There was always shelter [Open!]

[showsnopiety]

Who: All of you!
When: Aguril 23rd
Where: In Haven, specifically the mansion by the dragon boys
What: We all need some chill, time to get some chill.
Warnings: Tea drugs, so much pizza, possible angst, tba



Her announcement said it all; it was going to be some time to chill out and enjoy possibly sleeping or at least resting properly the first time in a week or so. There was the garden that was starting to grow well; there were a few heated rocks and blankets spread out; there was the smell of baked goods and tea in the air, with cups ready.

There were only two rooms that were forbidden, as shown by the ribbon on the doors: Caren's room and...well, looking inside there was a bedroom, and those who were aware before knew who it belonged to.

Otherwise, it's a large mansion with plenty of room to spread around. Flop down with your blankets, pillows, whichever-or use the supplies or cene to make sure that Caren can make a personal pizza.

Else, take a cup and see about taking a chance to calm down and breathe.

Comments

[Prompto is a very good boy. Young man. Whatever. He's two months younger than Noctis, he can totally call him a boy.]

No, it's...shut up, I'm tired.

[It's worth noting that he's not actually trying to nap or anything. He wants to, but...doesn't want to at the same time.]

Guess that's why I'm here...stuff smells good, but it doesn't make me want to go to sleep any more.

[showsnopiety]

[That's kind of adorable. She laughs quietly, not seeming offended in the least. She does notice that he seems restless.]

It tastes better then it smells. But why don't you want to sleep?

[A wing moves over, moves to brush against his arm. It feels less intimate to do it with feathers then with a hand.]

Nightmares?

[eluci]

[If she's familiar with cats, she'll notice that his new tail is very restless, even if the rest of him is only slightly restless.

And more than slightly nervous, as he jumps when her wing brushes against him.]

Yeah, uh...trying to avoid them. That last one was way too real.

[showsnopiety]

[She's getting used to cats if only because of her own tail telegraphing her emotions.

She does tuck her wing back though, and against her back so he doesn't get jumpy again.]

Mm. I know that for myself, there have been times I've woken up in phantom pain from the dream.

I'm aware we don't know each other well but-would you like to talk about it? I'm not going to judge.

[eluci]

[He has to consider this for a few moments. He hasn't told anyone about any of his nightmares before, besides offhand comments about having them. His friends had had their own issues back home and no one had actually prompted any of them to talk about any concerns for longer than a couple minutes.

And here Caren was volunteering to listen, if he wanted. It was weird.]

...Dunno what to say. You were there, you know it sucked. What if it happens again, for longer?

[showsnopiety]

It did suck. And it could happen again, for longer.

[She props her chin on her hand, watching him with sleepy eyes. It did seem that it stressed him out quite a bit-he seemed so restless.]

But I didn't know everything. And I don't know how you personally feel about it. Everyone's experience is different.

[She took a moment to stretch her hand briefly, her nails extending-and sliding back.]

I don't know what it's like to be royal and have all the pressure to be the leader. What if you were okay but your friends were not? What if you were locked in and all you could do was watch?

What would you do?
