it had been a late night. despite constant attempts pike couldn’t seem to get through to serenrae, and it left the gnome worried at best and despondent at worst. so often would pike lose track of the time, praying until the sun came up and gave her a false sense of a breakthrough.
rubbing her eyes, it wasn’t until pike found herself yawning that she realized she had stayed up well into the night. she had to be strong for her friends here, because if she let on she was scared it wouldn’t have been good for anyone. praying made her feel better, even if only a little bit. the distinct smell of coffee filled her senses as her eyes opened at the end of her recitations, a white head of hair taking her by surprise.
“percy... you’re still up?” a bit embarrassed at her futile attempts, pike stifled another yawn, “i’m sorry -- excuse me. i, i just --”
“thank you. are you up working on a project?”
