Literally the worst
GreyZuka said:Lilith Tennant
Lilly slept uneasily. Unlike Grey, Lilly would do anything to avoid sleeping. Train with her sword to all hours of the day and night, drink Ale, polish her armor, sharpen her sword. Anything to avoid her dreams were she had no control. That's the thing that terrified her the most, the brave warrior could face any adversity as long as she was the one in control, swinging her sword or bellowing her lungs.
But in dreams, she had no control. She would just relive old memories long since past, the rough hands and her unheard screams. She clenched Grey's hand and with a start she sat bolt upright with sweat pouring down her frame, shaking visibly. Her screams echoing in her own mind, though her lip's were closed in the real world. She sat like this, heaving, collecting her thoughts for the longest time. Eyes gradually going from petrified, to hard, eyebrows narrowing sternly along with it. Creating that shell over herself.
After some time she turned her head, spotting Grey still sitting beside the couch, her green eyes drifting down to her fingers still entwined in his. Her eyes narrowing further in her curiosity.
The man so fond of sleep, had stayed by her couch all night, awake. This confused her to no end, was it not he that was always complaining of being tired? Why would he of all people stay awake just to watch over her? To keep his promise?
As the questions raced, giving her a headache in the process, she though to slip her fingers away from his hand. But... she didn't. Every time she went to she found her fingers only clenching harder, as if to tell her, don't you dare! To hold him there, beside her, to prevent him from leaving if he had the intention.
If he had stayed all night by her side, it would be weird he would suddenly up and leave, right? What would one more day be her mind thought? But her eyes must have seen something in his posture, so her fingers refused to let go.

As dawn broke Lil suddenly sat bolt upright, pale faced and with her chest heaving. He should have known, he couldn't help her, not truly. He was too weary to help her. He needed to be able to set down his burden if he ever was going to take hers, but... he had forgotten how to do that. He had carried his guilt and his shame for so long they were a part of him and if he were to let go he wouldn't know how to live anymore. And anyways, it was his fate to carry this burden, he couldn't set it down even if he knew how. And he wouldn't. And that's why he needs to leave. How can he expect to help Lil leave the abyss behind when he's already fallen in? All he could do is drag her in along with him.
Grey gently removes his hand from hers and stands up. He gives her one last sad, broken smile, before turning to leave with an air of finality. This was for the best...
Right?
