Shiki's eyes wavered and he looked uncertain. His shivering body rolled so he was lying on his back, "...Sandra...?" He asked.  

[Cecily D Aria]

"Hey, are you alright?" Sandra questioned, looking at him in worry.  

[UkyoKuonji2004]

"I-I think so," Shiki said, "Are you?"  

[Cecily D Aria]

Sandra rolled her eyes at him. "What happened?" she asked.  

[UkyoKuonji2004]

"I must have been asleep," Shiki said and slowly sat up.  

[Cecily D Aria]

"Did you dream about your awakening again?" Sandra asked, watching him in worry.  

[UkyoKuonji2004]

"...Yes..." Shiki said. His eyes clouded a little from remembrance.  

[Cecily D Aria]

"Do you want to talk about it?" Sandra asked and wrapped her arms around him.  

[UkyoKuonji2004]

"...Even if I did, I wouldn't know where to begin," Shiki said.  

[Cecily D Aria]

"Is it just the same as before, or is it different?" Sandra asked, gently rubbing one of his arms with a hand.  

[UkyoKuonji2004]

"Both," Shiki answered.  

[Cecily D Aria]

Sandra wasn't sure what he meant, but it was apparent he didn't want to talk, so she didn't ask him anything more. Instead, she just held him, gently.  

[UkyoKuonji2004]

Shiki looked over to Sandra after a few minutes and smiled, "Thank you," He said.  

[Cecily D Aria]

"Don't mention it," Sandra replied, still holding him.  

[UkyoKuonji2004]

Shiki put his arm around her shoulders and pulled her closer, not caring that they still had not a stitch of clothes on, "So did you have a good nap? Until I ruined it anyway?"
