About his head swirled their faces, bore the visage of horror and death, intangible even as his paws sought purchase against sodden coat. Ragged had grown his voice, harsh the awakening heralded by the broken sound of a short lived scream.
Time well past had he refrained from attempting to slip once more into the false comfort, the chill breeze of such early hour dragging frost laced fingers through his thin fur. Against it did he huddle, a disgruntled mass fluffed up as best he may, heavy grown his eyelids. Even as they fell shut a last time the passage of another jarred him forth once more, groggy the groan spilling forth from clenched teeth. Silent his observation of Vixenvenom, a face familiar only for hers was a presence of strength and renown. Upon the rise of her voice, and the apparent desire to restock their rather depleted food stores, did Coconutpaw abandon his resting place.
"Aye aye, captain, I'm at your service." Lopsided the grin worn across dark countenance, the exhaustion that weighed upon his bones only slowing the bounce of his weight between paws a small bit.
