*If you find Len while she's asleep (on a random lawn, or perhaps a park bench) you'll find her turning in her sleep, visibly uncomfortable. She's sweating, groaning, and maybe even crying a little bit

[Arcueid happens upon poor Len while she's asleep in someone's yard. She stands over her, looking rather sketchy with that bandanna over her mouth.]

You really don't look like you're having a good time with that...

[Arcueid leans down to give Len a gentle shake, trying to wake her up from whatever nightmares she's obviously having.]

[strayquiet]

*Len is woken up very easily. She jumps awake just like someone would if they're just waking up from a nightmare.

She's now sitting up and breathing rather heavily.*

[makemebreakfast]

[Arcueid sits on her knees next to Len.]

Are you ok?

[strayquiet]

*She looks up at Arcueid for a couple of minutes.

And then you'll find her leaning into Arc's knees, crying. And maybe if you listen hard enough, you'll hear her say something.*

Don't die.

[makemebreakfast]

[Arcueid looks a bit shocked, but simply gently pets Len's hair and lets her cry. She heard the fact that she said something...but couldn't quite hear what...and decides to just leave it alone.]

What's the matter? Did something happen?

[strayquiet]

*Len knows it was a dream and nothing actually happened to Arcueid, so she shakes her head slightly.

Nothing happened, she knows that, so why is she still crying?*

[makemebreakfast]

[Arcueid simply keeps petting her hair.]

Well, it's okay now. Don't worry.

[strayquiet]

*Len looks up, rubs her eyes, and gives a small nod.*

[makemebreakfast]

...You don't look too good. I mean, besides the crying. What's wrong?

[strayquiet]

*She looks rather confused. It's not like she's looked in the mirror lately.*

[makemebreakfast]

[Arcueid reaches down with her hand and takes Len by the chin, turning her head this way and that to examine her face.]

It looks like you haven't been sleeping at all...and you look even more pale than usual.

[strayquiet]

*That sounds about right. Everytime Len tries to sleep she has some kind of nightmare.

She nods to show she hasn't been getting much sleep.*

[makemebreakfast]

Well...why aren't you sleeping?

[Arcueid seems to insist on asking questions as if Len is going to vocally answer.]

[strayquiet]

*Len just stares as if Arcueid should know the answer to that.

She's not going to say anything again, that's for sure.*

[makemebreakfast]

[It's odd that she didn't notice right away, but Arcuied's face suddenly grows just a bit angry.]

Where did you get that black eye?

[strayquiet]

*Len has no way to tell Arc about Reimu...

... other than making a box with her hands and pretending to put money in it.*
