NERON
show me how defenceless you really are
"An annoying waste of time," Neron repeats, scoffing into the pillow and shaking his head. "If you thought that ruling the Citadel was bad, wait until you need to wake up for night feeds, and all that?" Raising his eyebrows, he can't wipe the smile off his face, though it remains half-hidden in the pillows. "There are plenty of actual orphans in Halo, if you were really feeling maternal," he says. "And most of them are beyond the squalling-at-night phase."
Relaxing further into the bed, Neron scrunches his nose at her. "I'm sure they will," he says. "And I do all my best thinking when you are asleep. You learn to be very patient, as an Ascended," he says quietly, accepting the small and affectionate touch and letting his eyes close, even if there will be no rest to follow. (Not in the traditional sense, anyway). "Good night, Morgan."
