[ Okay, this? This wasn't her room. As far as she knew, this wasn't even her home. Astharoshe growls in annoyance before turning over and noticing--

Oh, hell no. This had to be a nightmare or something like it. Because she doesn't know why else the stupid priest would be in her bed with her. She doesn't know

Cain --> Abel --> Astha (and maybe Rachel popping in at some point if she sees this?)

[Cain had taken to sleeping with Abel on a night, too frightened of waking up with him dead and gone to leave him alone even for a moment longer than he had to. Of course, this usually meant he was used as a buffer between Abel and his drone wife, not!Esther.

He had been huddled down right under the covers, so it's no wonder Astha didn't even see the small boy at first glance, but he's not staying there long. Sitting bolt upright with the shouting, he blinked around blearily.]

Wh--What?!

[custodismundi]

[ahh, ahhhh... Abel had been peacefully slumbering the morning away -- it's one of his favorite passtimes, you know, and a decent sleep bereft of nightmares is a very nice gift after all that nuclear nonsense--

and, let's be honest. Abel is no stranger to being screamed at. Caterina, Esther, or Astha -- his subconscious just sort've takes it into stride, and he's trying to shift a little closer to his little brother (who doubles as a rather adorable teddy bear, for your information).]

Mmmn. S'not morning, you're just... seeing things! S... so... [ZZZzzzzzz.]

[tigresses]

[ Well, one thing hasn't changed and that's Abel's idiocy. So, Astha takes a glance towards Cain and Abel before deciding to whap the silver-haired one with a pillow and it's rather hard. ]

Wake up and start explaining before I really get mad.

[ Ah, feels just like home doesn't it? ]]

[He's confused at being so thoroughly ignored so this woman can attack Abel (albeit with a pillow), and he has to assume it's because she is suspicious of the motives of the adult man in bed with her.

Sliding to the side to intercept that pillow, he raised his hands in a placating gesture.]

Ma'am, please calm down. I promise you're safe, I'll try and explain everything, but attacking won't help you.
