[reaching up to give a brief kiss, very good job, then snuggling up to him]
If I drift off, I apologize.

Not a bad idea.
[might as well get comfortable]
Then I guess I can stick around, in case you do.

[so, laying down, yes??]
To be my guard? I would much prefer if you slept as well. You are patently awful at it.

[they are, indeed laying down]
I'm not really geared towards sleeping long periods of time.
[but he'll put an arm around her.]

[she is going to put her head on his chest then, the most cozy]
Nor do I have abilities for that, either. Bad End? How are they?

They're fine.
[they can be cozy then.]
I wouldn't worry about them.
[they can be cozy then.]
I wouldn't worry about them.
You aren't feuding with them again, are you? Only trying to make me rest again, yes?
The latter-- and I wouldn't say I was feuding in the first place.
[still.]
But do you need rest? Is that what you're hinting at?
[still.]
But do you need rest? Is that what you're hinting at?
You have your moments which is not surprising considering everything. Pep has had its moments as well.
But, no, that is not what I'm hinting at. Rather, I assure that I am still mindful of my limits which, as of right now, are set at not discussing that game or home, nor coming up with any more plans to follow up on. Those aside, my schedule is open.
Also, I would tell you how many hours I've slept, but I can't actually make sense of the numbers on my phone at the moment.
[rolling over to have her arms on his chest, looking at him]
I am as fine as I am able to be, Jay, and I greatly appreciate your concern. It is touching.

[there's this look of amusement on his face when she goes through all of her boundaries, and then finishes with turning to face him.]
If there were any doubt in my head about how much I should pry? You basically just settled that. So, I guess, I'll be here, in my concern for you.
Not talking about any of the stuff that might have started it.
Chilling in case you nod off.
That about where we're at?
[he lowers his hands so he can trail his fingers along her arms lightly]

I am struggling to find other topics of discussion and only find myself at tea or food. I am very open to suggestions.

See, I can think of some things, if you really would like discussion topics. But it's okay to not discuss too, you know. Only so much you can say with all of the big recent events being off limits.
[so you know, he can grab her hand lightly.]
Weather's boring, don't ever talk to me about that, unless it's crazy. [but it never is]
Guy's night out can't be interesting to you.

Guy's night out can't be interesting to you.
Hm, try not to repeat what you said about the weather where there are cameras. We do not need to give them ideas.
[hm, lacing their fingers]
Your night is interesting, only so that I may know what damage, if any, has been done. So, are you giving up conversation then? Since my terms are so difficult.

No damage.
Didn't get any angry calls this morning, at least.

It may be too early . . . Well, then, that must be the conclusion of our chat.
You give up too easily.
You might make me think I've got no social graces at this rate.
[teasing]

[teasing]
You didn't offer any topics. And you have confidence enough to bolster your spirits.
I think you've got the more restrictive set of topics between us. But, alright. Say this is the conclusion, because we're both at an impasse.
The angry calls from my night out haven't come in, and we need to avoid all the major things that have happened lately.
[he inclines his head towards her]
What then?

We fall into comfortable silence, I rest and you soothed by that . . .
[Ridiculous early morning. Think 2-3 AM. Someone is a night owl.]
Alexander: It is a parasite!
Alexander: Your scourge
Alexander: One so peculiar that countless lectures of Halmarut will I need to pour through.

Refrigerator is typing . . .
[ten minutes later]
Refrigerator: And what does it feed upon?
[ten minutes later]
Refrigerator: And what does it feed upon?
Alexander: Isn't that the question!
Alexander: It is not uncommon for a parasite to physically consume or alter the host.
Alexander: Less common that it could make one a mindless, mad monster.
Alexander: It is the changing into a daemon that is unique. Once fed, all points would lead to the death of the host. Not the rebirth of it into another creature entirely.
[A few moments pass.]
Alexander: You are aware you can change your name.

Refrigerator: Parasites are living creatures. Should they not wish to procreate and ensure their survival?

Alexander: Then we should discern how it is spread.
Alexander: You mentioned your God Bahamut was responsible for yours no longer spreading. Without the god's intervention, how would the tale unfold.

Refrigerator: I would not be entirely certain it is him.
Refrigerator: Here, I cannot feel the gods, so they may hold no power in this realm.
Refrigerator: But it has not spread. Of that, I am certain.
