Dorm #4

*looks over at her, blinking eyes open*
Hey..
*smiles a little*
You were out for quite a long time...

*yawns again, ears flicking back*
Mmm...how long, exactly?
*rubs eyes like a little kid*

*laughs*
I think about a full 24 hours

*blinks*
Really? Nnnh...whatever got me got me good!
*laughs a little*

*laughs*
What got you is exhaustion, and it tends to do that.
If you go out into the kitchen area, there's a plate of food for you out there. I'm not hungry

*smiles, blushing more as her stomach rumbles again*
T-thank you...

*smiles and nods*
Don't thank me..it's only polite.

I'll be back, then.
*hugs Mael quickly, thankfully, and goes out to eat*

*nods and sits on the edge of the bed, stretching out and yawning*
That was a good rest..

*comes back after finishing the food, tail swishing a little, looking a bit more awake*

*stands and straightens his coat*
All better now?

*nods*
Yes, very much. Thanks...

*takes a slow breath, running his hand through his hair*
Hmm, sorry if sleeping in the same bed curled up next to me made you..uncomfortable. I know I'm not Abel..and I'm not trying to take his place. I just wanted you to rest well...and you were having nightmares it seemed until I laid down beside you.

*smiles, blushing slightly*
No...I always sleep better when I'm with someone, somehow...I think it came from me spending so much time sleeping alone with my nightmares...

Alright
*looks down*
I promised myself I'd never tell her..unless she spoke up first....but why do I always want to blurt it out?

*tilts head to the side*
Something...wrong...?

*shakes head*
Nothing, nothing at all.

*tail swishes a little, smiling*
Alright then!
I've seemed so much more cheerful lately...like every bad thought I used to have...just disppears and goes somewhere else...

*raises an eyebrow*
Those may be going to someONE else...

*walks into the dorm and flips on the lights*
*goes into the room and hangs his coat on a coat rack, stripping off his shirt and stretching*
*rests feet on edge of bed and does 100 decline pushups*
*turns on back and does 250 situps and stretches once more before lying down and going to bed, letting his flute lie on his chest and play a tune according to whatever type of dream he may be having*
*falls asleep with the flute playing a quiet, calm tune*

*storms into dorm, letting telekinetic energy open and shut the door to the dorm and his room for him as he passes through them both*
*sits down on bed and holds head in hands*
What the hell am I supposed to do now?

*flies into the dorm through the open window*
Moping around here won't help a damned bit..I've outlived you Mael. Phoenixes do that. If I can live, you can as well.

Oh? I'd like to see you deal with as much loss as I have recently.
*jumps out window, landing on the ground below*
*walks off towards town*

*jumps back up through the window, leaving it open and falling asleep immediately on the couch*

*stands in front of the door, looking up at it sickly and pale*
*lifts hand to knock then flinches, recalling the incident at the cemetery*
*lowers hand and face, looking down to the space under the door*

*floats in through the window with Chimi and goes directly to his room, holding her in his arms and kissing her gently*
