It might be... I don't remember it being hard to sleep the last time I was sick. And I've had nightmares I can't remember before, but never all the time like this.
[ Mary groans a little, sagging more against Roxas' shoulder. ]
[ Mary tries to think this through properly, but with her head pounding like it is, she can't really come up with a good or comforting explanation for that sort of thing. ]
That happened here, once... except the person whose memories you dreamed about also dreamed about yours.
[it's fine that she doesn't get it. he mostly does now, even if he's not really keen on accepting it. but that can be something that gets dealt with another time. it doesn't seem all that necessary at the moment.]
That sounds pretty weird... [he makes a face, but then he adds:] I guess "weird" is pretty normal around here, though.
Mm-hm. [ It's more hummed than an actual word of agreement, but then Mary will add, fondly, in the way that she does when she's truly used to a friendship: ]
[ Okay, she can't lose this. She's completely normal! She's... not human, but that's not normal. Her hair is long? Is that normal?? Kido had long hair, but Momo didn't... no! She has to come up with something good! Something that'll decide her victory instantly! ]
[ That's the same for everyone then, isn't it? She wants to ask, but somehow... it's a nice feeling, being special because her eyes were hers.
Or something like that, her mind's not quite cooperating. But she lifts her head a little, just to peer at him for a few seconds-- and then lowers it back against his shoulder. ]
I guess that's like you, then... I really like your eyes too, Roxas.

I hope that means it'll stop when we get better.
no subject
Yeah... I hope so too. It's hard to get sleep at all this way.
no subject
We've gotta keep trying, though... otherwise we're not going to sleep at all, and that's even worse.
[ So she's been told. A few times now. ]
no subject
[it's not for a lack of trying, at least. he hasn't let the nightmares stop him from trying to sleep, after all.]
no subject
[ Because she used to share a bed with her mom. ]
no subject
[the dreams themselves, at least. they're startling when he's woken from them, but it's pretty short-lived so he hasn't really thought about it much.]
no subject
[ Well, she's not wrong. ]
no subject
no subject
[ He's not still having them if they were, hopefully, but there's a note of concern in her... still raspy voice. ]
no subject
[because they were sora's obviously. but he's still pretty unwilling to cope with it, so whatever.]

[ That hadn't ended well. ]

That sounds pretty weird... [he makes a face, but then he adds:] I guess "weird" is pretty normal around here, though.
no subject
You're pretty weird too, Roxas.
no subject
[two can play at that game. he may be sick, but he's still got a sense of humor.]
no subject
There's nothing weird about me, right?
no subject
[he taps his shoulder against hers lightly. she's probably more normal than him?? but it's not like he can compare. so whatever!!]

no subject
[ MARY THAT'S NOT NORMAL. ]
no subject
[he doesn't know a lot of people with pink eyes.]
no subject
[ One... other person...
But she looks so proud of herself?? ]
1/2
[he scrunches his nose, and...] I think I know more people with gold eyes than pink ones.
no subject
It's okay if they're not normal though. They're yours, so maybe it's better that way. [it's not like weird has to be a bad thing, right?]
no subject
[ Wait. ]
Ah, then I'm losing...
no subject
which fails, but at least it's not a long fit.]
I think so. They're yours... they're not anyone else's. I think that's pretty good, to have something like that.
no subject
