Are you...alright?

[bowtiedbones]

Yes?

[desirestruth]

I'm sorry, I suppose I've just never seen you looking under the weather, like this.

[She's resisting the urge to check for a fever. Poorly, but still resisting.]

[bowtiedbones]

[drags her fingers through her hair mmmmmweighing what to say]

I'm not sick. It's just a bad mood.

[desirestruth]

...Mmmm.

[Well then. She's just going to pick up Estelle and put her in Eliza's lap. Where she falls back asleep.

She doesn't really know how else to approach this.]

[bowtiedbones]

[curls up tighter into her corner of the couch. petting estelle, of course.]

Thanks for checking, though.

[desirestruth]

Of course. We're in this together, aren't we?

[Well, she'll just. Sit at the other end here. Not too close, because she's, well, cold.]

[bowtiedbones]

[...tilts over to lean against her anyways]

Mm.

...I haven't really been sleeping. Not since I got here.

[desirestruth]

[...Awkwardly...hugs?

Naeva I know physical affection is lewd but do your best.]

...I don't really need to, but I doubt I could if I did. [A pause.] There's a number of herbs we can grow for teas that help sleep, if it comes down to it.

[bowtiedbones]

Mostly I drink coffee.

[desirestruth]

You need to get sleep, stimulants will only last so long.

[bowtiedbones]

I know. And the crashes are nasty.

[desirestruth]

So, I'll look in to something that could help you sleep. I doubt I can just buy everyone on the train pets.

[bowtiedbones]

Okay. At least, petwise— though they're not really pets. I do have Isildur and Isolde. Lori too now. They help me feel safe and they get fussy if I have them up too late with me.

[desirestruth]

That's good of them. I'm not sure I'd really call any companion animal a pet, in the end, but the word sounds cuter, doesn't it?

[bowtiedbones]

Yeah. Honestly, I've gotten mad before at people calling them pets— there's a big difference with familiars, right? But pet is as cute as they are.
