"I really hope not."

Hug.

Hug. "You are soooo good at hugs," she says contentedly.

"Thank you, I'm very proud of this accomplishment." Snuggle.

Mmm cozy contented snuggles.

Nerine wakes up.

There's some chance that was actually just a dream, but... nah.

She gets out of bed and yawns and stretches and goes to see if everybody in the common room is waking up too.

Everyone in the common room is waking up! One of the more swiftly-lucid demons hugs her and then trots off to retrieve garments.

It's so cute how nice they are all of a sudden. She's very charmed.

Well, some of them appear to have been rendered nigh-catatonic by guilt.

That is less cute and more concerning! Well. Understandable, but concerning.

Khythen pushes himself up groggily.

And we're back to cute.

"Hi,' he says to her. "Nice to see you in the world of the waking again."

"Nice to see you too." Kiss. "...I hope those guys are going to be okay."

Kiss. "...I hope so too. But I wouldn't bet on it, not for all of them."

Sigh. Hug.

Snuggle.

The other demon comes back with clothes. They're all too big for her, but they can be made to stay on anyway.

"Thanks!" Helpful demon can have a hug and a kiss on the cheek and then she puts on clothes and hugs Khythen again. "...I wanna be introduced to people, it's weird not knowing your names."

"I'm Rrhotehk," clothes demon offers.

"I'm Nerine! Nice to meet you!"

He smiles wryly. "I'm glad."

Awwww. She smiles fondly at him.

He smiles back. "That's Fythkyre," he adds, gesturing at another demon stirring near their feet. It's Bone Demon.

"Ooh, I remember him."
