[ATBASH CIPHER.]

ATBASH CIPHER

you laugh and smile at me, but you don't see a thing !

As strange as it may seem, sleeping didn't come naturally to Atbash. Her species of demon didn't necessarily need sleep, though the bodies they possessed still did. So while she experienced exhaustion, the she-cat could fight it if she wanted to and force her body to stay awake. Tonight was one of those nights when the savannah decided on staying up, mostly because of the words of Atticus still running through her mind, though she didn't see when Elsweyr had left. By the time the lioness came back, Atbash was relaxing on her porch and perked up when she saw that Elsweyr was up and trying to move around. Worried at first, Atbash jumped to her paws, though she relaxed when it seemed like Els had everything under control.

That is, until the Shadow Regent's legs buckled beneath her. Immediately, Atbash rushed to Elsweyr's side, attempting to help the lioness up and to use herself as an aid. It would be hard, considering the size difference, but anything was better than nothing, no? "You've got this, Elsweyr." Atbash tried to encourage. "You're doing much better than before, things are going uphill. You can lean on me if you need to, I'll be here."
