Squirrelly Days - Rammu

024 - Chyla

Rolling over, Chyla stared up at her dimly lit ceiling and groaned loudly.

'''

Chyla: I really thought Yineh would show up and comfort me... *depressed sigh* I guess she's already lost interest in me... I guess I'll start the day... I'm sore, but I'm sick of laying here.

'''

Rolling up, Chyla picked up a brush and stared at herself in the mirror for a moment before tossing the brush aside while declaring it didn't matter if no one cared.

After throwing on her uniform, Chyla lethargically made her way out to the trainee common where Reteh and Demoron were sipping tea together.

'''

Reteh: I think you look cute all messy, but I'd be happy to comb your fur for you if your arms are too sore.

Chyla: *blushing smile* T-thank you... but I don't know, it's already really late in the morning. *hesitant* Where's Yineh and Wafit?

Reteh: I assumed Yi-su was with you.

Chyla: *dismayed* Nope... I haven't seen her since last night when they broke off to spy on Teran and his mother.

Reteh: *concerned hum*

Demoron: Now the question is, did she get herself into so much trouble that she was forced to work all through the night, or did she get into some crazy sex thing with Te-su and/or his mother?

Reteh: I'd really like to think it was the latter, but I'm almost certain it's the former.

Demoron: On the topic of missing people, we should probably check in on Lina since Viv's not here.

Chyla: I'll do it.

'''

Making her way over to Lina's room, Chyla knocked a few times before poking her head through the curtain to find Lina sleeping sprawled out on her back with a book wedged open underneath her.

'''

Chyla: My-my, how can you even sleep like that...

'''

Chyla made her way over to Lina and pulled the book out from under her, then began shaking her gently.

'''

Chyla: Come on Li-li wake up, you're starting to scare me.

'''

Feeling as confused and helpless as she had been with Kion Chyla froze in place and stared at Lina for a few moments until she opened her eyes and yawned.

'''

Lina: Moring Viv... wait, you're neet Viv...

'''

Chyla pulled Lina into a hug and cried quietly into her shoulder.

'''

Lina: *confused* W-what's going on?

Chyla: Sorry, I was shaking you, and you wouldn't wake up, and it just freaked me out a bit.

Lina: Jsha, sorry about that. Viv was teasing me about that, too. I've been told in the past I was a heavy sleeper, but until Viv was teasing me about it, I didn't realize how much so. I had nee idea people could pick me up and move me around while I was sleeping... It's kind of unnerving when I think about it. *awkward laughter*

'''

Chyla took a deep breath, then let go of Lina and stared into her eyes.
