7 Days to the Wolves ♫ Nightwish

“You need to think about yourself every once in a while.” Aki muttered the phrase, as it was unusual upon her tongue. "I can take care of myself but, you being sleep deprived and looking as skinny as a twig isn't going to help you, or me. Please just.. Start taking care of yourself, don't worry about me."

“My apologies.”

The words were automatic. Casey felt no commitment to them, and she was sure it showed. Sleep simply wasn’t an option lately. Something haunted her dreams- ghosts of memories she was not sure belonged to her, imagery that came and went so fast she forgot it by daylight. She was not sure what this spectre of despair craved, but if it was her ability to sleep, it had indeed succeeded. Her eyes were bloodshot and vacant; she knew that the haunting dreams lingered in her mind even by sunlight. But at least they could not consume her here.

As for food, that came with the lack of sleep. Exhaustion such as this left no room for an appetite. Even though her limbs shook and she was slowly becoming as thin as a twig ( so aptly put ) she could not bring herself to taste more than ash as she bit into any of the food. Simply not accepting food was less shameful than sending the food back untouched or only partly eaten. She knew those who made it ( whether it was the han junketsu at the inn or aki herself, or perhaps another of the rebels for the night ) would only be insulted by such a gesture.

This was all alongside Casey’s constant concern over everything these days- their whereabouts, their safety, were they well-hidden enough? Try as she may, she could not simply detach herself from these concerns. They buzzed and buzzed about her brain. The combination of it all left her constantly on a track of decline- keep worrying and working until she was quite literally too exhausted to move, sleep pathetically for a scant few hours, and then do it all again, with the occasional bite of a tasteless meal in the mix. It was a destructive cycle which she felt no control over. Gods she wanted it to end. But she did not wish to worry the young woman, and so she smiled weakly and lied for her benefit. This was one of the only times Casey would ever excuse herself for doing so.

“I’ll try to treat myself a little better. Leave the worrying to me, alright? It wouldn’t do for you to be concerned.”

OFFALLINGWORLDS!

“I’m n-not--!”

Hands raise, lifting to press forward awkwardly. Hues of elmerald squeezed tight before opening again, staring at the blue-haired person and blinked curiously.

He scooted closer, knelt down next to him, and ...

“...are you okay?”
