Angela watched her without a word. After she left, curiosity got her to go over and look at the picture then pick it up. Lightly she trailed a finger over the wings of the dove in the drawing. She blinked then held the drawing close, closing her eyes. It was a more common type than her white dove, but it was still the familiar shape. After a few minutes, she sat near the food and looked at it again then cautiously picked up one and looked at it then the picture before eating a little.

Star shivered again when he mentioned her. She closed her eyes, waiting while he untangled her legs. She wouldn't shift with that thing on her, it had frightened her and hurt her, so she didn't trust it, even with it off. and she couldn't speak human in this form.
Zypher awoke sometime later. He slowly opened his eyes and looked around. How did he get to bed? That's when the warmth next to him and Anna's sweet scent registered. He looked down at her repose. Ah, so this was Anna, unguarded. She looked so peaceful with her head resting on his chest. He went to touch her face was his other hand and realized what a bad idea that was. That's when it all came flooding back to him, in a flash. He whispered "Thank you, Anna. For taking care of me." He snuggle into her, just a little deeper. He was enjoying her weight half draped over him. He sighed softly and smiled.
