Rion would join me after and thought it would be nice to have a warm, comfortable person to rest against.
