Well.

She sits down against the side of the corridor and sighs.

Permalink

He has said all of the things that seem like they might possibly be a good idea to say and then some.

Permalink

Then probably they'll just... sit here.

She would read, but she no longer has a book. She checks her pack for food. There's a little, but not much.

Permalink

"I've got plenty of food. And water."

Permalink

 

"Can I have some."

Permalink

He brings it over to her and sets it down and retreats to his side of the hallway.

Permalink

She eats and drinks and adds a little to her pack.

 

 

"Should we, like, trade off sleeping, or are you just not going to sleep at all until they find us or we find a way out?"

Permalink

"Good question.

 

 

I should probably sleep before we venture off on our own to get the rest of my spells back."

Permalink

"I'll wake you if anything comes by."

Permalink

"Or if you need anything."

Permalink

"Yeah. Sure."

Permalink

He pulls his hood over his head.

She sits. 

After a while she paces, just a few yards along the wall, to make really sure she doesn't fall asleep.

Permalink

He does not appear to stir. 

It's damp and the walls are too mossy to see how they were originally decorated.

She still has his pack. 

Permalink

Oh, right.

...she picks it up, moves it to his side of the hallway, and returns to hers.

She's pretty sure that people wake each other up when they sleep in shifts, normally, but she doesn't really know how to keep time down here and doesn't really want to poke him. Also if they stick to only sleeping during the night then neither of them will be in decent shape.

 

She waits for a long time, pacing and silently telling herself stories.

He wakes up eventually. Looks mildly surprised about it. 

"You should sleep too."

Permalink

"Yeah. I guess."

Permalink

Permalink

Sigh.

She rests her head on her pack and lies down with her face to the wall and curls up and tries to sleep.

Permalink

And he sits there staring at the ceiling. Fazil and Mahdi and Zara are probably having a great time. 

Permalink

Probably.

Eventually she does manage to fall asleep.

Permalink

Before she wakes he gets a message from Fazil, so it must be sunrise outside, too. They made it out safely. They'll try to come back and fetch them. 

He confirms that the two of them are fine.
