Sky must be sleeping with someone else tonight, probably Red Son or something. He prefers not to sleep alone, but he doesn't know the other castle inhabitants well enough to cuddle with them yet, and well, he can't find another random bed every night of the week. Sometimes he has to sleep in his own, alone.

Of course, he's awoken several times with nightmares of the people he loves suffering, dying painfully, or being killed... By him.

After the third nightmare, he gives up on sleeping entirely and gets up to wander the castle. He goes down to the kitchen and finds a satchel of tea Levi gave him, one he's been saving for a rainy day, and figures this qualifies as rainy. He wants the comfort, wants the reminder of Levi. He brews it carefully, according to the methods Levi taught him, and then takes the tea up to the roof for some fresh air.

He almost jumps out of his skin as his eyes catch on Arrakis' form. Not that he's scared of Arrakis, he just has PTSD and a huge startle reflex. He takes a breath to steady himself before approaching the other man, sidling up next to him.

"Can't sleep?"
