"You were screaming in your sleep."
[ from @wyvernsolitaire ]
inigo can't help the way he jolts at gerome's hand on his shoulder, the way he reaches for a blade already kicked out of the way - and he breathes in deep to stop the panic from blooming hot under his skin.
it takes a moment for his eyes to adjust to the dark shape of gerome, half-armored, and a moment longer for him to register the words.
oh.
" oh - uh. s...sorry? if i woke you. "
he sits himself upright, rubbing at his brow, before he exhales a little sigh.
" ugh. well, i'm definitely up for the night. "
nightmares.
