Action | Anywhere | Watch out for that Car.

[Bit by bit Terra's focus and concentration begins to waver. She keeps up her routines clinging to the comfort that she’s grown accustom to in Genessia. However the lack of sleep is beginning to take its toll.

There is a basket under her arm filled with flowers she'd picked earlier that morning and a distracted expression on her face. She isn’t aware of what’s around her, the ambient noises are like distant reminders of something that she knows she shouldn’t forget. Her gaze is focused towards a rose pinched between her fingers when the screeching of tires reaches her ears. Terra blinks and looks up just in time to see the car heading straight for her.

When did she step into the street?]

Action | Flower Shop | Shattering glass.

[Despite her lack of sleep or any warnings she might have been given from friends, Terra is at work. She can be found at the flower shop in both Genessia and Attleton.

Her fingers move carefully as she readies a display for the window. The vase is filled artfully with tulips and baby's breath. She lifts the glass and steps across the store with a determined gait. As she moves the crystal white glass slips from her finger tips and crashes to the floor. Terra jumps and looks down at the glimmering broken glass in confusion.]

I’m sorry.

[She doesn’t want to disturb others in the store and so she silently sets to cleaning up the mess.]

Action/Text | Home | Looking for help.

[Terra is curled on her couch with a cup of tea held between her fingers. She feels exhaustion press against her temples but she can’t bring herself to close her eyes. She places down her cup and reaches for her phone hoping to find some answer that might help her.]

What do you do if you’re having trouble sleeping?

Have you tried melatonin supplements?

[Did that car conveniently stop moving in its tracks? It certainly did. The vehicle would be stuck in place thanks to a shadow claw gripping its back bumper and a certain brunet man would step out into the street next to Terra. He places a hand on her shoulder and gestures his free hand towards the other side of the street.]

You should be more careful, Miss Branford. Let's get you to the other side, shall we?

[The driver of that car is probably so confused and annoyed right now.]

Prayer comes to mind first; that helps with most things, so long as it's meant.

Then there's the phrase uttered by a wise woman: "Sleep is good, and sleep is here. Sleep is good." Said to ward off all dreams.

So much for the spirit. For the flesh, reading can tire your eyes, and walking can tire your body. Ah, make sure you read something on a page, not a screen, if possible.

Of course, it goes without saying I don't mind helping you with any of these, if you wish.

[battler does pay attention to the network, he does look at all that is being said, but he does not respond to anything. why should he? it would just turn into a mess of 'you're a killer' etc etc. so, him scanning the network was why he knew that terra was having trouble sleeping. he also knew that the reason she was having problems was being he was the cause of it. it was amusing, considering the fact that he was currently only talking to three people: rika, emerald, and terra.

that night it was the usual where he would visit her at some point, and he looked and poked at her flowers until she arrived. once she did enter the greenhouse he looked over at her.]

Ahh... Ter-..... hm? [she seemed... sluggish, exhausted, and that made battler frown. he didn't need to sleep or eat so he often forgot about such human habits.]

Are you.... ill? Truly? Is it from... the lack of sleep you had mentioned on the network?

No, what is that?

I have a few books.

[She doesn't know about the other ones.]

And I suppose I can walk a bit in the garden.

[Terra exhales a slow, unsteady breath, as the familiar man leads her out of the street.]

Yes, I'm sorry.

[She looks over at him flashes a weak smile.]

Thank you.

[It's been sometime since she's seen him and she admits that she's glad to see him.]

[The door clicks softly behind her as she enters the green house. She blinks a few times as if it'd taken that long for her to register that Battler spoke. She is accustom to working off little sleep but since he'd been visiting there were some nights that she hadn't slept at all.]

Ah, yes. I'm sorry.

[She isn't used to being sleepy, usually 4 hours a night is enough for her however Battler's visits mixed with her usual nightmares have made sleep elude her.]

I have nightmares.

[She doesn't want to call them memories.]

[battler continued to inspect her as she spoke, he even reached out to her and ran the backs of his fingers over her cheek. yes, she really did seem completely out of it. the redhead retracted his hand from her face, and he then grabbed her arm. he started to pull her with him.]

Come, let's go to bed, then. [and yes he is coming with.]

[Terra walks without resistance as Battler begins to pull her.]

Ronan will hear you...

[She whispers the words softly but doesn't fight. She's to tired to fight against him and her mind is working a little to slowly.]

[he's only marginally paying attention to the pretty young lady who looks drowsy and preoccupied...

That is until he notices the car-- and her stepping out without seeming to notice.]

Watch out!

[he's sorry about the asphalt burns you may have gotten from the full body tackle he did to get you to safety. It's not graceful but in the heat of the moment it was the only think he could think of]

Are you okay?

[The force of his rescue makes her head spin. Her palms lightly rest against his chest as she blinks up at him. The impact is enough to wake her up and the sound of the car hooking as it passes is enough for her to realize what could have happened.]

Y-yes...

[Her head turns and she sees the remnants of her flowers littering the sidewalk.]

I'm sorry.

N-no it's not your fault. [he scampers away from her if only because of the awkward position and helps her to her feet before beginning to gather her flowers]

Are you feeling alright?

[Once on her feet Terra smooths out her dress and begins to pick what flowers she can off the street and place them back into her basket. It's okay if she loses some of them, flowers can be replaced.]

I'm alright, thank you.

I'm sorry for the trouble.

[battler kept on pulling her and he even opened the door for them.]

No, he won't, I'll be quiet. Do you really think I would jeopardize what we have?

[it's the only thing he really looks forward to.]

[Terra simply nods, allowing him to lead her. Once they're inside she tugs him towards her bedroom. She doesn't think that he knows the way. If she's lucky Ronan is out late tonight.]

This way.

[he quietly follows behind her, his footsteps are light so he does not make any sort of sound. he won't say anything more until they reach her bedroom.]

[Terra opens the door and waits for Battler to step inside. She closes the door softly behind her and steps deeper into the room. It's a small room with a twin bed, a dresser, a nightstand and a closet. There is room for her though two of them will be tight on the bed.]

Now... what?

[She doesn't actually know what they're doing.]

[battler doesn't say anything else, he just starts to undo his tie. it was rather tight around his neck, and he wanted to relax with her after all. he walked over to her bed, kicked off his shoes, and then he went to sit down on it.]

You wanted to sleep, yes? I'll just keep you company.

[Terra takes a step forward and then pauses.]

Okay... Can I change?

[battler chuckles at that, then he just moves to lay down in her bed. he's on his side, watching her.]

Go right ahead.

[Terra tries to stop the flush crawling to her cheeks. She turns away from Battler and faces the closet. She first slips out of her red dress and hangs it, Battler will find that Terra doesn't don't wear a bra. She grabs a loose silky shirt from the closest and slips into it. It's hem falls a few inches above her belly button. She then slips on a silky pair of matching shorts.

When she's done she turns back towards battler, her fingers pulling at her pony tail so that the long curling strands fall over her shoulders.]

done.

[She swallows and moves to sit on the bed. She isn't sure what to do or how to lay down. The bed doesn't seem big enough.]

[he watches her intently, his eyes focused on her curves even in the dark. battler feels amusement from knowing that she was most likely embarrassed, especially with him watching, but he doesn't say anything until she is finished. once she sits on the edge of the bed, battler moves so his back is against the wall.]

Terra, lay down beside me. [it will be a tight fight, but they can do it.]

[Terra scoots closer before lifting her legs up on the bed. Her back presses against Battlers front as her head rests on the pillow.]

Is this okay?

[battler moves to bring an arm over her much smaller frame, now keeping her close against him. he has his head down against the pillow as well, and he just smiles at their new position.]

Yes, it's perfect. [she can probably sleep like this, right?] I'll leave in the morning, do not worry.
