Late Start

JP with Omni and Lorem:

Gonyaul was the first to wake and he tried his best to relocate Voah to the bedding. He thought he woke her in the process, but she was fast to fall back to sleep. He on the other hand had a lot on his mind and found it difficult to rest. This called for meditation.

Sitting next to her in bed in a meditative position, eyes wrapped, and breathing slow and steady Gonyaul let himself investigate and connect the questions which the meeting had generated. He did not go as deep as the Emuy, but remained just above in order to have more navigation on where his thinking and feeling went.

It was in this state that he would remain till Voah woke. The longer he did so, the calmer and more mindful he felt.

She couldn't remember the dream except for the last few seconds. The hound was staring at her, his milky eyes began to glow white until it swallowed her vision. She woke with a start inside the hovel.

Gonyaul couldn’t see Voah, his eyes were wrapped in his culture’s meditation bandage. He did hear her stir. On top of that he had been listening to her making interesting comments and sounds, both incomprehensible, but it made him think she may have been experiencing a bad dream. Without moving a muscle from his pose yet, he spoke softly.

“Nighthorse?” He just ruined any chance of appearing like a wise sage with his miss-wording. “Mean, nightmare? Mare?”

Voah sighed and answered with a reluctant, “Yes…”

Looking to her wounded arm, she swallowed hard, pushing the thoughts away.

“What is the hour?”

Gonyaul unwrapped his eyes and put a reassuring hand on her shoulder. He crawled out of the bed and walked over to the door to take a peek outside.

He came back to her side. “Middle of day.”
