A break!

"Sonlath...umm...Thank you. I don't know what I would have done if I had a dream, without anyone to cry to...it's just so painful for me..." She blushed again, and looked away, blinking away some tears.

Enelya looked sadly to Archimedes, who kissed her softly on the neck, where he was standing. She didn't know if she wanted to go back to sleep, or stay up. Having another nightmare scared her. But she decided to think of joyous things, and closed her eyes. Nightmares seemed to leave her alone.. for now.

Enelya felt the couch move, and being a light sleeper, she gently opened her eyes, catching Sonlath in her view. She gave him a weak smile, sat up, and rubbed her eyes. "I need to go outside..." She walked outside, found a tree, and waved her arm. The limb came down, and she sat on it, waving her arm again, making the limb bring up high up into the tree. She looked out, so startled from the nightmare.

Sitting in the tree was quiet. Archimedes climbed to the top of her head and sighed.

"Archie...these nightmares need to stop... I don't know how long I'll be able to handle them. Gosh... it's so embarrassing to break into tears like that in front of someone I barely know..."

Archie nodded, patting the top of her head, where he sat. "I know they do. I just wish... I was there with you that day... I have so much guilt because I was with my brother, instead of you, when you needed me."

Enelya shook her head lightly, "No, he needed you, I did too, but he's family. Besides its in the past, and you can't change it... I just want these nightmares to end... I don't really care what happened, I just want the nightmares to end..."

Archie stroked the small place his tiny lizard hand was able to stroke, and gave her a small kiss on the head. "I'm just glad you survived."

Enelya sighed, and made the tree sway, rocking her lightly, calming her down from the night before. She closed her eyes, and Archimedes sang a low lizard lullabye, and Enelya hummed lightly.
