“S…Severa?” Cordelia sighed with soft relief, her expression going the same way as she set her spear upon the wall. The pegasus knight was donned in light, baggy sleepwear, and her hair was an absolute mess. Most likely, she had just woken up in the middle of the night as well.
“You’ve scared the wits out of me, Severa. I was afraid we were being ambushed at night.” She shook her head, pulling a match from the drawer and igniting a nearby lantern, restoring illumination to her daughter’s room and making her concerned face all the more easily seen. “Everything is okay, is it not? I’d hate to have to wake up the rest of the company for nothing.”
The redhead looked away, not knowing how loud she was while she was having that nightmare. Maybe she should’ve just slept outside or something instead... but that would lose the comfortable cot she was sleeping in now.
“I... sorry mother... I had... a nightmare.” she didn’t want to admit it, but it was her mother. She was bound to find out sooner or later, especially when most of her nightmares involved her.
“Y-You don’t have to wake up anyone else.” Assuming she didn’t wake anyone else. Severa wiped her face, hoping that there weren’t anymore signs that she was crying. “C-Can you stay with me?”
