[Skit] Should've Stayed in Bed Today.

[ariseandresound]

[See Luke.]

[See Luke sleeping in.]

[It's already 11:00 AM Blessenwood time. Apparently he didn't make it to his room last night before passing out on the spot. That is, he seems to have fallen asleep on the guild couch, right in the middle of everything.]

Zzzzz....

[Ruca just watches for a longer moment wondering what to do: wake Luke up or not.

Well, since it was already 11.00 AM, he decided to try waking Luke up.]

Um, Luke?

[ariseandresound]

[Luke seems to stir... but in the end he only rolls over so his back is to Ruca and continues sleeping.]

Zzzz...

[peaceful_flame]

[He tries one more time!]

Luke, wake up. [shakes Luke's shoulder slightly.]

[ariseandresound]

[The snoring stops long enough for Luke to mutter under his breath.]

Just ten more minutes...

[peaceful_flame]

[He's not giving up and shakes Luke's shoulder again.]

...Luke!

[ariseandresound]

[Muttered under his breath.]

What is it now...?

[peaceful_flame]

[A sigh.]

...Could you please wake up?

[ariseandresound]

[Opens his eyes slowly and squints up at Ruca.]

...Huh? Why??

Something happen?

[peaceful_flame]

Um, not really. It's just it's already past 11...

[ariseandresound]

Guess there's no chance you'll let me sleep in til lunchtime, is there?

[With a sigh, Luke finally sat up, following it up with a stretch and a stifled yawn. A bed might have been better after all, he was pretty stiff.]

All right, I'm up.

[Experience told him if he didn't get going now, he'd regret the consequences later on.]

[peaceful_flame]

[Ruca smiled.]

I'm sorry.

[Then he made a thoughtful look.]

...Why were you sleeping here in the first place?

[ariseandresound]

[Another "sorry", huh? Luke tries not to twitch, or groan, or anything like that.]

Didn't I already tell you you don't have to apologize for every little thing? You don't have anything to be sorry about. If it were Natalia or Tear, they'd just yell and tell me I better get up right now.

[With a sigh, Luke rocked backwards slightly and used the momentum to hoist himself to his feet without using his hands at all.]

I was out late on a quest yesterday. Must've dozed off as soon as I sat down for a minute.

[peaceful_flame]

[A sheepish smile.]

...I guess, I'm kind of doing it out of habit.

[He then nodded at Luke's words.]

You must've been really tired.

[ariseandresound]

Heh. Yeah, I kind of figured that much... Otherwise I guess it'd have been easier to stop by now.

[Scratches his cheek.]

Not really. I think it's got something to do with when I was brought to Atlas.

[peaceful_flame]

[Now he's worrying.]

What do you mean? What happened before you were brought here?

[ariseandresound]

[This isn't weird and/or awkward at all. Faking this like it's not a big deal...?]

Uh, well... I was kind of disappearing before I came here. It's called... "fonon separation".
