Can't sleep, dreams will eat me ((Closed RP))
After months at Hogwarts, Claire was still upset that she hadn't left her dreams behind in her supposed death. Even in this netherworld of magic and mystery, the old dreams came back to haunt her whenever she closed her eyes. High above the planet, she was soaring, drifting through the air until something changed, and she was no longer floating, but dropping like a stone towards her inevitable doom.
The distractions of the castle made it easy to keep from sleeping, but sooner or later she always fell into a restless doze. Nick's Gatsby hadn't provided any of his decadent parties that she'd heard so much about, and even the chattering portraits ran out of things to say. Without her self-prescribed course of sleeping pills and stimulants, she couldn't push herself to the brink of collapse, then chemically numb her brain and body long enough to get in a few hours' rest. With no mortal and familiar means left to her, she turned to a magical solution to her troubles.
The owls frightened her, so she was at Reilly's door to ask him in person. She was too tired and nervous to be still. After she knocked she wrung her hands and fidgeted, then pounded on the door again before he could have a chance to answer.
