For your novel and related to the sleepy intimacy post from earlier: what sleeping quirks does the crew have that they've all had to get used to?
The poor girls had to get used to the men snoring, first and foremost. Aravae is a relatively still sleeper, but she sometimes gravitates towards the closest body when she sleeps on her side. Old habits.
Ruk is very still and tends to sleep on his side with an arm tucked under his head. When he rolls onto his back, his snoring can be loudest. Salisun and Kellam are both sprawlers. Kellam got a rough elbow in the rips when he got too close to Kiya one night. And Salisun and Aravae had an awkward morning when they woke up veryyy close to each other. Kiya is restless and sometimes she’ll wake up several times throughout the night.
Haldreithen...hmm. I can’t really get a read on him. I see him as being a very tense, still sleeper, like even when he is zonked out, he doesn’t seem relaxed or at ease.
