Subconsciously, he hears Rezo's reassurance, and the dream changes shape once more.
Rezo has not abandoned him. He's right here.
Thank goodness.
Everything is fine... Is everything fine? He isn't sure of that. But he would like to believe it, if only for now. His breathing steadies, and his sleep is uneventful after that.
It's about thirty minutes past the two hour mark when he blearily awakens. Despite his fatigue, there's too much tension in his body to stay asleep much longer than this. As he lifts his head, he's met with light resistance: strands of his wiry hair poked into the armchair's fabric. It's the least of anyone's problems, but he's a little embarrassed.
The clock on the wall says he overslept. Did Rezo decide against waking him?
...Ha. They've both gotten soft, huh. ]
I'm up.
[ And he'd better be able to finally get up. Come on, chimera body, show him what you're good for.
One, two...
He pulls himself to his feet, swaying lightly. Probably should have taken that more slowly. Ugh, he's going to have to be really careful about how much magic he expends. ]
