[ it's never safe. i could be britting and this is actually a skin-stealing monster again.

but probably not, because kate stops to look at him and... there's a soft, stifled laugh. ]

... You didn't stay here all night, did you?

[flameguard]

[ i dont want to think about the logistics of a skin stealing monster with kate actually

wow he is knocked OUT asleep. also snoring very quietly. you would think that a knight would have a better danger sense... or maybe just kate feels very safe?? who knows. either way her voice is soft so he is still asleep. goodnight sweet golden retriever ]

[sootprints]

[ it's true it is soft.

she will try to gently slide the book out from under him so he doesn't drool all over it. ]

[flameguard]

[ this motion finally gets him to stir - he snorts, again much like a dog - and then blinks awake. he's got big, dark circles under his eyes. ]

....

[ squinting blearily... ]

Miss... Kate? Wh... [ what year is it ]

[sootprints]

Oh. I'm sorry for waking you.

Were you here reading all night?

[flameguard]

[ ooogh. he rubs his eyes as he comes back to reality. was he here all night. ]

....Mm... no... No, I... must've just dozed off. [ wild. rondo smiles, though, warm if not tired, sheepish. ] I guess that book must've lost my interest.... how embarrassing...

Thank you for waking me up...

[sootprints]

[ gently rubs his back. ]

It's important to get a proper night's sleep. Especially on days like this.

[ it is thursday. ]

[flameguard]

[ sweet kate you are so good. he laughs a little bit, hand to his heart. ]

Believe me, I tried... I just had the strangest dream last night. I woke up from it in a start while it was still dark out, and wasn't able to get back to sleep afterwards.

[sootprints]

A strange dream?

What was it about?

[flameguard]

[





looks into the camera like this is the office ]

.... Um... nothing you want to hear about.... trust me. Just... rest assured it was very strange.

[sootprints]

Oh... so it was something intimate, then.

[flameguard]

[ KATE YOU'RE TWELVE

HIS ENTIRE FACE GOES RED ]

No! [ squeaks ] No, no, it wasn't - it wasn't like that! It was just - strange, I think maybe my subconscious was stuck on the debate game yesterday? But it was more.... bizarre.... than...anything like that.....

[sootprints]

[ she just laughs softly at his reaction. ]

Oh... I see.

... I am curious, though. There was someone else who mentioned having a strange dream last week. I wondered if there was some special meaning to it.

[flameguard]

...really...?

[ he's not alone in whatever that nightmare was..... ] Maybe... I think I'd almost feel better about it if it was some kind of curse or something...

[sootprints]

So what was it about?

[flameguard]

[ KATE ]


Nooooo......

[sootprints]

But what if it turns out to be an important clue?

[flameguard]

I don't think - I don't think a wedding is an important clue........

[sootprints]

Whose wedding!?

[flameguard]

[ mumbles ]

[sootprints]

[ leaning in. tugging on his sleeve to pull herself closer. straining her shadowy little ears. ]

Who?

[flameguard]

[ well i havent done anything with this all week so the compulsion to blurt out secrets kicks in and its: ]

IhadaweirddreamthatmeandMarinaweregettingmarriedbuthtenwehadtodosomethingweirdtoactuallygetmarriedandthenIwokeup!

[sootprints]

[ a scandalized gasp! ]

[flameguard]

[ ALSO GASPS

WHY IS HE SURPRISED ]

-- You, you, you can't tell anyone, don't tell anyone!

[sootprints]

[ pats his arm. ]

It was just a dream. It's nothing to be embarrassed about.
