wake up, wake up

wake up, wake up, it's only a bad dream meme

bad dreams are ordeals, sometimes seemingly endless. when you wake up, your heart pounds, your head hurts, and you end up drenched in sweat. even if you know none of it was real, it takes a while to orient yourself.

it is pretty nice to have someone there to wake you up or to soothe you out of it and remind you that...


it's only a dream.


the usual rules apply. post with your character and preferences and then tag around, have your characters comfort others.

This time the answer comes faster, although it starts as a little hum and a nod. They're strong, all of them, even and maybe especially her. "You're strong." He echoes, and 'mm's again, and his lips quirk in a wry and fleeting little smile. "I'm not." Because that's the other part of the equation, and he'd be lying if he denied that scares him too. If he doesn't somehow break this place, there's a possibility it just might break him. He knows the fragility of his own mind, and he's grown used to it, but he does wonder when something will come along that makes a final crack and simply shatters him into pieces.

Max's gaze drops away from her face quickly, avoiding whatever he might see there, and he amends it carefully, struggling for the words. "Can't... stay. Can't. But I could.... mmm. Maybe... go and come back?"
