[Coming home for the day, he caught this dream before entering the Dusk. He enters quietly, catching sight of Rise sleeping on the couch. He shuts the door softly and steps over to her, taking a thin blanket off the back of the couch and laying it across her.]
[Rise moves beneath the blanket to rest on her back, her head still resting on one of the cushions. She stirs slightly but not enough to wake her from her slumber.
Sam, not too far off, moves from her spot towards Akihiko. Nudging at his hand with her nose, she lets out a whine as she turns to look at Rise.]
[Sam just looks up at Akihiko, panting while her tongue falls to the side of her mouth. Unfortunately Sam doesn't understand the word nap and still wants to play. With that, she lets out a loud bark which causes Rise to stir once more.]
[Even if Sam quiets her barks down to a whimper, the damage had already been done. It didn't take long until Rise brings a hand up to her face to rub the sleep out of her system, blearily making out Akihiko's figure through half-lidded eyes. She yawns just barely covering it with her other hand before speaking.]
Huh-?! [Akihiko is quick to turn his head to the couch, his brow furrowing as he sees Rise's been disturbed. He gives her a bit of an apologetic smile, his hand moving from Sam's snout to the dog's ears, giving her a bit of a scratch behind them.]
S-sorry, Rise. Sam got a little excited when I got home... I'll take her outside - you can go back to sleep, don't worry.
No, it's okay. I think I've slept long enough anyway.
[Rise blinks a few times until her eyes finally focus better. She shakes her head, sitting up on the couch while the blanket still hangs on her shoulder.]
No. Well, maybe for about-- [She reaches for the Dreamberry on the table to check the time.] --an hour? I guess I kinda dozed off while I was reading.
[Yep, the magazine she's was reading lays discarded on the floor. Instead of making a move to pick it up, she pats the empty space beside her as an invitation for Akihiko to join her on the couch.]
[She adjusts the blanket around her shoulders before moving closer and wrapping her arms around Akihiko's. Looks like the AC is making things a little too chilly again.]
I bet it does, especially if you're sitting in your chair all day. Unless you're getting some action outside of the station.

[He pauses for a moment, blinking a bit]
Have... You been asleep the whole time?

[He takes the cue and takes a seat on the couch next to her, leaning over to pick her magazine up off the floor and placing it on the table.]
