Snippet #2170015

Naeco opened his eyes slowly, before screwing his eyes shut. Dammit, why was it so bright?! Again, he opened his eyes, slowly adjusting to the bright sunny day. It was a great day, definitely one that Mikhail would've been proud of. Clear, blue sky and bright, bright Mother shining down upon them. It was by then he realized...

"...I fell asleep." he murmured to himself. Indeed, he fell asleep last night by the clear blue lake.

Mewls ensued and a ghost of a smile was playing on the edge of Naeco's lips. But his face held firm before he set the kitten aside and sat up, brushing off most of the grass that had gotten onto his jacket.

If one were to look at the teen right now, they would be astonished to find that he had dressed in the most... inefficient way for a hot summer day like this. Thick leather jacket, a pair of boots, a pair of cargo pants and had a winter scarf wrapped around his neck. He should've been sweating, but no. By some weird miracle, he wasn't.
