So when would you sleep?

Harry has access to the clinic, he drugs me to sleep when I have my attacks. But that's not a long term solution, either.

[longitudinal]

You underestimate my ability to sleep any time, anywhere. ;) But you're right, it wouldn't be long term. It couldn't be.

Can you ask Harry? Maybe it will help him rest a little bit in the meantime and give us time to find what will work?

He needs to feel safe, but he needs rest, too.

[holyposition]

You should sleep at nighttime, too.

I don't like the idea of relying on opiates. But I have a pillowcase that I won, it makes you dream of the last person you were intimate with. So if we can get him to sleep in the first place, he can stay asleep.

I can ask Harry.

[longitudinal]

It would be temporary. Some sleep for now is better than nothing - even if it's just one night?

The pillowcase - that might be the trick if it really works? Does it help you sleep?

I'll sleep, I promise. But I won't sleep well until I know he's doing better.

[holyposition]

Alright. I invited him over to try it, but he hasnt answered. I think he's working at hex club right now.

I gave it to Harry, but he'll spare it for him. It does help. It keeps you dreaming nice things through the night.

It takes some time to feel safe again. Remember last year, when it was me? I flinched whenever someone touched my neck, for months. Even if it was Hawk, or you. I still do, if it's a surprise.

But he's not getting any help if he can't sleep normally, it'll only stress him out more.

[longitudinal]

I want to be there, if he does want to try it. I want him to know we're all there for him.

It will take time, you're right. I just wish there was more I could do. Or that I could have spared him from it.

But getting him to rest is a start.

[holyposition]

Four of us might be a tight squeeze, but maybe he'd like that. It's cozy.

Yeah. Me too. I keep thinking I should have gone harder on Armand in that first round, but we just didn't have the evidence.

[longitudinal]

I can take the foot of the bed. I'm told I'm quite warm.

And this place wants us to second guess ourselves. I don't think any of us could have done the right thing - we were set up for failure. So we just have to stick together when we can. That's the most important thing.

You and Koby. I will do everything I can to keep you both safe.

[holyposition]

[ and deprive tim of all those feet. interesting. ]

You are. We'll need it, it's getting cold out.

I think we all could have done better. Even if the odds were stacked against us. But it was tough.

I'm doing fine. Let's focus on Koby. He spends so much time taking care of the whole house, it's his turn.

[longitudinal]

We both know how well he'll take that. He deserves triple what he gives, but his stubbornness knows no bounds.

Thank you for telling me. For being there for him. For me.

[holyposition]

I know. But he just wants to make us happy, and what would make me happiest right now would be him taking better care of himself.

Any time, as always. 🙂
