Re: night 77, dream time

[abandon_hope]

Yeah. And the fact that it sounds like fighting about it wouldn’t help is making me want to fight them more.

Re: night 77, dream time

[spinebuddyandme]

[ laughs ]

It definitely wouldn't change anything, but it'd be funny to see anyway.

Re: night 77, dream time

[abandon_hope]

Me versus the Justice League?

Re: night 77, dream time

[spinebuddyandme]

Maybe just one of them at a time. All of them at once would be overkill for anyone.

Re: night 77, dream time

[abandon_hope]

I’ll keep that in mind if I ever get the chance to fight them.

[ The change in topic is helpful; he relaxes a bit. ]

It’s… just nice knowing someone would fight for me, if they could.

Re: night 77, dream time

[spinebuddyandme]

Yeah... We will fight for you as long as you're here.

[ he surges suddenly to cling tightly to Ananke again. ]

Re: night 77, dream time

[spinebuddyandme]

[ Turns toward him so he can wrap him in another crushing hug ]

Re: night 77, dream time

[abandon_hope]

[ is it time to cry again? Time to cry just a little, as a treat. ]

Lily's the best thing that's ever happened to me.

Re: night 77, dream time

[spinebuddyandme]

[ Rubs his back soothingly ]

... You deserved so much more sooner, but I'm glad we get to take care of you now.

Re: night 77, dream time

[abandon_hope]

[ A shaky little nod. ]

Sorry for repaying you by - by dragging you into that.

Re: night 77, dream time

[spinebuddyandme]

You can't control what you dream about.

Re: night 77, dream time

[abandon_hope]

No, but I can -

[ Not sleep, he almost says. ]

... Lethe says he can make sure my sleep is dreamless. I figured I could ask him every other night.

Re: night 77, dream time

[spinebuddyandme]

Daisy recommended some tea that's supposed to help make your dreams calmer. I could make extra for you on the nights Lethe isn't helping out.

Re: night 77, dream time

[abandon_hope]

I could try that. Yeah.

[ a pause. ]

I also don't need as much sleep as other people.

Re: night 77, dream time

[spinebuddyandme]

Really? Then how much do you need?

Re: night 77, dream time

[abandon_hope]

[ a faint shrug. ]

I can go every other night without sleeping if I want.

Re: night 77, dream time

[spinebuddyandme]

And that doesn't have any, like, side effects?

Re: night 77, dream time

[abandon_hope]

... I mean, if we have enough going on, I'll fall asleep anyway. And not get to Lethe in time.

[ hence tonight. ]

Re: night 77, dream time

[spinebuddyandme]

That could happen to anyone who gets overworked, so I guess there's really nothing to worry about. Especially if it lets you get some real rest.

Re: night 77, dream time

[abandon_hope]

[ He nods at that, leaning a bit more. ]

I just - I can't sleep without help. Or this is going to keep happening.

Re: night 77, dream time

[spinebuddyandme]

Mm. It sounds like you and Lethe have it under control, but I'm always here if it ever isn't enough.

Re: night 77, dream time

[abandon_hope]

...

Do I just - find you and ask?

Re: night 77, dream time

[spinebuddyandme]

Yeah. Or you can just cubecall me. Way easier than trying to figure out where I am.

-- I keep forgetting we have something like cell phones here.
