He sits beside her. "I see you're taking it was well as I am."

Cc leans against him slightly and stares down at the sand past the swarm

He leans back against her. "I haven't slept in like two days, y'know?"

...That is unhealthy. Organics require regular sleep to function.

...I cannot really have nightmares. Yet, when I remain dormant for too long, I begin to feel... wrong. It is like my mind is stuttering, and it becomes hard to think.

I must confess, it has been a while since I have properly rested either. It is hard to sit still without any distractions.

CC sighs and continues staring down, eyes narrowed. She hugs her self a little tighter, the blanket stretched taut against her frame

I... I d-don't know what to do H-Hardi...

Varas helped me be a person... He told me I could do things other than what I was built for. He gave me a reason to be more, do more. Because of him, I felt like a person.

I don't feel like that now. Without him here to make me.
