[It was the middle of the night, or middle of the morning, whichever you want to call it. For most here, the art of sleep may have been... sort of an odd ritual than normal, with the constant reoccurring dreams. Emizel had been good about it not bothering him that much for quite some time. Many demons had a habit for staying awake for days on end and then sleeping all that time off later. Which may have been part of the case here, only now, this time the dreams were really starting to get to him.]

[Getting to sleep wasn't the hard part, it was trying to stay there. Rolling to a different side, curling up, straightening out, lie on his back, neither of those things were making anything different. Still the same dream, still the same memory. Being abandoned was bad enough just the first time, of course he didn't want to be reminded of it another twenty times more.]

[The next time Emizel woke up he got so fed up that he chucked the pillow across the room, disrupting the Spirits. From there he sat up and brought his knees to his chest.]

... I'm not allowed to forget, am I? [Buries face.]

[... Alright alright. Maybe there was something that could distract him from this. A minute or so later he looked up to the nightstand and grabbed the device, and clicked it open. There had to be something else going on..]

((If I know whenever or not Emizel is freelancing hotels again, or if he's staying with the Tea Shop gang or Days Trio by now, this post may double as an action one too))

Something terrible always seems to happen eventually.

[Does Ienzo sound bitter? Yes, definitely.]

[A similar situation? Appeared sort of likely.]

... I had pretty much lost everything.

[Actually it wasn't just some, it really was everything.]

Did you get it back?

[He's not sure if he's gotten his home back. Hopefully Emizel's situation is better.]

I did, that's why I shouldn't be bothered by it.

[Although, maybe it's because he's scared of loosing it again.]

You can be afraid of losing things again, particularly once you've realized that what seems like safety isn't. I understand that feeling.

[Never mind, that sounded exactly like it.]

... What do I do?

I wish I knew. [Ienzo sighs.] Find people you can trust. Rely on the fact that they'll stand by you and take care of you when you need it. That's a start.

[... Finding more people like that was easier said than done. Emizel didn't seem to get along with that many people as it is.]

Hmm..

You should stay and meet my housemates. They're both quiet pleasant people. They won't mind if you stay the night; if we can put up people who passed out drunk, we can put up more responsible individuals.

[What? He can do that?] ... Really?

[Moxie also really liked the idea of a sleep over too~ 8D]

Of course. Whether you sleep or not, you're welcome to stay.

[Wait no, he can't be that wibbly and soft! He's supposed to be a tough demon after all.]

M-maybe just this once! [Except he did sort of like not being alone]

[Ienzo nods.]

Whatever you would prefer.

I'll stay.

Excellent. Would you like to come upstairs? We can stay here and snack a bit more, as well.

I wanna see upstairs. [His drink was mostly finished anyway. A little exploring couldn't hurt that much]

Alright.

[Ienzo stands.]

Let me straighten up a bit and then we can go up.

[He moves to put the cookies away, nudging Lea into wakefulness. Lea rolls over and barks sleepily at Moxie.]

[Moxie wagged his tail and barked back, this was gonna be soooo exciting 8D]

[Whenever Ienzo was ready then, Emizel was set to go.]

Come along, then. Aeleus and Namine should be sleeping, so we need to be quiet.

[Ienzo headed up the stairs. Lea trotted up after him, wagging his tail and generally getting underfoot. The room upstairs was an open living room and kitchen together, and quite large. There was a clear seating area with cushions on the floor; somewhat nestlike in a way.]

[Pretty impressive. It was hard to believe there would be this much space upstairs.] Wow..

[Val took off from Emizel's head and landed somewhere in the kitchen area... either in search of food or looking at whatever kinds of food there actually was..... Already making himself right at home, apparently.]

We kept the space open because at the time, it was only myself and Namine. We've had to restructure somewhat.

[Lea waddled over to flop down in the pillows, though he was apparently well-trained enough not to bark when people were sleeping nearby.]

Do you really have room for everyone? [Because two might've sound a little reasonable, but three? And himself?]

I'd have to inquire about adding another permanent resident, but houseguests are allowed.

[Permanent resident? Kind of a little amazed Ienzo would think that far.]

[Welp if there was room for more, Moxie was going to take a comfy pillow too, and mutter softly.]

It looks as if the meow wows are already settling in. The pillows are quite comfortable.
