until fireflies do us part

Sleep came more easily to Thalia these days than it once had. Abaven was her home now, at least for now, and she'd long since grown used to sleeping beside Theory - whether they ended up sleeping. They'd taken a walk to the bay and spent the evening talking, telling Theory more about her childhood and family and receiving the same in return. She felt at peace here, watching as the sun sunk down below the horizon and cast the world into darkness. By the time they fell into slumber the sky was dotted with a never-ending field of stars, lulling her easily to sleep despite the chill in the air, which was merely a good excuse to curl more tightly around Theory.

Only when she felt Theory's nose burying into her cheek did she jerk awake, completely disoriented at first. She tended to be a light sleeper most of the time, but apparently tonight had been an exception. At least it felt like night. Instinctively she unfurled herself from Theory's side and rolled onto her stomach, stiffening as if ready to flee as she slowly blinked sleep from her eyes. It took her a long moment to remember where she was, and to let the sudden spike of adrenaline slowly wilt, letting out a half-yawn as she came to her senses. "Hm? Why are we awake?" She protested quietly, blinking sleep from her eyes and not yet registering the sky's continuing darkness yet.
