Allelujah... [Her eyes lower apologetically.] I'm sorry that I saw something so private.

Are you... are you alright?

2/2

[Physically rocks forward on couch a little, before catching himself and settling back] Ms Sumeragi.

[livebythebottle]

Yes. I arrived a few days ago. [Her voice becomes a little firmer.] Allelujah, you still didn't answer my question. Are you alright?

[The bedroom door swings openly slowly with a creek into the small hall, where she lingers momentarily at his back to her. It takes a while before she speaks.]

You're awake?

[ofgratitude]

[He turns his head towards her a little, though it is a slow movement] Did I wake you?

[glasscaseflower]

No.

[She holds the look as best as she could before looking away.]

Should I leave you be?

[ofgratitude]

You can stay. [It's quick, impulsive, and he looks aside immediately] Unless you...

[lolgundam]

[he won't make fun of you just this once and you can see that he viewed the entry.]

[ofgratitude]

[He's certainly not going to start conversation, but you can be sure the significance of the silence does not escape him - he's not exactly touched, but there might be a bit of grudging gratitude there.]

[Sends the call through after a few moments of consideration.] Hey.

[ofgratitude]

[He might be getting good at predicting the enquiries by this point.]

I'm alright.

[neraiutsuze]

That's good.

...Nightmare? [Asking because he's just not sure. Allelujah looks more exhausted than anything else.]

[ofgratitude]

Mm. Old memories. Perhaps... [a small, humourless smile]

[nocatchphrase]

...Hey Alle.

[ofgratitude]

Lyle.

[nocatchphrase]

Shit sucks, huh?

[ofgratitude]

That's one way to say it.
