Alexandra Mar & Gabriel Night's Residence

[BunBunTheRagDoll]

“Hey, Sabre?” Alex asks, looking at him with a smile. “How does the beach sound tomorrow? It’s probably going to be windy and it’s usually nice and sunny. You feel up for some sand between your toes?” She said, still smiling. And she was leaving it up to Sabre. It was his choice and she was fine with it either way. If he wanted to get used to being in the house longer, okay. If he wanted to get out and get some fresh air, super.

"The beach? Hm...sand, sun, surf?" Sabre thought aloud tredding water a moment before going under. Coming back up he hopped up on the side of the pool next to her. "Sure that'd be fun. We can warn Mrs. Amy, maybe she can pack us a picknick?" He suggested lightly nudging her shoulder.  

[BunBunTheRagDoll]

Alex grinned as Sabre thinks out loud. She laughed as he came up out of the pool to sit beside her with a nod. “Alright. That sounds good to me.” Alex then nudged Sabre’s shoulder back and added, “Oh, and there’s a new rule. You want to know what it is?” She paused dramatically, waiting for his answer.  

[Firefly_Wanderer]

Sabre chuckled again. "A new rule? What rule would that be Mistress?" He asked looking back over at her with a little smile. Sabre actually didn't mind rules, he felt better knowing all of them so he didn't do something wrong.

“Ah! You already broke it,” Alex said, poking Sabre in the side. She then smiled up at him. “No more Mistress crud. It’s just Alex, alright?” Alex said with her smile still in place. She wanted him to feel more at home there, not a guest but a member of the house who was going to stay there.  

[Firefly_Wanderer]

Sabre laughed a little when she poked him. "Alright then Mis-Alex. I'll do my best." He said with a little nod. It would be hard to do so. Sabre was trained to always refer to his lord or lady by their proper titles. It would be a struggle but he'd do his best.

Alex grinned at Sabre’s laugh and then near mistake. “That’s all I ask,” She said and then poked his side again, wanting to see if it wasn’t just a mistake. “And every time you mess up, no desert for two days!” Alex said, as if it were the worst sort of punishment there was. “And I’m warning you, Miss. Amy makes a mean cheesecake!” She added and then laughed still grinning.  

[Firefly_Wanderer]

Sabre laughed again when she poked him, why did he have to be ticklish? "Alright, alright. I'll work on it. But I have to tell you that's one mean punishment." Sabre joked looking back at her. Well it was sorta a bad one, he'd never been one for sweets. But who knew, maybe Mrs. Amy would actually make something he liked.  

[BunBunTheRagDoll]

Alex shouted in victory as Sabre laughed. This time, there was no mistake, he was ticklish. Alex continued to grin, tail twitching happily. “Speaking of Miss. Amy, I hope she didn’t give you too hard of a time this morning. And I hope she didn’t take anything the wrong way either.” She said as she watched the light dance off the water’s surface. That was always a sure fire way to distract Alex, even if it is just looking away.  

[Firefly_Wanderer]

"No not to hard of a time. She did question as to why I was in your room half naked, but once I explained she was calmer. So I believe we avoided a crisis." Sabre answered as he chuckeled a little. The cook had seemed positively livid when she had spoken to him in the kitchen that morning. But to him, Mrs. Amy seemed more crushed when he told her about Alex's nightmare. "Mrs. Amy, she doesn't know about your nightmares, does she?" He said more as a statement than a question.  

[BunBunTheRagDoll]

Alex smiled at Sabre’s crisis comment. That was certainly something to tip toe around. Her eyes were still on the water when he asked his statement-ish question. Alex bit her lip for a moment, thinking of how to answer or confirm. “Memory,” She said after a moment, correcting what Sabre asked. “It was a memory of that day. The nightmares are much worse. But yeah, as far as she knows I’ve gotten over them. Well, guess she knows now huh?” Alex’s tail twitched slightly, now nervous on how, or when, Miss. Amy would confront her about the nightmarish memory.  

[Firefly_Wanderer]

"Yes I'm afraid she does. That would be my fault. I didn't know you wished to keep it secret. Next time I will do my best not to tell." Sabre answered after a moment. Had he known he wouldn't have given Miss Amy as much information as he had. Hopefully the cook wouldn't be too angry with his young mistress. After all Alex didn't have to tell anyone anything if she didn't want too. So there was no sense in holding a grudge. "Do they plague you often? These dreams?" He asked thinking.  

[BunBunTheRagDoll]

Alex shrugged, kicking her legs under the water’s surface. “It’s alright. You didn’t know. Besides, I didn’t try and hide it or anything. So it's not exactly a secret. I just stopped telling Miss. Amy about it…” She said, eyes still on the light bouncing off the pool’s disturbed surface. Alex took a moment before answering, sorting out just what to tell Sabre. After a while she sighed, deciding that she had nothing worth hiding from him. “Every night nearly. Sometimes I get a break, sometimes I don’t. I’ve kinda trained my body to store extra energy so I won’t be as tired the next day. It’ll probably hit me sometime around dinner though,” Alex said, still not looking at Sabre. She had hoped talking about it during the daylight might make it a little bit less scary, like a tree outside your window or something that casted a shadow on your wall at night. But so far, it hasn’t for Alex.  

[Firefly_Wanderer]

Sabre listened quietly. He knew the feeling. Dreams were hard to shake, even in the daylight. Constant haunting didn't help one's mind. "I think you should talk to her about it. Actually talk to anyone who will listen. Maybe then it'll help you come to terms with it and she'll finally stop haunting you." He said finally, his voice soft and thoughtful. "That or....talk to your father. Find out what really happened that day. That might help as well."

Alex nodded, thinking. “Yeah, maybe…” She said. Her ears went a little forward when she heard Sabre’s voice soften. The way he said it, the tone, it made Alex think that maybe Sabre understands better than she thought he did. Maybe he did and maybe he didn’t, there was still a lot Alex didn’t know about him. “My dad said he’ll come over this weekend… Maybe he can make it this time,” She said, half thinking out loud. And who knows? Maybe he did know more than Alex though he did.
