Chapter Seventeen: A Small Snack

I woke up for no reason at all.

I was just sleeping blissfully away and then pop! my eyes are open and I can't fall asleep again. I figured that this would happen some time, my insomnia acting up again. I was surprised that I'd been able to sleep so deeply in the palace.

My cousin was gone, but I was still on the couch, curled up with a blanket on. I supposed I looked to comfortable to relocate, so someone must've thrown a blanket on me and was done with it.

I couldn't hear Nunarae, I noticed, so she must've been sleeping too. I wondered if it was comfortable, sleeping in an ear piece.

I sat up and yawned, keeping the blanket pulled around my shoulders tightly. I walked over to the kitchen and began digging around for food, as I had skipped dinner.

"A little late, isn't it?"

I almost screamed. I was lucky I had so much internal composure that I only squeaked. I whirled around to see Lance there, and I relaxed.

"I'd like to say the same. Why're you awake?" I asked, continuing my search for food.

"This isn't the palace, y'know?" His voice was slightly slurred, and husky from sleep. His hair looked like a place a rat would sleep.

"Indeed." I frowned. "But you still look horrible."

"Handsome enough for you to talk to, though." He made a pair of finger guns and winked at me.

I rolled my eyes, and pulled out some bread and some sort of red jelly. Looked good enough. I spread the stuff on a slice and took a bite.

"So... Do you have any plans for the Galra?" He asked.

I swallowed. "Get in there, cause chaos, get the prisoners out, cause more chaos, leave." I listed

He nodded. "Sounds about right."

I smiled. "Go sleep. It's like, what, 2 AM?" I rubbed my eyes, and took another bite.

"Yeah, yeah. See you in the morning." He muttered, and left.

When I was done, I sauntered back to the couch and fell back asleep.
