Now and then, despite Tiara deciding not to wish for her own death, or want to sacrifice herself so she couldn't be used to revive the Vile God, she still had ... rough nights. They might still be trapped in another world for the time being, but there were people trying to find their way back, and she was always keeping her ear to the ground for hints herself. And..after having certain conversations with Fang, her nightmares had been kept at bay for quite some time.
Except tonight, when she woke in a cold sweat, her body trembling with a fear she couldn't define, and Cui curled up beside her, watching her anxiously. For a long moment, she sat up in her bed, trying to regain her composure, slow her breathing and remind herself that the Vile God was not revived, that she was ... sort of safe despite certain anti-mage groups going AWOL.
"Cuii..?" Cui uncurled from where he had been snuggled up at her side, to put a paw on her leg.
Tiara managed a slow smile, patting the fairy, "No I ... I am fine, Cui. It was just a dream...dreams cannot harm me." But they can keep her awake at night. They can make her wish she had someone to sit up with her ..for a little while. She shook her head. No, Fang was no doubt fast asleep and she couldn't wake him up. Her pride wouldn't allow it, for one. For another, he'd make fun of her for being frightened of dreams like a child, she felt.
So instead, she quietly got up. She could get dressed and go for a walk -- ah, but that would be risky wouldn't it? Still...
