Firey red orbs slowly flickered open, still glazed over with sleep, he lifted his head, pink tongue curling as powerful jaws parted in a small yawn.

Blinking, triangular ears twitched off towards the sides of his skull as an unknown howl rang within. He sighed, wanting to bring himself to wake completely, although he was still quite tired.

Remaining curled up in the corner, he lay in total comfort, the warmth of the den almost consuming him to never want to leave, perhaps he would fall back into a light slumber awhile longer before retreating to find Riley as well as greet the newcomer.
