[a rather tired voice can be heard.]

I hope I’m not bothering anyone with this, but... do you know, if maybe, there’s a way to... um, get rid of a nightmare?

[though, it’s not exactly a nightmare that is troubling Ruca lately, but a rather... unpleasant memory

You're having nightmares? [Keywords so appropriate.]

[video]

[adreamminealone]

Yeah. But don't worry. They're only... nightmares. [but with the way he says it, you can be sure they're not only nightmares.]

[video]

[alma_karma]

... What do you have nightmares about?

[video]

[adreamminealone]

[now... that is something he doesn't really want to talk about. He sighs.]

...About... some very bad things.

[angryaffliction]

Simple. Don't sleep.

[adreamminealone]

...But I have to sleep sometimes.

[angryaffliction]

Then only sleep when you have to.

[Please don't listen to him Ruca.

[adreamminealone]

I don't really see how could that help.

[AUDIO]

[tothelastbreath]

Of course it's not a bother, Ruca. I just wish I had reliable advice to offer. Have you tried training or sparring? Any form of exercise, really, as long as it tires you out enough to sleep well. Dreams tend to leave you alone when you're in deep sleep.

[AUDIO]

[adreamminealone]

[training, sparring, exercises... he sighs.]

No, I haven't tried any of that...

[and it's not like he wants to do any of this, but... he doesn't really have any better ideas.]

[AUDIO]

[tothelastbreath]

[Nesreca also tends to narrow one's range of options quite a bit. There's a brief pause on Allen's end and when he speaks again, the volume of his voice fluctuates, as though he's looking away from his device and around his room.]

I may still have a packet or two of tea lying around, if you think that'll help.

[AUDIO]

[adreamminealone]

Y-you don't have to look... I'm already bothering you too much.

[his silent for a longer moment.]

Maybe I really should try training...

[he can't think of anyone he could possibly spar with. But maybe that's for the best...]

[Voice is a little groggy itself.]

You got any advice yet, Ruca?

voice;

[adreamminealone]

[he noticed.]

...Well, Alma said I should get some company and Allen said that I should try training or sparring.

[and leaving out what Alex said.]

[looseleafbook]

[A sleepy hum as Lavi tries to wake up more.] Both are good options, yeah? Sometimes one helps when the other doesn't. My door's open if you want company no matter the hour, Ruca.

voice;

[adreamminealone]

Thanks, but I... don't want to bother you...

[promisedlotus]

Physical exhaustion usually works.

[adreamminealone]

Allen said something like that, too...

[promisedlotus]

[gdit allen]

...It helps.

[adreamminealone]

Then I guess I should really try doing some training or something...

Thanks!
