[Something is not right. Ever since Ken's "nightmare", Raine had been sleeping uneasily. It takes a moment for her to identify, but...well, that ball of Lightning-flavored mana might be a clue. She snaps her fingers and the Ampharos lamp comes on, illuminating her room. She speaks to the sleeping figure.]
I see you've decided to return from the forest, Yuan.
[Yuan makes a grumpy noise and burrows his face into the pillow. It doesn't feel like late enough in the morning for the sun to be that bright.
He's too sleepy to have registered the presence of a voice yet, or what that must mean.]
[Hmph. Well, she's not about to prod a sleeping man while she's in nothing but a nightshirt. She gets out of the bed, making no effort to be quiet or to not disturb him, but she hesitates when she sees a second inconsistency: a new door attached to her room. She speaks a little louder.]
Yuan. The castle is altering our behaviors again.
Mrf. [He raises his head to give her a grumpy glare...then pauses and looks confused as his brain catches up to him. A quick check confirms, much to his relief, that he's wearing loose flannel pants, at least. And the faint nagging in the back of his mind is gone...no wonder he was sleeping so well.]
...This is the castle.
[She speaks pleasantly to cover her current unease.] My room in the castle, actually.
Mmhm. [He sits up and looks around to get his bearings, hair flowing loose over his shoulders. It's almost back to its usual length.] Any idea why?
That is, why I'm here. I assume it's normal for you. [Yeah, he's not all the way awake yet.]
[She crosses her arms. Not that she has anything against Yuan in particular, but Raine does not appreciate waking up with someone else in her bed against her knowledge and without her consent.]
There's a door here that wasn't present before. I've yet to investigate it.
[Oh, Yuan fully understands that. He looks at the door, which is rather ominously pastel.]
...Well, I guess we'd better have a look.
I hope you're wearing pants? [It's important to clarify, okay?]
[He nods a bit impatiently, throwing off the blankets and swinging his feet over the side of the bed so he can get up. They're rather loose, and made of patterned flannel with little stars and moons.] It seems the castle's decided to be nice.
[She nods, arms still crossed in discomfort. Raine walks over to the door and quietly opens it, alert for whatever might be on the other side. It's dark inside, but the light from her lamp shows some unfamiliar furniture and...toys?]
[The sight of the toys gives Yuan a sinking feeling, but he approaches the doorway anyway, keeping a polite distance from Raine so as not to make this any more awkward than it is.] ...Don't tell me...
[quietly, and yes, confirming that fear] He's sleeping.
[Yuan sighs.] I retract my earlier statement about the castle being nice.
...Now what?
I suggest we allow him to sleep as long as he will. [She sighs.] And I'll order some coffee. I've a feeling we'll be needing it.
And I guess I should find some proper clothes. [And a hair tie, and see if the fog's lifted so he can go feed the cats, and pretty much do anything that doesn't involve dealing with having a son.]
