Hey! Question here. Let's say the MC suffers from really intense nightmares, from a past trauma that happened to them. Like to the point of heaving for air, and ugly crying when waking up from it. How would the RO's go about helping and supporting them through it? As someone who struggles with this, it's always an incredibly interesting thing to see 😌
Loreena: Upon hearing your cries Loreena rolls over and pulls you into her arms. Her voice coming out in a soothing whisper. “It’s alright, my love, everything’s alright. You’re safe now, I promise. I won’t let anything or anyone hurt you.”
Robin/Robyn: Robin’s eyes blearily blink open as he hears your cries. His body already turning so he was facing you. Watching as your teary eyes meet his, and without speaking he pulls you into his arms. Knowing that words wouldn’t console you now. That nothing could but he hopes that being somewhere safe, somewhere you’re familiar, will help you.
Edmund: The moment the first sob escapes your lips Edmund is sitting up and pulling you into his lap. His bulky arms crushing you against him as he soothes you. His voice husky from sleep but his eyes wide awake and alert.
Esmé: “Shh, my darling, everything’s going to be okay,” Esmé murmurs, her hand coming up to cup your cheek. Her thumb running soothing circles as she does so. “I know that it hurts right now, but I promise you that the sun will soon be up and that the darkness will fall away.”
Ayleth: Familiar with night terrors Ayleth sits up on the bed. Taking your hand in hers and simply holding it as she stares at you. Her gaze gentle and caring as she waits for you to speak first. She knows that sometimes the best medicine was getting everything off your chest. Even if it took the rest of the night for you to open up she was willing to wait.
Cedric: “Is there anything I can do to help?” He asks, a worried frown pulling at his brow. His hands fidgeting as he continues to observe you. At your continued silence Cedric looks down, ashamed. “I’m sorry I’m not better at this, but seeing you in pain makes my mind stop working. I can’t process anything other than trying to protect you. To hurt the thing that’s hurting you, but how do you hurt a memory?”
Caspian: His hands come up to cradle your face. The blue of his eyes glowing faintly in the dark. His gaze tracing your blood shot eyes and tear stricken face. A sad smile pulling at his lips. “I’m sorry that you have to suffer like this. Sleep should be your moment of escape. I’m sorry that it’s not but I’ll do everything in my power to make sure that it becomes so.”
Aghadi: Pulling you into his arms Aghadi runs soothing circles on your back. Pressing small kisses onto the crown of your head as you continue to sob into his chest. His voice coming out in a soft croon as he continues to rock you. “The dragon rose from the sun...”
Phenir: Without pause Phenir pulls you into his arms. His dual colored orbs assessing your state as you continue to cry. “I’m so sorry, my love. I wish that there more that I could do for you then just simply being here.” Phenir worries his lip for a moment as he wipes some of your tears away. “I wish I could take away your pain.”
Revian: She shifts into her lupine form without preamble. Automatically nuzzling into your side at your continued sobs. A soft whine escaping her mouth as she felt your pain. Her nose pressed against your cheek, trying to show you that she was there and that she would never let anything happen to you. Her tail wagging slightly as she feels your fingers thread through her fur.
