Room #13, Main Dorm [Saturday, Early Morning]

[ihatefrills]

Creepy whispers and eerie visions, not exactly conducive to a good nights sleep. Which meant Cassie was up unreasonably early standing by the window and fiddling restlessly with her necklace.

She eyed the canari on the sill warily for a long moment. Some days she had trouble remembering why on earth she'd even brought the thing along with her in

Thelma peeked over from where she had been previously asleep on her bed.

"Cassie?"

[ihatefrills]

Not realising Thelma was actually awake, Cassie jumped. A little on edge? Never.

"What?"

[inshiningarmour]

"What are you doing?" Thelma said, blearily.

[ihatefrills]

"Nothing," Cassie replied quickly. Some might say, guiltily. "It's fine."

[inshiningarmour]

"Doesn't sound like nothing," Thelma said. "Cassie, what's wrong?"

[ihatefrills]

"Nothing, Thelma," she repeated firmly. "I told you, it's nothing." Yes, because refusing to talk about it had worked out so well for her before...

[inshiningarmour]

"Okay," Thelma said, not wanting to press too much. "You should probably head back to bed, though."

[ihatefrills]

Cassie sighed, and glanced over at her clock. "Right. You're not a morning person. I'm wandering around, disturbing you, I get it."

[inshiningarmour]

"Well, no," Thelma said. "I just... I'm worried."

[ihatefrills]

"And worried means I should go to bed?" Cassie asked skeptically, as she walked purposefully back over to her own side of the room.

[inshiningarmour]

"...what time is it?" Thelma asked, rubbing her eyes.

[ihatefrills]

Cassie chewed on her lip, checking the clock again, just to be sure. "The time still has a 6 on the front," she admitted.

[inshiningarmour]

"That's quite early for a Saturday," Thelma said. "You sure you're okay?"

[ihatefrills]

"Restless," Cassie replied. "But I'm sure it's nothing to worry about." She really hoped it wasn't anything to worry about, anyway.

[inshiningarmour]

"Come here for a cuddle, then," Thelma said, shifting in her bed. "Just to calm you down."

[ihatefrills]

Cassie smiled hesitantly, before making her way over and settling beside Thelma and going to slip an arm around the other girl's back. "Thanks," she said.
