Who: Rider (Iskandar), Waver Velvet
When: somewhere between March 10 and March 21
Where: Iskandar's Temple
What: Somebody is not getting enough sleep.
[In theory they all don't need to sleep now.
However, Iskandar would argue. The simple fact that he can get away without sleeping doesn't mean that he should or would like to. He or anybody else for that matter. So when he starts waking in the middle of the night at first he doesn't know why.
Oh, he had his share of sleepless nights in the past and yes, recent events were quite stressful. Still, if it were his usual round of nightmares he would at least remember something. Not wake up with a faint feeling of terror and then stare at the ceiling until morning because he's getting this suffocating sense of dread whenever he closes his eyes.
It doesn't take a lot to see the connection between his sleepless nights and Waver looking absolutely exhausted in the morning the following day. There are a couple of things that could make a man look exhausted after a sleepless night but they all have different symptoms. If they really must be miserable together Iskandar would certainly prefer for it to be caused by any of the above activities.
Still, none of those leaves one looking as if he was gnawed upon and then spit out. All right. Maybe excessive drinking does. Still, if Waver had gone binge drinking Iskandar would know. Most probably would go with him. But sadly nothing of that sort happened.
Next time when he's up again in the middle of the night with that same, fleeting echo of dread Iskandar knows what to do. He gets up, puts some clothes on and goes to check on Waver.
And there he is. Not sleeping and looking rather pale.]
Trouble sleeping, hm?
