As Keep Looking can confirm, I took care of my official prompt quite... promtptly, and decided that if I got ideas for any of the other prompts, I'd write them down. Of the two ideas I ended up needing to get out of my system in advance to be able to focus on a longer fic idea I'm trying to get off the ground, one of them fit nicely with today's prompt:
The warmest welcome
Onni was woken by a giggle from Tuuri. The first thing he became aware of was that he had not fallen asleep with his right arm under his blanket, as something warm and heavy was now keeping it pinned to the ground right next to his bedroll. He briefly wondered what it could be before remembering he was no longer travelling alone and that his travel companions were extremely dedicated to making sure he didn’t go off on his own a second time. Lalli in particular had been reluctant to leave his side. He was probably the one currently sleeping on his arm. Tuuri’s voice responded to the thought with amusement:
-It isn’t Lalli.
That explained the giggle from earlier. Onni was now reluctant to open his eyes. He couldn’t think of an option that was not going to be embarrassing. However, he quickly realized that how carefully he was planning to get his arm out of under the other person depended on their identity, and looking at who it was would be the only way to know. He opened his eyes. It was the cat. Onni hadn’t paid much attention to her aside from noticing her presence and her new collar. The cat hadn’t seemed to pay much attention to Onni either. Yet, there she was, sleeping on his arm, something she wouldn’t be doing if she didn’t feel safe around him. His plans for getting his arm free hadn’t taken her into account. He didn’t have the heart to disturb her peaceful slumber anyway. He decided to catch a few more minutes of rest.
