[And then the fear began to rise up again, thinking about just how many nightmares would try to destroy her in her sleep tonight now that she had remembered something new. While she could never recall them when she woke up, she had noticed before that they were always worse whenever she managed to recover a new memory in the same way she had tonight. Her body stiffens, leaning into him all the more out of wanting to escape those inevitable terrors.

Would he really stay with her, if she asked? Or perhaps she wouldn't even have to, since he had already proven that he knew her better than she had ever thought he would. This was stupid really, she was fifteen. The age of adulthood, of starting families of your own. How could she still behave like such a child?

But she can't stand to be alone in a life she hardly remembers enough of.] I don't want to be alone...

I already planned to stay, don't worry. [He ruffles her hair once more, trying to cheer her up a bit. Sure, it might be a bit more awkward now that they don't share a room, but far be it from him to deny her a healthy night's sleep after who knows how long without it.

While normally he would be insistent she sleep alone at her age, he had long ago realized she didn't act, or even seem, her proper age. It might just be a cultural thing, or even her lack of memories. He wasn't sure, but he would give her the time she needed to get over it.]

[... He had planned to stay anyway. This truth somehow is enough to ease her heart and mind of the ever-looming fear, and she can't help giving a small, albeit still timid smile. Somewhere in the back of her mind she was tempted to tell him that it would just be best to leave her to deal with all this by herself, but they had entered this conversation tonight because they had allowed that to happen. It... probably wouldn't be best to repeat that again, at least not so soon.

Now that she knows that he won't leave, she finds herself becoming very tired and sleepy. There was no doubt that her body was finally beginning to succumb to the emotional turmoil... Perhaps she would become ill soon, but for now she simply leans on Frey, trying to not fall asleep so quickly.] ... E'thaji?

[He allows her to lean, laying back so as to get more comfortable and tucking the blankets around her to keep her warm.]

Yes....?

... Will Lymsleia be okay? [It's not that she actually cares much about her right now, but she's not ignorant of the fact that Frey's happiness will closely tie in with hers. It... made her jealous, but she can't force herself into them like they really were normal siblings, at least not yet. It already felt intrusive enough as it was.]

.....It might be difficult at first, but I know she will come to accept you. We have many people back home we consider akin to family... There is no reason it cannot be the same with time here. [He sighs, tucking the blankets around them both as he lays back, his tone pensive.] My worry is that I am uncertain if she fully understands that I have been here so long, or our situation. She has only escaped one prison... and now she is here, unable to escape.

Just remember, she is young. And we have both lost a lot in recent times. Her more recent then I. It might help, to have someone to talk to.

[She almost has to bite down her lip to avoid lashing out angrily, to say that even with all that happening, she didn't have to deal with thinking and being told she was unwanted. But she doesn't, because that... would probably upset him. He was being kind to her, there was no reason to make him revoke it.

So she just stays silent, trying to banish that anger from herself while squeezing her eyes shut, trying to ignore just how lonely she still felt even though she could hear his heartbeat right beside her.]

[He can tell she's tense, but is confused as to why.

Had he said something wrong?] Kaori.....?

Hm? [She doesn't open her eyes, hoping that she can fall asleep quickly enough that she can avoid having to answer questions and answering in a way that she would regret, that she would never be able to take back. Frey's presence... she didn't want to lose it, never.

If she lost Frey as well, there would be no point to staying in this village. Beg to every entity out there that she be returned home where she wouldn't have to deal with all this confusion, where the lines between what was allowed and what wasn't was clear cut and no one expected any different.]

.....Good night. [No, he didn't want to push it tonight, either.

He just wanted to hope that things would get better, from here on out. Fall asleep and hope tomorrow would be a little easier. Childish, maybe..... but he didn't want to drag this out to a point that would end without her sleeping, more.]
