How deeply are you sleeping or are you still awake?
A good friend told me you've been staying out so late
Soh was exhausted.A good friend told me you've been staying out so late
She’d been ferrying Breakers to and from Torchline, each sweep of the city taking more and more out of her, until at last she found herself quite without meaning to at Wildering House. She was alone, depressed, and tired, and she snuck into her room without announcing her presence, very much intending simply to take a nap and get back to work. She’d managed to make it to her room, halfway out of her clothes, and onto the plush, comfortable bed, and then she’d fallen unceremoniously to sleep.
And sleep she did, until she was rudely awakened by the sound of her door opening.
Probably a spirit, she thought, half-awake and ready to roll over and go back to sleep.
Just in time for an unknown voice to say, Oh, you’re a person!
Soh sat bolt upright in bed, eyes flying open to land on a young man she’d never seen before in her doorway. He had tousled brown hair and intense green eyes that seemed quite keen to take her in - and it was about that moment that Soh realized she’d fallen asleep on top of the covers, dressed in nothing but her most boring (but comfortable) bra and a set of underwear in a completely clashing color and pattern. Shrieking with surprise, discomfort, and, quite frankly, a fair bit of anger, she barely registered what he was saying (something about plaques?) and settled on, ”Oh my gods, did you even knock?”
Soh practically fell off the bed in her sudden lunge for clothes; she yanked on the tank top she’d been wearing earlier, covering the horrific scars across her abdomen and most of the burn that curled up her back in one fell swoop. Then, grabbing a pair of pajama pants strewn over the chair at the desk, she turned to glare at the intruder, perhaps hoping that if her bark was worse than her bite, he wouldn’t hurt her. ”Please tell me Flora did not make the house spirits corporeal?”
Be careful, oh, my darling, oh, be careful what it takes
