That went well! No consequences! No consequences at all just a silly dream sequence that happened to have her friend in it no consequences none her actions here have zero consequences nothing here is real and
Herneith kisses him. Just for a second. Like an idiot. Like a stupid idiot with no emotional control.
She’s going to hate herself for this forever.
No consequences at all!
Aaka's mouth lies agape. He can't say anything to her before the dream fades from view. When he wakes up, and sits up so fast in his bunk he knocks his head against the stone-hard ceiling (ow), he's blushing hard and thoroughly confused.
Does he have a crush on her? He doesn't think so. It's been so long since he had a genuine connection with someone, he wouldn't be surprised if his stupid brain was doing THAT to try and get that sort of attention again- or to try and drown out the grief he keeps bottling up over his dead old friend and his family. It's pathetic, really, after 4 or so years he's still in the denial stage of them disowning him.
The prisoner below him kicks his bedframe to get him to keep down, and he realizes he was chittering. He closes his mouth tight, knitting his offset teeth together to keep all the involuntary sound in. He doesn't know what to feel anymore.
Aaka quickly climbs out of bed, paces the room a bit, wonders what time it is, wishes he could leave his cell at this point without getting punished, and then turns on the tv (keeping it muted, just so he doesn't bother anyone else) so he can drown out every scared, bewildered, and flustered thought in his head all at once.
