It happens to everyone - sometimes, you have nights where you just can't fall asleep, no matter what you do. It could be for a number of reasons, or no reason at all. And this is what's happened now: you've been laying in bed for what feels like hours, just tossing and turning, and nothing seems to help. So what's left to do? Get out of bed and go wake someone else up, of course. If you're not getting any sleep, then why should they?

o p t i o n s 01 • FEAR. Maybe you're hearing strange, indeterminable noises; maybe there's a severe storm happening outside; maybe you watched a scary movie before bed? Whatever the reason, you're terrified and it's keeping you awake. You just want to wake someone else up so they can protect you from the monster in your closet.
02 • HUNGER. Your stomach is growling and it just won't stop. Or perhaps your throat is so dry you could cough up a tumbleweed? Well, you've gone to the kitchen to remedy this and hey, that was a pan that just dropped on the floor. It was loud enough to wake the dead! Oops.
03 • PAIN. Your body is completely worn out, be it from exercise, battle, sickness, or what have you. Either way you're in enough pain to keep you from sleeping, so maybe someone else has a home remedy or something, or can at least help you take your mind off of it.
04 • SOLITUDE. For some reason, your bed just feels so empty at the moment. You're feeling terribly lonely and really just want someone to keep you company for a while. Maybe it'd be easier to fall asleep if you're with them...
05 • DISCOMFORT. Your room is an oven. Either that or a freezer. Or maybe this bed is just really uncomfortable? Who knows why you can't get to sleep, it feels like it could be anything. Why even bother trying? Maybe someone else can preoccupy you until you feel tired enough to ignore your discomfort.
06 • PENSIVE. Something's on your mind, and no matter how hard you try to focus elsewhere, it's just not going to work. Your body may be tired, but your mind is incredibly busy and it's virtually impossible to get to sleep. Surely, talking it out with someone else will help?
07 • SADNESS. Something terrible has happened that day, perhaps; or you could just be severely depressed. Either way you're trying your hardest not to cry yourself to sleep, and it's not working at all. Better find a way to get it out of your system somehow; you need a shoulder to cry on.
08 • ANGER. You are just... fuming. Who knows why - that annoying dog is barking again, or maybe the people next door are getting busy and keeping you awake. Whatever the reason for your ire is, you'd better put an end to it so you can get some damn rest already! Go wake up a friend so you can complain to them.
09 • RESTLESS. You're far too energetic to sleep right now. Maybe you're just trying to do so out of necessity - you have to be up early tomorrow! But you just don't think you'll be able to fall asleep for a while now, so why waste the time trying to sleep when you could be doing something else? Namely bothering someone else - you're totally jealous because they're getting more sleep than you.
10 • WILDCARD. Choose one of the options above, or make up your own scenario. |

it's left marks that haven't healed... But you're sleepless too? You've been through just as much, Dimitri. [he always seemed to insist on people abandoning the titles they were raised to use while in school...] Your pain should be seen too... Even if maybe just for tonight."

[He's always thought himself a good actor, not wanting to worry the others with his dark thoughts and memories. But right now...]
I suppose so. At least...I can talk to you about it. I don't want to burden my classmates, especially those hurt just as badly by the tragedy.

[He hopes that's somewhat comforting to him... Sometimes the darkness of others could be a burden, he understands that... But if it's a burden Minato can help Dimitri carry -- even if just a little -- he's happy to.]
[They enter the kitchens together. Tea might help them both now more than ever.]

[Dimitri locates his favorite chamomile tea leaves by their scent easily. Ever since losing his sense of taste his sense of smell is a lot stronger. He finds a pot already full of water.]
Do you like this blend? Or is there another one you prefer?

[Dimitri likes to try to remember his classmates' preferences, just in case.]
I'm not picky when it comes to tea, as long as it's warm enough.

Still... She was the one who taught him that family was what you made of it, and it was not your blood, but the people who deserved your company that made your true family... A kind of sentiment that made him a true member of the Kirijo house, and a sentiment Minato was comforted to be exposed to.]
Making tea was a quiet affair between them as the pot simmered and began to steam]
sorry this took forever
No prob, you good!

[It is just them in the dining hall, after all, a place usually populated by students and cooking staff. The quiet is abnormal, but not unwelcome.]
