Soothing Souls

Thankfully the boy was too exhausted to fight sleep when he'd been brought to the den and given a place to lay down. Although he fell right to sleep, it wasn't long before haunting memories corrupted his dreams and easily turned them into nightmares, reliving everything he'd just been through only fabricated by his mind to be much worse... if that was even possible.

He was still when the girl entered, though off and on the boy was twitching, kicking, and whining from his dreams. Too deep into his sleep to be woken up by such dreams, he suffered through it, and remained asleep as the girl entered and covered him with the warm fur. Even when the girl curled up beside him, he didn't stir until many minutes later, when the nightmares continued and jerked him abruptly from his sleep finally with a yelp. Wide eyes panicked for some time before he calmed a bit, realizing it was just a dream, and panting out his stress. It wasn't for another moment or two that he realized he had company and he started to shy away from the girl, but worried about waking her. Besides, the comfort of having someone else close was nice. Maybe it wasn't so bad... Grimshaw frowned, as he often did anyway, and reluctantly settled back down into the girl and the fur, hoping that now his dreams might be less frightening.
