RP: Same Bed
In which Crez talks to Nights calmingly
Starring: Nights, Crez
[6:56:56] * Nights lay in the darkened room looking up at the enchanted ceiling. It shows her the stars and the sky as if none of the smog and pollution of the State's past occupation was there and she lost herself in it. Crez lay next to her. She had insisted on him getting sleep in a proper bed after the day they had had. The table next to him had carefully trimmed orchids in a blown glass vase, and past that were the hundreds of books Nights had collected, her personal library laying in shelves in the dark. [6:59:24] * The house settles on itself and the wardrobe doors on Nights' side of the bed and at the foot the couch cast strange shadows on the wall. Everything about the room was alien to Crez as he had never even seen the personal space of Nights, as she was so reserved. [7:02:18] * Crez wiggles a bit, glancing between the room, the ceiling, and Nights herself, feeling a little awkward yet curious about seeing bits of her out in the open for him to see* I can't believe you actually decided to let me share the bed with you [7:04:09] <Nights> What else was I to do. *her voice is barely a whisper while she watches a shooting star pass overhead in the multitude of stars... perhaps it was a falling satellite instead* Kaja would have.... She would have been upset if I had made you sleep on my couch. [7:08:36] <Crez> But this is your bed, and i honestly don't mind sleeping on the couch, I didn't want to bother you. *He turns to look at her, watching for little changes when she mentions Kaja* [7:13:03] * Nights turns her head to look at him, her hair making soft noises over ther pillow in the silence. Her eyes for once are soft, unlike the hardened stare Crez is so used to* You are not bothering me cherie *She imitates the way kaja says his pet name, sounding almost exactly the same, then she turns back* [7:13:18] <Nights> It has been... One of those nights. [7:16:29] * Crez taps her back gently* Are you okay? You sounded more distressed earlier. I'm sorry I wasn't there to help. [7:18:52] * Nights quickly flinches at the touching, She reminded herself he was not going to attack her, she was safe here* [7:19:35] <Nights> You could have done nothing more.... I am glad you were not there or you may have been hurt. [7:20:34] * Nights rolls over to face crez. Her mask is different, back to the one she used before the gasmask, and she pulls on it slightly, adjusting it on her face* [7:23:07] * Crez had pulled his hand back, worried that he might have caused her pain* Sorry, uhm, I realize that we haven't checked if you were hurt. [7:24:04] <Crez> It... must have been scary for you to face her alone though... since you seem to trust Kaja a lot and uh, well, she got all fluxy bitey... [7:24:43] * Crez isn't quite sure if he should pat her face in reassurance* [7:26:31] <Nights> She just... attacked me. And I do not know why.. *Nights closes her eyes and buries her face closer to her own chest* Crez I promised we would find a cure but I am so useless in such matters... [7:27:04] <Nights> Krauzer thinks we are close but... There is no definitive proof. [7:30:27] * Crez rests his hand near Nights' head, even though he's still a bit wary of her he really wants to comfort her..* Maybe, maybe it was like the purpley things wanting to spread the infection? Or something? And, and well, we're all working together! We'll definitely get a cure! and then you can talk to Kaja again! And your Crew will all be better! [7:30:50] <Crez> You're not useless! You're helping control the spread and helping the ones who are sick feel at least a bit better [7:35:41] * Nights looks up and smiles slightly. She moves to quietly touch foreheads with his then backs off quietly* I hope it will be enough [7:37:40] * Crez makes a small noise, then looks at her intensely* Nights, I have a very serious question. Well, not the bad kind of serious so don't worry about that* [7:40:41] <Nights> hm? [7:41:08] <Crez> Uhm, can I give you a hug? To make you feel better? [7:42:35] <Nights> oh... That would be fine I suppose... *She whispers in a half mutter as she grows more tired* [7:43:46] * Crez wiggles close to Nights, and gently wraps his arms around her, nuzzling his head under her chin * [7:43:54] <Crez> Is this okay? [7:45:03] * Nights rests her chin on his head and places on of her arms around him* mhm [7:46:49] <Crez> I'm sure everything will turn out okay. *Crez gently rubs Nights' back* [7:47:59] * Nights sighs contently and buries her face in his curls* [7:48:12] <Nights> We will keep our promise.
