When Orion receives the first text message, the sandman has almost finally claimed him for the night after over 22 hours of sleeplessness.
So he is irritated as all hell by the obnoxious beep of his phone and groans loudly into his pillow as he gropes for his phone blindly on the nightstand. He lights up the screen in the dark, wincing a little at the blue brightness, and scrolls through his recent notifications.
[ NIKITA: 00:42 ] do you think the moon has feelings?
Despite his utter weariness, despite the bone-deep exhaustion curling through his blood veins, Orion smiles.
[ ORION: 00:44 ] Why do you ask?
The pause is only 13 seconds long. Orion flips onto his back and counts the faint clicks of the wall clock on his hotel room as he waits.
The half moon is spreading its glittering light through the window and Orion watches it. He doesn't know the answer to Nikita's question.
[ NIKITA: 00:44] i just wonder if it's lonely sometimes. i would be. lonely. if i was all alone in the big sky when it's dark.
