♚ CHOOSE ANY OF MY LOSERS
( mudgutsnoglory )
Renholder hadn’t noticed that Muddy was asleep at first, mostly because he hadn’t stopped moving yet. He’d slowly drifted from fiddling with his hands and little stones and bits of grass and string to twitching in his sleep.
She’s still sitting where they’d left her, watching the fire burn down and they all curled up to sleep around her. Muddy’s got his legs across his lap, just like they’d been when he started drifting, and his head resting on Cundalini’s stomach. She’d tried to sleep, tried to dose with them, but her demons had risen with the dark this time. So she watched them in the fire and in her mind, and the demons the others carried with them in their sleep. The demons as Muddy drifts from aimless motions to lashing out at something neither of them can see. She pets his legs, trying to soothe him and somehow ‘lini rolls in his sleep, cuddling closer to Muddy.
