Sigh.

'What the hell is wrong with me? I've never had trouble falling asleep, so why now?'  Leona thought.

He tossed and turned, but no matter the position, he couldn't get comfortable. From on his back, to his stomach; the second-born prince couldn't drift off to sleep. A deep breath filled his lungs, his chest slowly moving up, then down. Putting in effort into nearly anything was a chore for him, but he had to try something. 

As much as he tried, Leona could not get comfortable enough. An irritating headache started to creep its way into the man. He felt tired, so why couldn't he just go to sleep? His shoulders were tense, his back sore, and his limbs stiff. It was so out of character for him.

Sitting up, Leona reached up to rub his temples. Brows furrowed while he took another deep, irritable breath. Opening his eyes, Leona glanced over to his phone on his nightstand. An idea popped into his head.

Oh, the irony of that last message. Placing down his phone, Leona stood up lazily and ran a hand through his hair. Leona took steps forward and walked down to his balcony. A warm breeze flowed through his loosened braids, the air humid. Though the sun was down, the nights in Savannah Claw weren't that different from the day. 

Bending down, the lion folded his arms and rested them on the railing of the balcony. Tilting his head up, Leona stared mindlessly at a bright crescent moon, stars surrounding the moon here and there. His ear twitched as a knock sounded at the door and broke him out of his mindless state.
