Three hours. Thatās all sheād gotten this time before being woken by her own screams. Worick was already gone for his job and the only one in the place was Nico. Not that he could have possibly heard her scream, but he probably saw her agitated sleep. Ā Lowering her head, she rubbed at her eye and sighed. The raven really didnāt want to worry Nicolas with her problems, but Theo told her that tranquilizers were scarce and that she should take them only if necessary⦠which greatly reduced her hours of sleep. Dealing with nightmares wasnāt something new, but those were so vivid she often woke up with her body drenched in sweat and face wet with tears.
āDonāt worryā¦Iāll be fine. I swear.āā
Time heal all the wounds they said. So she only had to wait and get over her trauma. Lifting herself from the bed, she took away the sheets so she could wash them. Worick would probably need the bed when he came back and sleeping in someone elseās sweat was rather disgusting. Ā Tired eyes gazed back at Nico and she signed something quickly about food. Was he hungry? Did he need anything? But most importantly.. was he watching over her in her sleep? She wondered..
Sure, Nicolas was deaf, but he certainly wasnāt blind.
He didnāt particularly enjoy being upstairs when Alex was there, or really sharing any rooms with her. It wasnāt anything personal, nothing he was about to go into. Still, day by day it became easier, not by much but it was something.Ā
He hadnāt meant to peek into the room and watch her, heād just been looking for Worick, unsure of whether he was still out. He wasnāt one to get involved, but he didnāt necessarily enjoy seeing innocent people suffer. Worick had said something about her not sleeping, but he hadnāt mentioned the screaming.Ā
Nicolas brings up a hand, holding it a few inches in front of her chest to stop her and take the sheets from her hands. He pauses, almost bringing up his hands to sign, but clicks his tongue instead, rolling his eyes and stepping around her to pull off the pillowcase as well.
