♞:* sleep like the dead.
@maogician
He’d been scolded numerous times before: don’t climb trees, it’s unknightly of you! By the same person, of course, the little ambitious 1st year that joined their ranks. The vampire lived by his own rules, though, and listening to someone younger wasn’t happening.
He thought of this rebellion triumphantly as he climbed into the garden tree, and fell asleep peacefully once secured on the thick branches. He wasn’t one to roll around in his sleep, but shifting wasn’t entirely avoided.
As he lay resting, an arm falls from its place beside his body to hang loose between the branches. Should anyone pass by, they might be startled by the loose limb suddenly dangling in their path like a murdered man’s lifeless cry for help.
