â You havenât slept in days. Do you want to talk about it? â -from Terra
( * sleep starters | @finiarclâ )
   â THEREâS NOTHING TO talk about.  â
   she couldnât even look up from her work as she said it, her gaze focused on the papers sheâd been givenââââ information about the next stage of reconstruction that sheâd been trying to read for far too many hours inââââ between YAWNS, blurry vision, and a few minutes of dozing off here and there. it was clear that she hadnât been able to sleep for a while.
   kairi wasnât sure if terra had come of his own accord, or if someone had asked him to come on their behalf, but kairi had to admit that she was SURPRISED to see him of all of the keyblade wielders. his soft voice made it clear he only wanted to help, but help wasnât something she was willing to accept from anyone.
  â iâve just been busy. i know it looks better than before, but thereâs still a lot to do around here. i havenât quite had the time to rest. â
   it wasnât true, but it wasnât exactly a lie. she passed the time she couldnât sleep by doing extra work, and she had to admit that she was quite PROUD every time she came into the kingâs offices in the morning with much more work done than anyone anticipated, but it wasnât the reason that she was kept up at night.
   sheâd just been THINKING too much.
   she turned her head, resting in her hand, towards terra, sending him a small, but GRATEFUL, smile. despite the fact that she wasnât quite ready to accept any assistance, kairi was still grateful for his concern.
  â iâm okay. i promise. thank you, terra. â
