[unbr8kable]

[snorts lightly but doesn't interrupt, just rests her head on her folded arms and listens]

[stakesthesame]

In the pines, in the pines, where the sun don't ever shine...

[ if u got a nirvana problem we can chat later, girly

but she just continues singing and playing, quiet. ]

[unbr8kable]

[she doesn't show any sign of recognizing the song, but starts tapping her thumb on the long beats]

[stakesthesame]

[ eventually that ends, and she slows her playing as she thinks, before continuing onto another song. and after that, just idly plucking at the strings to take a break, before picking up where she left off... and so on and so forth, everything nice and slow and easy. ]

[unbr8kable]

[She gets it--she knows Req's game and does not appreciate being so easily played, but the music--her playing is soothing, and now that she's sitting, she's just so tired. So she doesn't even make a decent protest as she feels herself begin to drift, leaning more heavily against Requiem]

[stakesthesame]

[ I'M NOT GONNA JAM OUT IN AN EMPTY BUILDING WHILE DEMON-POSSESSED IDIOTS ARE OUT WANDERING ABOUT, PLEASE, this isn't JUST about getting you to fuckin rest

But honestly, she's also. exhausted. she notices nem leaning more, but doesn't falter in her playing, letting her voice drift off and just concentrating on slow, soft beats and curling up just enough to rest her head on her shoulder. and once she's fairly sure nem has drifted a bit, she slows to a stop, and floats her bass gently to lay flat on the floor beside her, so she can let herself drift off too. ]

[unbr8kable]

[wow, we could've totally curbstomped some early morning demonangels, probably maybe]

[At any rate, she hums a bit at the contact, but seems to take no issue with it. It has been a very long day and resting is nice...]

[stakesthesame]

[ or get curbstomped by. again, in my case,

it's time for a nap now. req'll stay curled up against her until she stirs, at any rate. ]

[unbr8kable]

[coulda been a contender!]

[there's probably a good hour or so before she jerks herself awake, but for now she stays calm and quiet, breath even.]

[stakesthesame]

[ well. an hour is better than nothing.

the jerk gets a startled flinch from req, but. after a moment of bleary staring she honestly just curls up again, shoving herself under the edge of the blanket, mumbling. ]

... like another ten at least.

[unbr8kable]

[The words seem to ground her some. She settles enough to adjust where her glasses have smushed into her face, then curls back forward around her knees, still.]

[stakesthesame]

[ she dozes for a while longer, seemingly ignorant of nem's movements, before eventually shifting enough to turn her head and yawn. relaxing back against her... ugh, her neck hurt. ]


S'the sun up yet...?

[unbr8kable]

[Hums a no, shaking her head.]

Go back t'sleep, 'sstill early.

[stakesthesame]

You too, though.

[ she unleans for a moment or two to stretch, with a groan, before sleepily flopping back against her.

... and take her glasses off. you're gonna break em ]

Can play more, if y'want.

[unbr8kable]

[reaches out after her glasses to no avail against req's longer reach. instead hesitates, then prods at her side]

...Just lie down, will ya?

[stakesthesame]

[ she neatly folds them and puts them next to her bass, safe and sound. and squirms slightly under the poking, but mostly just kind of puts all her weight against nem's side and sleepily teases; ]

We gonna cuddle? Sure~

[unbr8kable]

--Come on...

[shoves at her, though gently enough it doesn't necessarily do anything]

[stakesthesame]

[ a little laugh, but she does still wrap an arm around nem's shoulders and tug her down with her.

... she's got the blanket anyway. ]

[unbr8kable]

[nem does not need a blanket, she can huddle like some dickensian orphan. except how she was not expecting this manhandling and ends up down anyway, since fighting is far too much trouble. so that's...something?]

[stakesthesame]

[ yes good i'm bigger than you. Also too tired to really think about this but hey.

Huddles the blanket around them and snuggles in, burying her face under it. Mumbly, ]

Thanks, Nem...

[unbr8kable]

[opens her mouth, and closes it again, and it is warmer like this anyway so in the end just keeps still]

[stakesthesame]

[ cool hope you don't mind hanging a while cuz she's OUT

She's unfortunately not as warm as a normal person but it beats blanketless cold. ]

[unbr8kable]

[well, neither is hurricane so she's kind of used to it, and she doesn't have anyplace better to be. she'll drift again eventually, but for now, even though things are pretty shitty in general, they could certainly be worse.]

[stakesthesame]

[ it's definitely a little while. but eventually when nem dozes off again, during the morning, when she next comes to req is awake, propped up on her stomach and playing with her phone, but still close.

she glances over at some point tho if she stirs. ]

... hey. Mornin'.

[unbr8kable]

[even in the weak light of the morning, nem looks a lot more washed out, but at least she slept some? looks over to req, which...that's new. a beat, and she offers at least an attempt at a smile]

...Hey.
