A smile came to her lips before she was fully awake, her head moving to rub her cheek firmer against his fingers. Tinder stretched like a feline under the satinesque sheet, its true composition a mystery she was too grateful for to contemplate. Then amber eyes blinked up at the nephilim who'd introduced her to tea, flight, and ecstasy all in the same day. "Morning?" she said/asked, groggy but feeling a jolt of warm delight that he'd stayed.
Or rather, came back. Her gaze searched Jesse's face. "You made breakfast...? Aha." Tinder slid closer to the edge of the bed, deeper into the embrace of his wingspan. "You don't just eat every dish on the globe," she teased. "You cook?"
Meanwhile, as Tinder woke, so did her phoenix. The sprite had presumably turned into the pile of ash which sat in a far corner of the room, now churning and coalescing into a dust devil that glowed red, then orange, then yellow before sprouting feathers and a tiny beak. A whistle charged the air of the room and raised the hair on the back of Tinder's neck. The little creature stretched, shook out its fiery wings as if, now fresh-born, it were ready to take flight and explore this place. With or without her. The phoenix prodded at the door with a beak now all sharp angles, then scratched with a blazing, hooked toe.

Dreams come in a size too big so we can grow into them.
