Mathias jerked awake when Evon suddenly moved in bed. He opened his eyes a little and saw that she was terrified. And this was soon followed by her leaving the bed and rushing to the bathroom. There was only one thing he could think of that would cause such a reaction. A nightmare about her parents. At least, any other subject would probably not result in such a severe reaction.

He sighed, both wishing to stay in bed and wanting to go check on her. He decided on the latter as he would be able to sleep while she was troubled like this anyway. Sounds of someone throwing up came soon after, which only confirmed Mathias' thoughts. So he indeed got out of bed, and put on a bathrobe. Then he remained seated on the bed, waiting for Evon to return.
