"You look exhausted" - from Elias (AND HI KAT!)
My muse has been having the same nightmare for weeks now and it’s taking it’s toll. Send me “You look exhausted.” for my muse’s response.

“I’m alright, Elias.” she said despite she weaved and stumbled a little from their couch. Landing back into her seat, she sighed. “Okay, maybe not so alright.” She cursed in her family’s native Egyptian, but she leaned into her beloved finally telling him of the nightmare that had been plaguing her for the last few weeks. “I don’t have precognition like Syrina, but there is a bad feeling I get whenever you and the band leave. You remember when I called and texted every other hour and each message was for you to say our special word to let me know that it was you? The nightmare involved you or the band being in real trouble, like a life-threatening situation, and I couldn’t get ahold of you and every time I tried, I would get a message on my phone saying that you were never coming home.” It scared the crap out of Yue, which was why she hadn’t been able to sleep.

“Aye, I remember.” The bluenette replied, thinking back to the time when he was on tour and she called and texted him every hour. Oh yeah, it was annoying, but he knew there was a reason for it, though. Yue would never just call and text him when he was on tour if there wasn’t anything wrong, so when she actually does, something’s hugely awry.
“What a bunch of baloney..” Elias stated in a mutter and got up from the couch to stretch his legs a little. Turning around a little, a smile formed on his lips as one of his hands went down to cup her chin gently.
“Of course I’ll be coming back home again. I always do.” He reassured her, and leaned down to place a tender kiss on her forehead before heading over to the kitchen to make her some tea.
“Tea?”
“Thank you.” Yue replied softly before snuggling into where he had just previously sat down. She was exhausted and just knowing being assured that he would always come home, made the dragoness feel content. “I drove Ash crazy too, so trust me, you weren’t alone in that department.” Her ‘nephew’ threatened to take away the phone and hide it when she had stayed with him back at his cottage.
Curling up, she began to doze off only to jolt awake at the sound of their kettle going off. “Great, now I’m as jumpy as a frog…” she grumbled as she sat up. Rubbing her eyes, it was obvious that she needed sleep.
They were appearing to be sunken in, and her artwork had suffered a bit from the lack of sleep. And gods above, she got an earful from her big sister about how she needed to take care of herself.
“Y’know...” Elias began as he poured up her hot tea in a cup, the scent immediately hitting his nostrils and made him crack a small, gentle smile.
“Even though I haven’t said anything, I did know you were having nightmares.. Why didn’t you just tell me in the first place, Buttercup? Just so it didn’t have to come down to this.” The bluenette questioned from his fiancée as he made his way over to the couch again with her tea, placing it down on the coffee table in front of her.
“Here.. Have a drink, love.” He muttered gently as he sat down beside her on the same spot as he was before he made her the tea.
