::Closed RP for Mikami and Nny::

[waste_lock]

Nny had plenty of reasons to detest sleep. But lately there had been another one, a rather distressing one. A whole new set of experiences to spawn disorientingly vivid dreams. This was not helped by the fresh bite wounds circling his neck and the one on the base of his thumb. Proof that it actually had happened, at least once

Nny wasn't the only one to be suffering from dreams. Mikami had been having nightmares since Potions class, but tonight had been particularly bad. Usually he could get back to sleep again within fifteen minutes, which wasn't too disruptive to his sleep pattern, but after lying for half an hour trying not to feel the floor dissolving beneath him and sharp nails tearing into his skin, he'd accepted he was going to need some help. And it didn't feel right to disturb the house elves, this late.

He opened the door to the kitchen cautiously, wand raised, a beam of light still shining from the end.

The door opening wasn't expected, and Nny leapt to his feet, knocking over his chair in the process. A knife slid into his hand almost of its own accord.

"Why are you here? Who sent you?"

[righteous_pen]

Mikami flinched backward in shock. "Protego!" he shouted, casting the shield charm before his mind could consciously process what was happening. It was lucky for Nny that he'd been trained to defend himself rather than attack.

The first coherent reaction he had after that was at least it's not Karasu. Not that a knife-wielding maniac covered in bite marks was much better.

"No one sent me." He lowered his voice deliberately, to keep it from shaking. "I came to make tea."

[waste_lock]

"Tea?" He looked suspiciously at Mikami. Pronunciation issues aside, the word was a distinct reminder. And wasn't a bit late at night for most people to be drinking tea?

He ignored the shield charm. Spells weren't Nny's usual method of attack.

"Why?"

[righteous_pen]

"Because I can't sleep." He refrained from adding not that it's any of your business. Especially since now he was thinking, he'd remembered Shield Charms didn't help against knives.
