023 [Event Action]

[Currently, the event is going on in full force, and Adell knows well and good he's affected by it.  But what he doesn't know is that thought bubbles can appear above your head even while you sleep.  Now, normally this would be a non-issue considering he normally doesn't nap and has his own room.  But a problem occurs; last night, he didn't get ( Read more... )

[Apartment's quiet today, leaving her room after ridding herself of her apron because she's not going out anymore today she happens upon the living room and... hello.

A napping Adell on the couch isn't something she often sees and the dream bubble over his head makes her roll her eyes.]

[Even in his dreams... Always my oddball of a son.]

[Mom is treated to a sequence of the Soaring Helldam flying through the air, returning back to base. It doesn't look too badly damaged, and he lands it successfully near the hangar and gets out. Without much hesitation, Adell just heads away from it towards his quarters.

But of course, who else does he run into on the way? The dream version of his Mom. ...Who honestly doesn't look too much different, compared to Adell, who's added at least a flight jacket to his look. ...Yes, she still has the third eye. And no, no one really thinks that's weird here.

"Well... you're back earlier than I expected." Mom quips, probably in that knowing tone Adell has heard so much. ...Of course, even if the dialogue is silent, the expression on her face says it all.

Adell folds his arms over his chest and returns her expression with a half-glare. "I really hope you didn't think I was going to lose in the second round of this tournament."]

[...isn't this familiar.

Mom's going to humor herself now, looking down from her spot with her hands on her hips, eyebrows raised.

This should be good.]

[Certainly in-character, he gets points for that.]

Zzzz...

[Mom just gives him a look like he's an idiot.

"Hell itself could open up in the middle of the tournament and it wouldn't deter you from winning. The second round is nothing." She puts her hands to her hips. "Honestly, I don't care even if you lose the tournament, Adell. You being a Defender of Earth would just encourage you to bring home more freaks."

Adell's expression quickly changes to exasperation. "We've been over that."

"...But I know that title is something you want. And I know you won't let anything stand in your way," Mom sighs, her three eyes closing all at once. "...But it's not the most important thing in the world." Adell doesn't respond, but instead watches his Mom quietly and intently. "...Adell, I want you to make me a promise."

"Huh?"

"Promise me. That no matter what happens, that you will come home alive."]

[Her face slackens gently at that and she tilts her head down, strands of hair brushing her cheeks.]

[...Here Adell's expression softens, and he smiles. "...I promise. And..."

Mom's expression softens too, but she's quick to cut him off with a matter of fact, but loving statement: "...You always keep your promises. I know. And I don't care if you don't keep any other promises... so long as you keep mine."]

[.....]

.....

[She folds her arms and covers her mouth with her hand, a smile spreading underneath. Ohoho, well, hahah. She laughs under her breath, cheeks flushing faintly in delight.

And then without a thought, she nudges the couch hard with her hip. Wake up, honey.]

[...That thought bubble promptly vanishes as Adell jerks awake.]

Bwuh?! What's going on?

[Smiling wiiiiiiiide, she leans over Adell with her arms crossed.]

If you have any love for your back, you'll go continue your nap in bed.

[Trust her, she's fallen asleep on there. Sometimes it hurts getting back.]

[And with that, he'll sit up and slowly shake his head while gently rubbing his eyes with his hand.]

Yeah. I didn't get much sleep last night. ...Besides, I shouldn't be napping anyway. That'll only cause more problems for tonight.

But... I think I was having a really strange dream, or something...
