[ It's a very, very exhausted Xion who is now finally home safe and in bed after a long day. Being returned from a death penalty removal only to end up in a vicious fight with your once boyfriend can take a lot out of a girl

[Oh, hey, person-that-he-knows. What an interesting question to throw out there-and of course one that will always automatically scream 'I'm having problems', whether Xion likes it or not; but Wolfwood grins and sinks into his couch cushions.]

I like reading, if I can't sleep. I used to just mope around and drive myself crazy with the quiet, but-I've started to notice that isn't the funnest route to take.

[his smile creases even more]

... besides, it's pretty damn easy to get to sleep if you're reading something boring.

[ oh hey there Nicholas why so judgy. couldn't she just have insomnia )8 doesn't that happen to normal people sometimes??? gosh.

but she smiles to see him. Wolfwood is one of those people she always gets along with, no matter how bad she's feeling. case in point: what he says makes her laugh, albeit quietly. ]

Something like what, though? The dictionary? That's pretty boring.

[That's because Wolfwood, despite his occasional angst and horrible moral dilemmas, can be a pretty chill dude. I know, it's shocking!

also omgsiiiiiigh at your response, Xion-]

The dictionary? Young lady, are you trying to knock yourself out only after a few seconds? Heck, I think all you have to do is read the cover and you're out like a light!

[ sdaglkjsad what. what. the way he's addressing her makes her start giggling pretty much immediately. ]

Hey! You said boring, that was the most boring thing I could think of! [ a beat ] Besides, I've actually done that before... [ read the dictionary. Xion: secretly a nerd. ]

You have? Damn, talk about a strong will to stay awake, if you can handle that sort of thing. Personally, I haven't really started reading much of anything until I got here. I guess that's one thing I can count as a plus, here.

Well, there were sort of ... special circumstances, I guess. [ a laugh. being still very young -- not even a year old -- and very confused about this new world and all the new things it presented would lead one to look for answers. ] I haven't read the whole thing, though! It's just too much information. I like fantasy stuff a lot more ... like fairy tales!

Re: [Filtered]

[not_a_bluesbro]

Heh, admittedly, I haven't read any fantasy before... But I can imagine it's a little more exciting than a dictionary.

[Teasing, teasing~]

[ you, sir, are terrible. ] Oh, be quiet! [ nyeh, sticking her tongue out. ] It is, though. I could lend you my book of fairy tales if you'd like! Especially if you've never read fantasy before... it's fun, you should try it!

Re: [Filtered]

[not_a_bluesbro]

Hmm... I guess it wouldn't be so bad, to try out fantasy novels. After all, it's not like I have anywhere I should be heading, right?

[Either it's the most fantastic thing about Luceti, or the most numbing thing. Hard to say which.]

Well... I'm not sure I could make it out tonight. [ eh heh... considering. ] I'd probably have to lend it to you in a few days, if that's okay... Unless you'd want to come pick it up.

Re: [Filtered]

[not_a_bluesbro]

Oh, I don't mind waiting a few days-like I said, nowhere I should be heading!

...

Just take good care of yourself, Xion. If you can't sleep over something, for whatever reason, give someone you really trust a good talking to, all right?
