It was all so clear. Despite everything around her being dark, blending into the night, the scene before her was vivid, almost as if surrounded by an unearthly glow to highlight it in the blackness. Yes it was right in front of her, and yet she could do nothing but stare; the scream of panic, a body falling to the floor, the glint of a blade as it

Lifting her head, she blinked a moment, his question rather odd, but not unwarranted really. It was a bit unusual to simply stand in the hall rather than stay in her room. In the hotel, it was like there was much in the way of fresh air due to the aphrodisiacs that were being pumped in, but the open space did feel a bit less suffocating for her.
"Not particulary. I just...don't feel like going back to sleep right now." she sighed, running a hand through her hair absentmindedly. "I take it you have a similar problem?" she enquired, leaving it open for him to give as little or as much detail as he wished. She didn't want to pry after all.

Nodding in understanding, though deciding to be polite and not quiz him on a foodstuff she hadn't heard of before, Amelia pondering over the idea a moment before answering. "Well, truthfully I'm awake for a different reason, but thank you anyway. It's more of a personal choice, my staying awake." she replied. It was nice of him to offer, but she was a horrible liar, and doubted she could bring herself to eat with the scene from her dream still fresh in her mind. Of course, she still wanted to be polite about her decline, smiling softly at him.

"Oh...yes, I'm fine." she replied, rubbing her eyes a little, which were already starting to show telltale signs of dark circles under them. "Don't worry, I just couldn't sleep, that's all." she shrugged, attempting to shrug off the lingering worries. She had to wonder if the stranger before her had the same problem, but didn't want to be rude in prying about it.

It was that thought that made him stay rather than walk onward. It was more likely she was more like X, even in just looking at her.
Zero hesitated a moment, then walked across the hall and occupied the wallspace beside Amelia and said, "You're hardly 'fine'. Did you need to talk about anything?"

Eventually, she did lift her head wearily, biting on her lip. "It was just a bad dream, that's all. I'm probably just overreacting, I'm sorry for disturbing you." she replied, running her fingers through her hair.

Today, his patrol happened to take him by the door of Amelia's room. While Flynn would never dream of disturbing her this late, he was pinged by seeing her leave her room dressed in only a nightie.
"Amelia?" Flynn asked, concern evident in his voice. "Are you alright?"

"Sir Flynn..." she droned, before apparently awakening fully, shaking her head lightly as she tried to make her appearance less dishevelled. "Yes, I'm alright. Just having trouble sleeping." she waved a hand in dismissal, not to be callous, but simply to show he didn't need to worry. It wasn't a complete lie, which was alright, since the princess couldn't lie to save herself without being obvious. Hopefully, she would be able to prevent the knight fretting; the last thing she wished to do was burden someone else with her silly paranoia.

"Are you certain?" Flynn asked, immediately feeling guilty for pursuing something his conversation partner clearly did not. "Forgive me for prying, but it's dangerous to be outside your room wearing so little."
The unspoken message was, and it take more than trouble sleeping to bring one outside.

"Oh don't worry, I'm not defenceless you know. I can handle anyone who gets any wrong ideas." she insisted, nervously trying to laugh off any concerns to try and show she was alright. Even so, she still hugged her arms around her form a bit tighter as she spoke, trying to suppress shivering.

Those were generally intense emotions, and for one that had blessed them to the world, it was natural that the sprite make her way over to see if she could offer some way to help ease things, if only for a while; the hotel returned her to looking quite expectant, so she didn't want to be away from her own room for too long. Oh well, the elevator down that other hall would still have to wait some time for her to take a ride.
"E-excuse me..." After bringing herself closer, the emotions were much stronger; despite this, Mesprit spoke softly so as not to scare her away. "Do you need some help?"

"Well...yes and no." she mumbled, trying to straighten out her appearance before speaking properly to the young woman, offering a polite smile as she tried to disperse her lingering melancholy. "I'm having trouble getting back to sleep, but not much can be done about something like that." she replied.
Why she had been so open in her admittance she wasn't sure. Perhaps it was just that honest expression, the sincerity in wanting to help. Whatever it was, Amelia felt bad for wasting Mesprits time nonetheless. "I'm sorry for delaying you. You don't need to worry about me, honest."
[ooc: Not at all, I welcome it. <3]

The sprite knew that she just admitted her ability to sense feelings, but there was something else about Amelia that she noticed too. Perhaps it was that power that also drew the Guardian to her...? But for now, comforting someone that was feeling sad was more important.
[OOC: Awesome...!]

It seemed that dancing around the matter would do no good, and Amelia knew how bad she was at lying, might as well be honest in the hope that it would help. After all, how could she deny the other when she looked so desperate to assist?
"I've been having bad dreams, I just...don't want to go back to sleep right now. I don't want to dream about those things again." she murmured, shaking slightly as she spoke.

While she still often held doubts on receiving those sort of compliments, her face tinted pink all the same. At least he was trying to be nice. Thus, she gently plucked the rose from his hand, offering a tired by sincere smile.
"Thank you, though you don't need to flatter me like that." she replied with a soft shake of her head, inhaling the scent from the bloom as she kept her gaze on the stranger. It did make her forget, at least for a little while.

Poor guy didn't like seeing the girls so sad or hurt. He was not surprised by the blush though, but kept his expression neutral with a smile. Especially when she had accepted the rose he offered for her.
Loke looked to the girl and then said, "I am glad to make you smile, even just a little. Though, you are much more beautiful with a smile, you should keep it." Loke spoke nothing but the truth when it came to his flirting or even talking in general. "My name is Leo. May I know your name?"

Twirling the stem in between her fingers, she shook her head lightly, only giving a slight nod in recognition of the new compliment. She simply wished to maintain some modesty, though did naturally answer when he started the introductions.
"Amelia, it's nice to meet you. And thank you, I'm sorry if I distracted you from where you were going." she said politely.
