Sadde is home; it's a Friday evening, his shift is over, and there's no school. He's reading a book, lying on his bed in his small-but-tidy apartment.
He is also quite naked, because it's his place and why not?
Glam and Ashras in Wormverse

...It's possible that someone should set up the bigger bed before they fall asleep in this one. Snuggles are cozy.
mxglam
Yeah. Yeah probably. "Should I set up the bigger bed before we fall asleep in this one? Also, should we take a shower?" Because in spite of arcane artefacts they have been doing some amount of exercise there.
the-long-dawn
"Setting up the bigger bed sounds like a plan," he yawns. "I think I care much less about showers than you do."
mxglam
"I like going to bed feeling clean," she giggles, kissing his nose and getting up to grab the inflatable mattress.
the-long-dawn
"Reasonable," he acknowledges, trailing after her to interfere in her important task with hugs.
mxglam
That's a nice interference! She does need to get the bed, though, so eventually it'll have to end.
mxglam
And when he does, she leaves the imaginary inflating apparatus to work, throws the bedsheets on it for when it's fully inflated, kisses Ashras, and goes to the bathroom.
the-long-dawn
An all-around reasonable itinerary!
He's a little tired. Maybe he will curl up next to the bed. And believe in the inflating apparatus a lot.

mxglam
The inflating apparatus should be done by the time she's out of the shower.
"Do you maybe want to do that thing you're doing on the bed, with me?"

So the inflating thing is gone, the bed now has sheets and pillows on it, and they are now cuddling again.
mxglam
Awwwww. He's so cute when he's asleep. And also when not. Like, cute all the time. Much cuteness. Cuteness abounds.
His even breathing soon lulls her to sleep, too.

And they sleep very cozily and Ashras gets up in the middle of the night and goes home to start reading Aristotle.

Huh.
Well, anyway. He acquires more education and reluctantly decides it wouldn't be an effective use of his time to learn ancient Greek and compiles his experimental results and reluctantly decides it wouldn't be an effective use of his time to create a font he can use to type familiar languages on the computer and emails Sadde at four-thirty in the morning to say You're delightful, when should we do this again? and wrestles with computer-assisted design software to come up with new blueprints to test for next time and wishes anyone else was awake at five o'clock and goes to sleep.

Yeah, pretty much no one else is awake at five in the goshdarn AM. When Sadde wakes up, she checks her emails as part of her morning routine, and grins.
I don't have to work this Sunday.

It's kind of annoying being the only person on the planet who sleeps like an Aluvai. But he'll survive. He's up again at about ten in the morning to respond.
Sounds good.

I'm very enthusiastic about power testing, but not opposed to variation. Did you have something in mind?
