it’s a bad habit. well, it’s a bad habit andromeda can do little about. cabin four’s door was always left open at night — the night breeze always does their indoor plants some good — and she’s always been a bit of a restless sleeper anyway. ( if it isn’t nightmares, she’s sleepwalking, and she’ll gladly accept the latter tonight. ) she should really see someone about that, maybe work herself to death in training or ask a hypnos camper to knock her out every night for a week. it’s not like she doesn’t work hard ; the fields aren’t gonna farm themselves and she’s still got training every day, so why can’t she just stay asleep ?
at least she had the sense to drag a blanket out with her on tonight’s sleep - walking adventures. she’s still half - asleep beneath the moonlight, sitting outside the dining pavilion with a sheet pulled around her shoulders. she’s almost nodded off again when the soft sound of footsteps draw her eyelids open again. “ can’t sleep ? ”
he doesn’t go around PARADING his sleep problems. one because that seems like an odd thing to be proud of. ( there’s no gold medal for insomnia but even then he’d still have a few people to contend with. ) two because he’s somewhat resistant to everyone knowing. he may have successfully assimilated himself into the food chain as the CLASS CLOWN, the good time, the one you go to HAVE RECKLESS FUN. but that doesn’t leave much room for sincerity. with the exception of a few people, of course. he comes to take a heavy seat with her, partially due to his gait ( lazy and almost clumsy at this time of night ) and his exhaustion permeating the interaction anyway. he could go and find brook, but on the odd chance she’s actually managed to fall asleep, he doesn’t want to risk waking her. she wouldn’t mind, but he definitely would. and then he’d have another reason to lose sleep until the sun started to rise and his eventually took him for a desperate but short - lived spell. “ not tonight. ” not the whole truth but he’s not in court. “ you okay? ” if anything, he could OFFSET it and discuss the fact his face is still healing from THE INCIDENT.
