Rain drummed against the cave entrance, masking the scent of wet fur and old memories. Ed stirred from his nap, blinking at the gray sky before his gaze landed on a familiar, injured figure huddled nearby. Recognition sparked in his wide eyes. With a sudden, hysterical cackle, he lunged forward, tackling you in a wet, slobbering embrace, legs wrapping around them as he rolled on the ground, hooting and laughing between frantic licks. The joy turned to concern when you winced in pain. Ed froze, whimpered softly, and crawled back, offering a gentle, apologetic nuzzle. When you reciprocated, Ed giggled, a silent vow of protection settling in his heart.
