He heard movement- Rasiel returning to the room. What should he do? Was he going to leave? Was he going to touch him again? He curled himself tighter, becoming as small as he possibly could. He didn't want to be touched anymore - not right now. He wanted to sleep... to rest... to not think. But above all, he wanted the voices to stop talking to him - they were confusing and he was too tired to sort them out.

"....okay..." Again his body answered without him really thinking about it - perhaps he wasn't as in control as he thought he was. Either way, he wasn't moving, and Rasiel wasn't making an attempt to get him. His voice sounded... different. Like he had in the beginning - Rhun? Was Rhun a separate personality, now? Someone completely different?

Rhun was so much calmer... maybe he could handle Rhun. He waited for several minutes before slowly uncurling himself, and then hesitantly pulled the blanket down enough to peer out into the room. Alone. Rasiel -- or Rhun -- was gone, for now. He blinked, eyes wandering over the room for a real examination, one that he hadn't gotten earlier... It seemed nice enough, cozy, meant for one person... A sinking feeling started up in his stomach - would... he return and want to finish?

He'd have to deal with that when the time came. For now, he pulled the blankets up over his head, and nestled in to attempt sleep.

Please let me rest... I'm so tired...

Sleep.
Deal with him when he returns.
Have your decision made.

Do you love him?
Or do you love the idea of him?
Pick one.


After a few minutes of letting his breathing even out, he passed on into blissful unconsciousness.
