[ if he told her she'd back off!!!!!!!! but how are you gonna say "sorry i got surgery and it made me so horny i can't think straight". i get it. you can't. there's too much. ]
Great! I'll bring snacks when you're feeling better, so what pairs well with your favorite? Shortbread? I really like those little jam-filled ones too, with the flower designs where the filling makes up the middle... they're so cute.
I haven't found a favorite-favorite yet, but I do love more floral tastes! Like rosehip and the cherry blossom tea they had during Hanami. I think I'd like to try... lavender next. The chamomile you suggested really helped, by the way! I've been sleeping easier since I started having a cup before bed.
[ easier doesn't mean out like a light, but. easier. ]
... I don't know if it's always been this way, but it has here. I didn't need to sleep back in the City.
[ did elijah have issues, too? or could she close her eyes and be out in seven? ]
The Library took care of all our needs so we could always be on call (though we could take naps and eat for fun, basically) and even in my job before I hadn't required it.
[ way convenient. but food tastes so much better when you're hungry, and sleep is comforting when you feel too tired to be awake. it's helped her understand the vices of her coworkers, the life elijah once led as well. ]
Thanks for the thought anyway, Wriothesley. It means a lot.
Should I tie a rope to your ankle and camp out at the bottom of your bed each night?
[ No, that's a bad joke. ]
I don't think there's anything we can do to stop that from happening, regardless of how much we wish otherwise. But I do hope for your sake that doesn't happen, and you wake up each morning exactly where you want to be, for many days to come.
[ scandalous. but she huffs a soft laugh, grateful. ]
I think I'll be sleeping more easily tonight than most thanks to you and your well-wishes, at the very least. I hope the same for you, Wriothesley, and that I've been a good distraction while you suffer from whatever inconvenience's plaguing you.

Shortbread sounds perfect. Though you'll have to tell me your favorite tea as well so I can prepare it.

And that's good to hear. [ although.... ] Has it always been a problem for you, having trouble sleeping?

[ though it certainly doesn't sound that way now. ]
Unfortunately I don't have any other suggestions for you to try. I've had my fair share of sleepless nights but those have long since passed.

Did you used to have a lot of nightmares?
no subject
I did. Though most of the time I was afraid of going to sleep rather than scared of what sleep might bring.
no subject
Because you didn't think you'd wake up?

[ Surprisingly so, despite his expectations. He doesn't need any truth-speaking effect to say those words genuinely. ]
Pleasant dreams when you get there, Malkuth.
