He can see out of the corner of his eye,his Ghost drifting downward ever so slightly,optic flickering and the little form wavering.Tired, he tells himself, been tired for a while,it was about time the Ghost settled for a recharge;he thinks these thingsas he turns his attention to a lingering Hunter,gives him the weapon and armor he’s paid for,and delivers some kind of backhanded complimentto send him on his way.A light weight settles on his shoulderas the Crucible Handler says this compliment,and he looks over to see the rosy shellsettled among the faux fur adorning his form.A gloved hand reaches up as the Hunter steals away,digits running carefully over the raised formbefore his hand drops back to his sideand he says in a soft voice, “Sleep well, little one.”He keeps a more still and straighter posture,refraining from his habit of shifting every so oftenso that his Ghost would not fall off the precarious perch.Though he does end up reaching to his shoulderoften to make sure she’s still there, running a gentle hand over her shell,and quietly hoping, wondering, that while Ghosts slept,and if they dreamt of anything, if they dreamt at all,that they did not dream of the horrors they so often face with their Guardians.
