115. Light

Hey. We've got a lotta new people this month, huh? For anyone who's new, I'm Sheena. I think the guide answers just about every question, but I've been here for a really long time, so if anyone wanted to ask, I'm okay with answering about stuff.

I was thinking about trying out that battle arena thing. Anyone done it already and wanna tell me what it was like? If it's like the coliseum I dunno about trying it.

What would you guys think about having a winter, uh, festival thing like we did a couple years ago?

[Yuri]
I met your crazy rival.

[Raine]
Hey, are you up for visitors? I know it's gonna get late soon...but hopefully Albert'll forgive me.

[Oh god why are you doing that]

Just a bad dream, don't worry about it.

[the spirit has moved her. Now that he's let go some, she pushes herself up to half-sitting, leaning on one arm, and goes on doing that to his face even though there isn't hair on it]

You sure? I'll talk if you want.

[He'll just nuzzle back in without returning to the death grip.]

...This works good enough anyways.

[he closes his eyes again. He looks awfully comfortable with them closed.]

You gonna be okay going back to sleep?

[he shifted. She's stroking his back or his wings now instead.]

[That warrants another shift where he goes belly down. If she's going to touch him in such a sensitive spot, he's not risking things getting a little.... awkward.]

Of course.

[well she's sitting up now, it wouldn't have gotten too bad.]

Okay then. [and this, she will do until he does fall asleep. As long as he doesn't start the rib-crushing again]

[He'll fall asleep again fairly quickly. Of course, that doesn't prevent the next nightmare, so he'll be back to sleeping with a grimace and clenched fists]

[sigh.]

Zelos, c'mon, wake up. 'S not real.

[This time, he does jump. Moreso startled than anything, but it takes him a second to get his bearings and catch his breath.]

Ahh, sorry. I wake you up?

[He thinks he's been asleep longer than he was]

[shaking her head]

Hmm-mm. I'm still up. What was it about this time?

Spiders.

[No, really.]

[another sigh. He still doesn't want to talk about it. She's usually a little more forthcoming with what she dreams about, at least in terms of general subject. But she'll gently smooth out his hair, all the same]

Then what can I do to help you stop dreaming about spiders? You'll never get any sleep this way.

Remind me to stop eating weird things before bed.

Mm, sorry. I wasn't home.

[Here, have a really groggy grin.]

Eh, it's fine. I'm tired enough that I'll-

[yaaaaaaaaaawn]

It's pointless if you keep waking up scared.

You keep waking me up. Just let me tough it out.

[blink. She honestly hadn't thought he'd want that.]

I dunno if I can watch you...go through that and not do anything about it.

I can go back to my room if it bothers you.

That's not what I meant!

...I just don't like it that I can't really do anything to help.

If I knew how you could help, I'd tell you, believe me. I'm used to it, it's no big deal.

You need me to get you anything? ...I'll just let you sleep the next time.

Nah. Contrary to what you might think, you being around is more than enough.

[He snuggles in. At least he seems to be in a good mood]

...Okay. [she turns her face away to hide the blush (angel eyes could see it in the dark) but since it seemed to help last time, she goes back to running her fingers through his hair]

I have no idea why, but that feels... really nice.
