[ It's a very, very exhausted Xion who is now finally home safe and in bed after a long day. Being returned from a death penalty removal only to end up in a vicious fight with your once boyfriend can take a lot out of a girl

[markofthewise]

... welcome back. Where did you go?

[Don't mind his flat tone. He's just sulkyy, okay.]

[Filtered]

[poppetry]

[ quiet, for a moment. there's no reason to keep this a secret, right?

... she filters it anyway. ]

I went to see John.

[Filtered]

[markofthewise]

[Give him a moment and...]

Like... red John? That John?

[Filtered]

[poppetry]

... that John. [ there's some faint distaste in her emphasis. ] ... I went to get my penalty removed.

[Voice; Locked]

[cakeblocked]

[And here he was about to give a "HEY YOU'RE BACK". But then she directs part of her post to him, and, well... better backtrack on that excitement so that he doesn't sound TOO happy over her coming back, even though his voice sounds a little light thanks to that.]

Xion! I'm okay... But what about you? Where did you go?

[He would've asked Ginko, but... he kind of knocked his pen over and couldn't manage to get it, and then he just flopped his head back on the pillow and went right to sleep. Yeah, he was feeling pretty terrible at that point... But right now, he's much better. All he has left is a slight cough.]

[Voice; Locked] nice edit.

[poppetry]

[ .............. how does she explain this to Luke without....

UH. ] There was just something I had to take care of... it's kind of a long story. [ eh heh. ] I'll explain it later, okay?

I ... actually had a favor to ask you.

[Voice; Locked] shut up D|

[cakeblocked]

[And Luke... is perfectly okay with that.] Oh... Okay. What is it?

[Voice; Locked] I basically live to tease you.

[poppetry]

... could you come over? [ vaguely nervous face. ]

[ private ]

[one_green_eye]

Xion ... [Hey, now.]

-- how do you feel?

[ private ]

[poppetry]

Ginko. [ her voice warms. this is an obviously welcome presence. ]

Not great, but ... I'll be okay. It's kind of strange, being able to feel sore again... anything that hurts. I'd kind of forgotten what it was like.

[ private ]

[one_green_eye]

Hm. [So that was the case...

gravely] Pain is pretty valuable.

[ private ]

[poppetry]

... yeah. [ the smile is gone. ] I don't like it, but ... I needed it. I just hope that's an experience I never have to repeat. [ for more reasons than one. ]

There are a few different ways to get to sleep. You can try drinking something warm if you have to calm your nerves or turning in bed until you find a comfortable position to rest in. Unless this is an issue of 'having too many things on your mind' to rest.

[because hey, the literal dream definitely knows about trying to get people to sleep so she can invade their privacy I mean.]

voice;

[poppetry]

Warm... like what? [ tea and milk come to mind, but she's not particularly feeling either. ] But yeah, it's definitely the too many things issue.

voice;

[byakkoyagirl]

Usually milk, but I know people who fall asleep from a warm glass of scotch. ...But, you look a bit too young for alcoholic remedies!

If that's the case, I recommend writing them down to get them out of your mind. If you don't want to talk about them to someone that is.

voice;

[poppetry]

[ ... what is alcohol. what is scotch. what are these things of which you speak, young and innocent poppet does not know. well, she's probably heard of them, but .... doesn't really know from them at all. ] Scotch?

Um... you know, I think I'd rather try milk. [ eh heh, dodge. ] ... I guess I could make hot chocolate... right? I haven't had that very much... [ it makes her think of Luke. ... not blushing. ]

[Oh, hey, person-that-he-knows. What an interesting question to throw out there-and of course one that will always automatically scream 'I'm having problems', whether Xion likes it or not; but Wolfwood grins and sinks into his couch cushions.]

I like reading, if I can't sleep. I used to just mope around and drive myself crazy with the quiet, but-I've started to notice that isn't the funnest route to take.

[his smile creases even more]

... besides, it's pretty damn easy to get to sleep if you're reading something boring.

[poppetry]

[ oh hey there Nicholas why so judgy. couldn't she just have insomnia )8 doesn't that happen to normal people sometimes??? gosh.

but she smiles to see him. Wolfwood is one of those people she always gets along with, no matter how bad she's feeling. case in point: what he says makes her laugh, albeit quietly. ]

Something like what, though? The dictionary? That's pretty boring.

Re: [Filtered]

[not_a_bluesbro]

[That's because Wolfwood, despite his occasional angst and horrible moral dilemmas, can be a pretty chill dude. I know, it's shocking!

also omgsiiiiiigh at your response, Xion-]

The dictionary? Young lady, are you trying to knock yourself out only after a few seconds? Heck, I think all you have to do is read the cover and you're out like a light!

[poppetry]

[ sdaglkjsad what. what. the way he's addressing her makes her start giggling pretty much immediately. ]

Hey! You said boring, that was the most boring thing I could think of! [ a beat ] Besides, I've actually done that before... [ read the dictionary. Xion: secretly a nerd. ]
