Kvothe hasn't been very relaxed lately, what with the mysterious figures in the corners of his vision and the sounds he can't explain, but he's trying to keep on as normally as he can. That of course, means that he can often be found in the library. As he moves through the stacks he abruptly starts and looks around. Seeing nobody he starts

Well, here's a voice that is real, and a very twitchy Bast, since a certain cloud of quiet footsteps have taken to following him and echoing his every sound.

"Kvothe?"

[the_bloodless]

He almost fully surpresses another startled twitch and focuses, it takes him longer than he thinks it should to deliberately calm his breathing and slow his heart rate. This voice though is very welcome, and though he summons up a thin smile and he turns toward where Bast's call came from he can't quite hide the fact that he'd been pretty well spooked. "Here, Bast."

He heads in his Reshi's direction and stops abruptly upon seeing his face, only to continue forward more quickly. "Reshi? What happened?"

[the_bloodless]

He tries to take a deep, calming breath without Bast taking much note of it. "It's nothing," he lies, and not entirely well either which is as unusual as the rest. "I'm fine, Bast."

The next morning, Kvothe wakes up a little more slowly than usual. He groggily opens one eye to look around, then looks down at Bast asleep against him. Then he smiles as he settles back and closes his eyes again. Morning can wait for once.

Bast wakes up a bit later, stretching languorously, and turns his head slightly to look at Kvothe. And can't keep a little grin off his face. Because - well.

[the_bloodless]

Kvothe opens his eyes a few moments later, alerted by Bast's shifting and stretching, to find Bast watching him. "Good morning."

[thetelltaleeyes]

"So it is." With a smile.
