[Kevas hasn't had a good night's sleep since arriving at the keep. What little sleep he does get is plagued with nightmares of those he left behind. At this point he's all but given up trying to get any decent rest

*Sollux is not doing the best job of paying attention to where he's going to either when he comes across Kevas. He was supposed to be on his way back to his room from the library, and is carrying a bag of something, but he doesn't really have the layout of this place down. And is having some trouble caring about it, honestly.
He's gotten used to seeing the strange, pale aliens he assumes are human by now, but Kevas is something else altogether. So he stops and watches him for a moment, making sure the drunk creature isn't a threat. Not that anything here has been a threat yet, but there's a first time for everything.*
[Kevas catches Sollux watching him and turns to face the kid. Grey skin and horns, just like Nepeta. That must mean he's another troll. Why is not surprised to find that there's more of them? Is it so much to ask to ever find a troll from Azeroth walking around? Apparently so. It seems Kevas will be the last of his kind no matter where he goes.]
*Ogres and other underlings never talked, so its probably a good bet Kevas is another one of the people pulled here. Thus not an immediate threat. (Sollux isn't sure if he's happy or upset at that, really.) He grunts a bit.*
[Speaking of nightmares, Vie's been experiencing a few of her own. Rather than toss and turn anymore, she takes to wandering the halls, choosing distraction over further attempts at rest. The sound of someone further down the hallway catches her interest and Vie pauses. Her own steps are silent, but whoever approaches seems to be not trying at all.]
Anyone there?
[Sense tells her she should sit quiet and wait, but Vie's tired of waiting. Anxiousness has the better of her. Her hand falls to the hilt of one of her blades, just incase the stranger proves hostile.]
[Kevas stops dead in his tracks. He knows that voice. How could he not? His heart swells with joy. Even tears begin to well up in his eyes. He found his little sister! She's safe and she's alive! This is the happiest he's been since getting here.]
Vie! I can't believe it. Was startin' to t'ink I was nevah gonna see joo again.
[His pace quickens. The troll is so eager to embrace his sister once again.]

Vie halts and takes a few steps back, lowering her stance and ready to spring as Kevas approaches.]
