...

Sleep was so nice.

She rarely got such peaceful sleep lately. Between learning and the others being so incredibly loud, a nice quiet night sleeping in the forest was such a luxury she was tempted to stay there for the next week. Sleep was the only reprieve she had from the constant hunger, anger, and...[i]want[/i] that plagued her. Maybe she'd have a nice dream. A dream that she was somewhere else, far away from here and away from these problems. It'd be a welcome dream, but lately sleep had been difficult to come by and keep.

It was always stirring. Yearning. [i]Hungry[/i]. Within a few seconds her consciousness was drifting off into sleep. Her breathing slowed as she welcomed the silence of the forest. Unfortunately, it was a short lived peace. A curious scent drifted by, her keen nose picking it up quite easily. It smelled so nice. Perhaps she should get up, see what it was, but she was already almost asleep and since when had her curiosity ever done her any good?

Her stomach rumbled. It was heading this way, wasn't it? The though made the idea of getting up and greeting whatever smelled this nice so much more tantalizing.

...no. No, bad thoughts. She couldn't let herself think that way. It would be easy enough to lose herself if she wasn't careful. Celia hugged the makeshift pillow tighter. If she just laid here and ignored everything like usual, it'd pass and she'd get her much wanted and needed sleep.

and then something slammed into her side. Or rather, someone tripped over her.

[i][color=00aeef]"Just wha-"[/color][/i]

They sounded annoyed. Yeah, well, join the club. Please do not shake the sleeping white-haired lady that might be a werecreature. She bites. And not and the fun ways.

[i][color=00aeef]"Hey! Please wake up! Are you alive? Please wake up! We need to move! He is getting closer!" 
[/color][/i]

well, she suddenly was wishing she was dead. She wouldn't have to deal with this persons shaking. That aside...he was getting closer? She had no idea who he or who this girl was, but she didn't particularly care. She just wanted to sleep and this lady was making it incredibly difficult to do that.

[i][color=00aeef]"GO AWAY! I DONT WANT TO HURT YOU!! I DID NOTHING AT ALL!! WHY DO YOU HATE ME SO MUCH!? EVEN IF I TRY TO HELP YOU ITS ALWAYS THE SAME!! I-I don't like to kill innocent people, but... I will defend myself! So please... go away... I don't want to hurt people without any motive."[/color] [/i]

Ow. Her poor ears. Now she was being so very, very, loud. That small bit of annoyance turned into a small twinge of anger. She gripped the leaves on the ground tightly, the defenseless flora easily crumpling under her grip as she breathed in and out, letting the anger pass. It was too tiring to remain angry for long but she was probably not going to be getting any sleep here at this rate so it wasn't something to get too upset about.

[color=silver]"so,"[/color] Interrupted by a yawn, Celia slowly pushed herself up to a sitting position. [color=silver]"...loud."[/color] She grumbled as unblinking, dull grey eyes fixed themselves upon Shai. She said nothing more, only looking at the odd creature in front of her with seeming nonchalance, not making any comments at all about her. She seemed distressed about something, though didn't she? It took her a few seconds to notice the magical defenses that had been formed around them.

...did she just get dragged into a fight or something?

...

[color=silver]"I dunno what's going on,"[/color] Her voice was dry and monotone. [color=silver]"But I was sleeping."[/color]

She really didn't want to fight anything. Fighting was tiring...
