Shelley squeezes her eyes tighter shut in confusion as to what had jostled her out of sleep. It takes her a moment - her head hurts dimly, and her thoughts are hazy, what-?

"...Bad dream?"

Elan nodded faintly and turned towards her. Taking a deep breath, he untwisted himself from the sheets, and spoke softly to her. His voice rough and quavering slightly.

"Something like that, yes."
