Stars would begin to appear as the darkness around them deepened. Aeolus soon replied to his father, saying that he wanted to sleep here on this lovely little prairie. It's been a while since I slept some place as nice as this. Dayton would nod in agreement, a sleepy smile painted across his lips. Then his jaws would part as a large yawn issued from his throat, and he would tighten his grip on the pup once more as sleep enclosed him in its welcoming arms. His slumber would soon be interrupted, however, as Aeolus woke with a start and began to breathe heavily. He guessed that the boy was having nightmares. Dayton wasn't surprised. He had his own share of nightmares, both now and in the past. Amber eyes would open as the child stirred, trying to nestle back in as sleep eluded him. Dayton would press his lips to the boy once more, placing a soothing kiss on his nose. "Is everything alright?" he murmured, voice low and rough with sleep. "Do you want to talk about your dream?" Sometimes nightmares were too scary to talk about. But sometimes sharing them made things better. It reminded you that it was only a dream. Little did he know, the child was dreaming about something terribly real. "SPEECH" |
