I do not wish to speak.

Is there something you would prefer to do?

[nurse_cchapel]

[She's contemplating leaving him sleep while she gets up and prepares something Vulcan for dinner when he starts to twitch. It wouldn't be noticeable in any other bedmate, but it is in him. Concerned, she brushes her hand over his face.] Spock?

[vulcan_mind]

[The hand on his face stops him from moving, but he emits a nearly imperceptible whimper, which wakes him. Suddenly his eyes open and he's looking up at Christine.]

[nurse_cchapel]

Hey... Is everything alright? [Shifts so she's leaning over him a bit more, covering more of his body with hers in the process.]

[vulcan_mind]

[Breathes out heavily, just looking up at her silently. After a few moments of staring, he closes his eyes again and turning his face.] I am fine.

[nurse_cchapel]

[Nudges her nose against his temple, needing to show she was still there for him.] No, you're not, but I'm not going to pry for information.

[vulcan_mind]

[Trying to regulate his breathing, he didn't say anything for a long moment after she spoke.] I will be fine. Unpleasant dreams are nothing I am unused to.

[nurse_cchapel]

Fair enough. [Presses her lips to his cheek, then settles in again around and behind him, molding her body to his, making a silent promise not to leave while he still needs her.]
