[Irial is sitting in the space of his open window, legs drawn up, sitting sideways and peering out at the mansion house across the lawn. After a minute or so, he hits the call button, speaking her name softly over the wind]

Isabelle.

[nolessthanseven]

[decidedly unable to sleep, much to her chagrin, she replies softly, slightly muffled into her pillow.]

You never called me back.

[gentle_cruelty]

No. [The dark faery agreed, his voice sounding polite in spite of the lack of explanation or apology given]

[nolessthanseven]

So? [despite his politeness, her tone was far from matching it - she was crisp and curt, irritated from her sleep being interrupted by that dream and the fact that apparently she wasn't quite good enough for him. Or so it came off, at least.]

[slantedcross]

Too many horror films?

[Youji isn't dismissing the possibility that this is simply a nightmare, but he's not dismissing the possibility that it isn't, either. Isabelle's too young for him, yes, but she's still a young girl and he hates the thought of her being distressed.]

[nolessthanseven]

[less distressed, and more irritated; either way, she regards him silently for a moment, wondering if she'll ever get used to people waking her up with phone calls in the middle of the night, then shrugs.]

I guess I've got my little brother to blame for that.

[slantedcross]

[Irritated is at least an improvement. Youji's tone is wry.]

That's good. Having someone to blame always helps me.

[nolessthanseven]

It'd be better if I could actually blame him for any of this. I haven't seen him in ages.

[highwarlockmb]

You OK, kiddo?

[nolessthanseven]

I guess so. Nothing more sleep can't solve.

[highwarlockmb]

Wasn't sleep part of the problem?

[nolessthanseven]

No problem cannot be solved by more sleep, Magnus.

[dungeongeek]

...That's ....

[nolessthanseven]

[she gives him a bit of a bland look, raising her eyebrows.]

...that's?

[dungeongeek]

[ Not like he truly remembers much of anything that ties into any of that but ... ]

....Nevermind.

[nolessthanseven]

Never mind?

Thanks for waking me up to say 'never mind'. [she smirks, half-bothered and half-amused.]

[bottleblueyes]

[He's awake and alert now.]

Izzy? Are you okay?

[nolessthanseven]

[if there's anything reassuring in this world, it's the sound of her brother's voice. She exhales, long and slow before replying.]

I guess so. Just a dream, right, Alec?
