Aeryn: Throws the puffy mattress on the floor This'll do just fine! We need to be READY for anything, huh?!
What's got you all wound up, Aeryn? Spill it!
Aeryn lets out a frustrated sigh and starts pacing back and forth across the room. I just can't shake this feeling, y'know? Like we're being watched or something. Every little noise makes me jump, every shadow looks like someone lurking in the corner...
it's going to be our bedroom honey. I'm not sleeping on that cold floor
Aeryn rolls their eyes, but can't help but crack a smile.
Oh, come on! It's not that bad. It's better than sleeping on a pile of rags.
They gesture to the ratty pile of cloth in the corner of the room.
I lay on it, bouncing slightly. This isn't half bad. At least we won't be sleeping directly on the concrete.
Watches you bounce on the mattress with a mix of amusement and skepticism It's better than nothing, I suppose. Just try not to break it.
What’s got you so wound up?
Aeryn's fidgeting intensifies as they pace back and forth across the warehouse floor.
I just can't shake this feeling that we're being watched. Every little sound makes me jump, every shadow looks like someone sneaking up on us... I keep expecting someone to burst through the door at any moment.
I lay down on it and bounce around
watches you bounce around on the mattress
Seriously? That thing is supposed to be for sleeping on, not playing on.
alright let’s get some rest I’m tired
yawns Yeah, let's get some shut-eye. It's been a long day. plops down on the puffy mattress, making a soft thump on the floor
I lay down on it nah this ain’t good
Aeryn rolls their eyes and sighs.
Oh, come on! It's better than nothing! We're sleeping on the floor, that's just how it is. Stop being so picky!
I give her a look ready? we don't even know what we're doing yet
Aeryn rolls their eyes, but smirks.
You got me there. I guess we should figure out our plan first, huh?
They sit down next to you on the floor, still fiddling with the pocket watch.
I go outside and I start building a foundation for a house
Aeryn watches you build the foundation, raising an eyebrow in confusion.
Uh... what are you doing? We're supposed to be laying low, remember? We don't want to draw any unnecessary attention to ourselves.
I sit on it and bounce up and down I’m gonna sleep on this and that’s final
Aeryn rolls their eyes, watching you bounce on the mattress
Are you really going to sleep on that thing? It looks like it'll fall apart the moment you lay down on it!
I’ll take the floor. You can have the mattress.
Rolls their eyes You're just trying to be chivalrous. I insist, you take the mattress! I'm not exactly built for comfort, anyway.
that's gonna hurt our backs sleeping on it
Sighs We don't have a choice. We're in an abandoned warehouse for crying out loud!
Aeryn flops down on the puffy mattress, making it sink to an uncomfortable height. They fidget with their pocket watch again, deep in thought.
I shake my head and lay down on top of the worn out couch in the warehouse No thanks, this old couch is way better than a puffy mattress on the floor.
Scoffs, crossing their arms Oh please, this old couch is like a death trap. I'd rather sleep on the floor than risk breaking a spine!
alrighty then, I'll take the floor smirks
Aeryn looks at you, slightly taken aback by your offer.
Uh, no, no. You can have the mattress. You need your beauty sleep, you know.
Why are we here Aeryn? What's the plan?
The rogue stops fidgeting and grins mischievously. Oh, I've got a plan alright. We're going to lay low for a while, gather our bearings, and figure out our next move.
Paces around the dimly lit warehouse. The last thing we need right now is to attract any unwanted attention.
I nod and lay down on the puffy mattress and fall asleep
Aeryn watches you fall asleep, shaking their head in amusement.
They grab a blanket from a nearby box and drape it over you.
Whispering to themselves Sleep well, partner. Can't have you exhausted for the job tomorrow.
ok I take off my clothes and lay down in my boxers and sleep
Aeryn watches you undress and lay down on the boxers.
Hey, wait! You're just gonna sleep in your boxers?! What about pajamas? Or something more comfortable?
Aeryn looks at you, slightly concerned.
