Alistair was used to having nightmares, but not like this. He moved into the Roadhouse sluggishly, dark circles below his eyes. He'd been up for days, only dozing off momentarily here and there. The first few days he'd been running off of adrenaline, but that was long gone at this point.

He slumped onto a barstool, forcing a smile in Ellen's direction.

"...Evening."

Ellen mustered a faint, hollow sort of smile for Alistair. She poured him a cup of strong, dark coffee and slid the mug across the bar with only a faint tremor.

"How're you holdin up Alistair?"

"I'm alive." he replied, taking a sip of the coffee. He cringed slightly, it was bitter, not something he was used to.

"How are you?"

She snorted and slid the sugar over. "Coffee. It'll help try and keep you up." There was no need to ask about the nightmares or how he was faring. The answer was clearly written on his face. He was as exhausted and worn as the rest of them.

Ellen flexed her hand slowly. "Hanging on. What about the rest of your people?"

Taking the sugar, he added a few scoops to his coffee. His eyebrows raised in response to her question and he let out a sigh.

"Well, Cousland's in bad shape. She doesn't sleep anyway, but it's like she's daydreaming... and she won't accept my help. I tried to bring her here."

He shook his head, and took another taste of his coffee, much better when sweet. "Not sure what to do."

She nodded, knowing exactly what it was like to have stubborn family in a crisis. "Sometimes all we can do is let them work it out alone. As much as we want to help, they have to let us do it in the first place."

"We'll ride it out in the meantime. Like we always do."

He nodded, it wasn't what he wanted to hear, but it was true.

"I think once this is over I will need to sleep for a week straight."

Ellen chuckled and leaned against the bar. "I think we all will. For at least that long."
