[In the woods, Saga is sitting under a tree with his back against the trunk, wearing his Cloth. He's sleeping... veeery deep sleeping. But if someone looks closely, his face looks tired as if he hadn't slept well for several days. Even worse... his features are much sadder than usual. The reasons? Unknown... yet

[Oliver is taking a walk in the woods (because everyone needs a break from TARDIS adventures now and then) when he catches a glimpse of something gold between the trees. frowning curiously, he heads toward it, only belatedly realising what it's from] Sa--oh! [noticing that his friend is asleep, he cuts off his cry and skids to a stop, snapping several twigs in the process. clearly clamping his hands over his mouth is going to help make up for the noise, too]

[saddenedsaint]

[It seems the slight noise didn't wake Saga up because his chest rises to breath only. But... ] You sure make a lot of noise.

[Chuckles as he half opens an eye.]

[oliverplus]

[Oliver jumps about a foot in surprise at Saga's sudden comment] Bloody hell! Don't do that!

[saddenedsaint]

[Opens his eyes. Can't help but tiny smile at that.] I should be the one saying so. [Sarcastic.]

[oliverplus]

Hey, I didn't know you were sleeping there! I tried to be quiet!

[saddenedsaint]

You tried. [See that? Despite his tired face he still grins.]

[oliverplus]

[pouts] I didn't know I needed to be in advance!

But you okay, Saga? I could leave you to it.

[saddenedsaint]

[His face becomes a little serious.] I was... resting.

[oliverplus]

[well, that's not exactly confidence-inspiring] What's going on?

[saddenedsaint]

I haven't been sleeping well.

[oliverplus]

[Oliver frowns. he doesn't tend to sleep well either, and he has a feeling there's more to those words than Saga is saying]

Do you know why?

[saddenedsaint]

[Hesitant at first.] I do know. And I never thought I would again.

[oliverplus]

[worriedly] Saga...? What do you mean?

[saddenedsaint]

[Takes his time to explain.] ... Have you ever had bad dreams about the things you've done?

[oliverplus]

[Oliver's eyes widen at the question. he was wondering if Saga's trouble sleeping was related to that, but somehow it's still startling to have it confirmed] ...yeah. [he swallow hard, finding his throat suddenly dry] Um...a lot, actually... You?

[saddenedsaint]

[Looks at him a little sheepish. Silence is more than obvious.]
