Forgiveness in a Small Package

Her turn to sleep, was it? If she could. She would try, but she always tried. One foreleg moved upwards and she rubbed her face against it as if trying to rub the sleep from her eyes. Life would be a lot easier if she didn't have to sleep. Then she wouldn't have very many problems at all. Curling her neck to the side, she fixed one dull eye upon her sibling, lid at half mast.

At first she wasn't sure if he was going to answer, but he did and the answer wasn't a good one. Io frowned slightly and continued to listen. Did he think he would permanently push Zee away? She hoped not, although she didn't know the woman well enough yet to say. She liked to think that the pair could get through anything, seeing as how their starts in life had been so rocky.

Sirius then went on to say that she looked like shit, basically. Iolaire laughed aloud, but quietly so as not to wake the sleeping leopard. "Worn is one word for it. Exhausted another." That single visible eye rolled up to look at the giant once more. "I've suffered from bouts of severe insomnia for years. I've thought about it often and I think it started once I learned that my father was hunting and murdering my brothers." The constant need to be alert and her hypersensitivity to danger back then had shorted out her sleep cycle. She no longer slept like a normal wolf should. "It's always the same cycle: Don't sleep for days, snap, sleep for a few days straight, go back to normal." Iolaire stretched a bit and curled herself tighter. "I'll be fine. Back to normal before you know it."
