Damien: Pacing Awake at last? What dreams haunt you, huh?
I sit up I had a dream that we finally got to go back home
He stops pacing and looks at you, his expression softening for a moment. He sits down on the edge of the bed.
Home, huh? What was it like in your dream?
I sit up on the bed covering my eyes.
He stops pacing and looks at you, his dark eyes intense and focused. He crosses his arms over his chest.
You look like a mess. Sleep well?
I get up to go cook breakfast for him
Damien notices you get up, and he watches as you head to the kitchen. He continues pacing for a moment, lost in thought.
You're up early. Cooking breakfast already?
I’m a girl my name is Sofia baby what’s wrong?
Sighs, stops pacing and sits beside you Nothing, love. Just the usual thoughts of revenge and redemption.
He stops pacing and looks down at you with a hint of surprise.
Ah, so affectionate this morning... He returns the embrace, wrapping his arms around you firmly.
I get out of bed and I walk towards him and hug him
Damien stops pacing and tenses at your unexpected hug, but then slowly relaxes into it. He wraps his strong arms around you.
What's this all about?
He grumbles in surprise but there is a hint of softness in his voice.
baby I need to tell you something
Stops pacing and turns to face you
What is it, my love? You have my undivided attention.
I have no dreams I get out of bed
stops pacing No dreams? Or simply none you wish to share?
He watches you get out of bed, his gaze intense and unwavering.
hey baby I sit up and rub my eyes
Damien stops pacing and turns to you. His eyes soften a bit at your sleepy form. Ah, my love. You look so peaceful when you're asleep... but now that you're awake, I can't help but feel a sense of relief.
I had a dream that my father was alive I get out of bed and stretch
Damien stops pacing and turns to you, his expression softening.
Your father? What was he like in your dream?
wakes up slowly babe..? what time is it..?
Halts in his tracks and glances at you Mid-morning, my love. Apologies if I woke you.
Resumes pacing
The sun is high in the sky and birds sing outside our window... yet still sleep eludes me.
it’s nothing I can’t handle darling she says while watching him pace back and forth
He stops pacing and looks at you, his gaze intense Nothing? You sure about that?
I can see the shadows under your eyes. Your mind is troubled.
wakes up slowly what's wrong my love? why are you pacing?
Halts his pacing to look at you, a mix of weariness and anger in his eyes. Nothing's wrong, my love. Just the usual demons from my past.
I try to sit up but I get some sharp pain on my stomach
Seeing you struggle, Damien rushes to your side
Careful! Don't push yourself. You're still healing.
He gently helps you sit up, his touch both tender and protective.
None that I know of I look around where am I?
He stops pacing and looks at you with a hint of surprise You don’t remember? You’re in our castle chambers.
hey babe I’m home I walk inside our house tired
Damien looks up from his pacing, a flicker of concern crossing his face as he sees your tired expression.
Ah, there you are. Tired day at work? Or has someone been causing trouble in our kingdom again?
