[ A sympathetic wince. ]

Yeah, no good in that case. Nightmares are ... the worst.

[othellovonryan]

They are. Why can't my mind just process everything while I'm awake? It has enough power to do that.

[pyrighteous]

That would be too easy, I guess.

[othellovonryan]

[He sighs.]

It would be. Unfortunately.

[A pause.] Do you often have nightmares?

[pyrighteous]

[ He nods. ]

I don't sleep much either. Because of them.

[othellovonryan]

You can always come hang out with me if you can't sleep.

I'm usually working on something if I'm awake, but I'm used to the occasional company. Or the company sleeping on me while I work.

[Leo doesn't sleep much either.]

[For different reasons.]

[pyrighteous]

[ Hunter considers that. ]

Okay. Yeah. I ... might do that, actually.

[othellovonryan]

Just text me. There is an ninety-five percent chance I'll notice my phone.

[And very little on any knocking of doors.]

[Honestly, he's not even used to Having A Door, so there is no preparation to notice it.]

Otherwise just come through the window.

[pyrighteous]

I'll try the texting first. Don't want your team to get freaked out by someone floating outside your window.

[othellovonryan]

I'm not sure why. I can defend myself.

[Listen, he hasn't connected that they would be as concerned as he would be if he saw someone hovering outside their windows.]

[pyrighteous]

It's not THAT. Just - you know, the surprise of it.

[othellovonryan]

[Math lady meme.]

Surprises can be unpleasant, I suppose.

[pyrighteous]

Exactly. I don’t want to scare anyone by accident when I can just text you.

[othellovonryan]

I guess that's fair.

I just find windows convenient. [Also doors were a rarity in his home life.]

[pyrighteous]

[ SHRUGS ]

No, I get it. Especially since we can both fly.

[othellovonryan]

Exactly. Climbing too. So much less awkward then walking through the whole place.

[pyrighteous]

… Wait, really? Is walking hard?

[othellovonryan]

It means maybe having to talk to people when I just want the one person.

[pyrighteous]

Ah. Yeah. I get that.

[othellovonryan]

Yeah.

Especially when visitation involves any emotions. People are nosy.

[pyrighteous]

Well - I guess I'll figure that out if I need to come over.

For now, you're here.

[othellovonryan]

[He nods.] I am.

It's helped.

[pyrighteous]

Good. Um. Should I stay like this?

[othellovonryan]

This works.

As long as your arm isn't falling asleep.

[pyrighteous]

No, it's fine. You should sleep though.

[ Flapjack peeps agreement. ]
