Hope~

Hope slept for quite a long time. She was so exhausted that her sleep was dreamless and deep. Hours later, she woke up to find that the sun had shifted and it was now late afternoon. She rubbed her eyes and looked around the room, a small smile forming on her lips when she saw that Sky was sound asleep on one of the chairs. The twins must have been outside playing with their pet rabbit. She didn't hear them anywhere in the house, so she figured she would go outside to see what they were up too.

Sky~

*exhaustion from so much energy being used, she slept soundly in the chair, now warmed in a slight amount of sun as she shifted in the sky. The room cozy from her warmth filtering through the large windows helped her stay asleep for some time. She hadn't used so much energy before. Even in battles against the dragon kings or even the shadow demons before them. Restless dreams, not dreams at all. She seemed to be searching unconsciously about the cottage and grounds for any more signs left behind by the crone. Nothing was showing itself to her. Eventually, she shifted and woke slowly from her nap, the glass in her hand almost falling to the stone tiles making her suddenly jolt awake. She breathed a relieved sigh as she caught the glass and placed her other hand against her chest to calm her nerves.* just a glass... *she reminded herself in a hushed tone. She sat there and listened to the sounds of their cottage for a while longer, collecting her thoughts.*

Hope watched as she fell from the chair. Still sluggish from sleep, she wasn't able to get to Sky in time to prevent the impact of her hitting the floor. Thankfully, Sky seemed unharmed, and more startled than anything else. By the time Hope was off the couch and by her aunt's side, Sky was up and back in her chair.

Sky~

That is the last time I sit with a glass in my hand... *she breathed out, leaning back still in the chair. She let out a long sigh as she felt embarrassed at her own silliness. She looks started as Hope was standing in front of her so suddenly. Now she felt even more embarrassed for having not actually had so much power exhurstion under control. She faked a smile at her niece* did you rest well, my dear child? *trying to make sure she did not see that she woke herself up by almost dropping the glass from her hand.*

Hope~

"I slept fine. What about you? You looked like you were in a pretty deep sleep." Hope had seen her nearly drop the glass, but she wasn't going to say anything that would further embarrass her clearly flustered aunt. The glass hadn't broken, and Sky hadn't hurt herself. There was no need to discuss it any further.

Sky~

More restless, I think. *she played with the glass in her hand, staring at it absently before setting it upon the small table nearby. She let out a small sigh and then smiled when she looked back at her niece.* at least you got some good rest. You passed out before your head hit that pillow, I feel. *she now smirked at her with a tiny giggle* maybe we did a little too much magic today. Yet, one cannot always control what is going on while performing spells. Case and point with what we just had to deal with. Life lessons apparently are in full swing around here for you. *she gave a shrug and then made to stand up, smoothing out her outfit.* food and then maybe we should get some relaxing shower or bath in... maybe a change in clothing? *she had to giggle at the last bit when she realized her own dress was torn in places at this point.* alas, it goes with the territory some days. All that matters is that we got everything done, I think. I sensed as I slept. *shaking her head* i felt nothing else remaining from my slumber. We shall just keep our senses up for any thing remaining.*
