Ember is amenable to being leaned on!

"Is there anything else you need right away?"

Nothing she's capable of communicating with words, apparently?

(...It does not take that much in the way of observational skills to see that she's verrrrrry tired.)

It's the middle of the day and Ember doesn't have a house, which might make it harder to help her, but she'll do her best.

"Do you want to find somewhere to lie down and sleep? I have a little alcove that's dry and not too cold."

Wuh- oh.

She nods tiredly. Sleep sounds... nice.

Ember's alcove is built into the side of a larger building. It has a little blanket lying on some straw, a straw pillow, and a nest for Soot. She hands the blanket and pillow to Muvaki.

Muvaki accepts them gratefully (well, for her) and curls up on the straw bed. 

(... and now she's... shaking again?)

"Do you want help falling asleep? I have a little magic trick that can make it easier."

She thinks about it for a while and then nods.

Slumber.

It'll only make her sleep for a few moments, but if she wants to stay asleep after that it won't be hard to just... not wake up when it wears off.

Well, on the one hand, she's exhausted and did specifically ask to be put to sleep. 

On the other hand: the horrors! 

(She's still asleep, for now, but she's pretty clearly having a nightmare.)

Ember doesn't really have any tricks for nightmares, and if she wakes up Muvaki she won't be able to help her get to sleep again. She curls up in a little ball, knees under her chin, and watches her sleep with a look of concern.

She cuts another throat, and another, and there's so much blood and there keep being more cultists she needs to kill before she can be sa- before she can escape - 

She squirms, face furrowed in obvious distress.

Her lower legs brush against where Ember is curled near her feet, and - stay there, apparently?

Soot flaps over to curl up on top of her legs.

She stirs a bit, curling downwards. She's clinging to the pillow instead of resting her face on it.

She's clinging to the bars of the cell - there's so much blood - 

Quietly, so she won't wake her up, Ember hums an elven lullaby.

This actually seems to help! Muvaki is still curled up in a ball around her pillow, but her breathing seems calmer, and her face is less-obviously distressed.

She's glad she found something that seems to be helping! She's perfectly content to keep it up.

As she calms down, she uncurls slowly. 

...if she keeps uncurling she's going to bump her head, actually? She moved too much earlier. 

Can she very very gently reposition herself and try to nudge Muvaki's head away from the side of the alcove?

Probably, though she stirs vaguely uncomfortably when nudged? (...or, more precisely, when Ember's hand withdraws post-nudge.)

In that case she'll put it back!

'snice 

(Her face settles into an expression you could almost describe as restful.)
