// He might have a hard time letting go of some things but I think as long as he has an outlet and a quiet place to escape without being bothered he'll recover pretty quickly

// ...you also just gave me an idea :)

// PLEASE she tried.
She made him stronger in the end, but she tried.

Now he can be a pain in her ass for the rest of her life fekjglfv

// 🤔 I'm not sure.... he still kinda needs to accept that Tholindis is potentially actually gone now that he's got a more clear head

// Heart inception... heartception.

The question is... do I want Rerir to have a fitful sleep or just get a good night's rest for once 😂

~slowly starting to pulse like they had before as he fell into slumber.

Maybe if he were lucky he'd have a dreamless sleep....

~less reason to stay awake.

His body was exhausted, mind burnt out from centuries of sleeplessness, finding he was almost desperate for it now despite how often he tried to avoid it.

Eventually, he gave in and let his eyes close, and soon enough, he was out, each of the fractures in his body~

~watched the fire dance just out of reach.

After a few minutes of quiet, Rerir shifted and slipped his left leg beneath the right to support his knee, hands resting in his lap as he settled more against the wall, his gaze never leaving the lantern as he slowly but surely started to find less and~

~set up near him. It was there his gaze remained, studying it, searching the azure flames licking the walls of the lantern for something, though what not even Rerir was certain.

Maybe he was looking for answers in the fire, or maybe he was looking for an excuse to keep fending off sleep as he~

~to go about his business, suspicion giving way to curiosity as he watched, only allowing his gaze to drift back to the floor when he felt there was nothing more to study and glean from observation.

Hearing Flins speak again drew his attention to the fae, then immediately to the lantern as it was~

The quiet was helpful, if only to allow him to physically relax. The mental struggle was more the issue, trying and failing several times to force himself to close his eyes, only to find reason after reason to keep them open.

Eventually, his gaze trailed to Flins as the fae walked around the space~

// PHASMOPHOBIA I love Phasmo - I support this idea.

~damage, it could be that he's bleeding out power too much.

~heartbeat and the speed at which it pulses can indicate whether or not he's okay or if something else is wrong inside.

The faster it is, the more likely there's something else going on that's causing his body to struggle healing.

Usually, it's just a nightmare, but if it's significant enough~
