We'll give that a shot then.

After I've caught up on a little sleep.

....though, I guess now we know why I got all gung ho about the bonding thing. [Threat of extinction makes for being dedicated to just. Not.]

[awakenerd]

Yeah. You're real dedicated to saving people.

[schrodingerscockroach]

It's not like we had much choice.

The Covenant had a lot better weapons than us, especially if they don't even need to go planet side if they don't want anything from it. And I didn't feel any doubt.

They just wanted us dead. For some reason, I didn't think for a second there was another way with them.

The only way to make it was to make sure as many people could survive as possible.

[awakenerd]

[What a grim reality.]

Well, you're definitely a survivor.

[schrodingerscockroach]

[It really is.]

It really seems like that. I think the Colonel was looking for that. To see whether I could deal with the situation or if I'd crack in that sort of scenario.

I don't think that was the first time I was close to a Glassing. [Which sounds. Like a goddamn nightmare, Jesus Christ.] No wonder I agreed to be a human experiment.

[awakenerd]

Desperate times... At least you have more context for why you look like you've been through a few neat grinders.

[schrodingerscockroach]

Yeah. Had a war we couldn't afford to lose against an alien alliance that had us outgunned. If you could be the crazy fucker to survive near death, then by god, I was gonna keep doing it.

[awakenerd]

Hopefully this conflict you've been roped into is a little more relaxing over all.

[schrodingerscockroach]

At least it seems likely to have far less grenades.

[awakenerd]

...For now.

[schrodingerscockroach]

Let me live the dream while I can. I'm already toeing the line between rugged handsomeness and just living scar tissue.

[awakenerd]

For what it's worth you're definitely still firmly on the handsome side of the equation.

[He chuckles, a bit tired.] You're sweet.

[Gonna take Rean's hand in his and lifts it up to kiss the back of it. Because he still wants to kiss Rean and also cause Sparks.]

[This fucking guy]

Re: Bond

[awakenerd]

"You're sweet" he says, being sweet.

[He squeezes Dusk's hand gently.]

Want to talk about your memories more or actually get some rest? Anything I can do about the nightmares?

Re: Bond

[schrodingerscockroach]

[He was already willing to terrorize and THEN CHARM HAPPENED.]

[He grins a bit, content to hold his hand a while.]

Depends. You biting back any worry right now? [Mister mother hen.]

...see, now I'm thinking of things that sound like flirting, but could also be a legitimate strategy.

Re: Bond

[awakenerd]

[Hand holding is nice and Rean will keep this hand for now.]

What were you thinking, getting worn out?

Re: Bond

[schrodingerscockroach]

....well, I certainly didn't dream the one time I actually slept against the Covenant.

But when I think about stopping nightmares, I think having someone in the room can help.

Re: Bond

[awakenerd]

Company can definitely help a lot. Trouble sleeping alone isn't even that uncommon without a lot of trauma.

Re: Bond

[schrodingerscockroach]

....

Have you ever seen Clover's bedrooms?

There are like. So many blankets. It's a ridiculous amount of blankets.

Re: Bond

[awakenerd]

I haven't, no. And now I want to.

Re: Bond

[schrodingerscockroach]

Whoever designed Clover is ridiculous, but they got comfort.

You could bring a book, I don't think light bothers me either way.

Re: Bond

[awakenerd]

I just might. It wouldn't be too weird, having me awake nearby?

Re: Bond

[schrodingerscockroach]

I slept in barracks. No way we were all asleep at the same time everytime.

And who even knows with the shipwreck.

[Which is also another fun thing to look forward too, HE GUESSES.]

Re: Bond

[awakenerd]

All right, fair enough. If you want my company it's yours.
