I THINK WE'RE DOOMED // open, nightmare

[jacob w.c.]

THE BLUE AND GREEN BELOW IS A MASTERPIECE — Hearing her first words, a light frown tugged at his lips but he gave a nod. "Alright but ya' really should try ta' get some rest soon. It ain't good for ya' ta' stay up n' there's lotsa' stuff I can give ya' ta' help with sleepin' n' nightmares if ya' need it." He should know, he had to take most of them for even an hour of decent sleep. It wasn't a good habit but it was better than the alternative, he supposed, which was never sleeping. Other than that, he also knew he needed to be careful with what he took and how much he took. In the city, he'd seen plenty of people strung out on even simple sleeping herbs or medicines only because they didn't know how much they could take or how reliant their bodies would become on it. Jacob had thankfully never had that problem, which was truly a miracle given how much he had to take to ebb his pain and nightmares. It wasn't a perfect process and he wasn't happy with all that'd happened, but he did know his way around most sleeping herbs well enough to have a good idea of what someone could handle, even when dealing with more sensitive substances.

When the feline asked if he could stay and talk for awhile, he was quick to move in closer and settled down near her. "'Ah course. I can stay as long as ya' need me," he assured her. It wasn't as though he'd be getting any sleep anyways and it made him feel good to really help take care of someone again. He wasn't happy that Atbash was struggling but he'd be lying if he said he wasn't feeling a bit distant recently. It'd be nice to talk to someone, even in this sort of situation. "What'd ya' need ta' talk about?" It was safe to assume she'd want to talk about her nightmares or whatever was troubling her (his guess was it had something to do with her brother) but some people liked to avoid whatever was bothering them at all costs. It wasn't healthy on a long term scale but right now they were just trying to get Atbash to sleep so he'd be comfortable with just about any topic.  — BUT YOU ARE BEAUTIFUL LIKE I'VE NEVER SEEN
