Jade/Rialynn - Valentine's day special
Not according to Rialynn, who knocked on his door. "Jade, what are you doing? You didn't go to bed?" she was wearing her green nightgown, and she woke up early when she had a dream that Jade was being eaten by shadows. Her heart pounded when she ran to his bedroom, only to find it empty. "You're going to die if you stay up all night every day this week!"
"Nonsense, I'm fine," he responded. He turned around to smile and show his live-in bard how fine he was, only for him to tip out of his chair and onto the floor.
"Jade!" Rialynn gasped and ran over to his side. "Jade, answer me!" She cradled his head on her hand and lifted him up to a sitting position.
"Urg..." Jade help his head. "Why is everything spinning?"
Rialynn managed to wipe off the fear on her face and take on a serious tone. "See, this is why you need to sleep." She pulled him up, wrapped his arm around her shoulders and held his waist with her arm. "I'm taking you to bed."
"But...my studies..." he reached out for his beloved desk and papers to no avail. He was being led into the dark hallway, down to his bedroom, and he was too weak to struggle against Rialynn's grasp, who help him very close. If he asked, she would say it was to be extra sure he didn't collapse again.
She let his drop onto his soft mattress, deciding it would be easier to let him sleep in his work clothes rather than change him into his pajamas. "Wait here, I'll be back. Get some sleep." She walked briskly out of the room.
Jade laid his head on his pillow and stared at the ceiling. His mind was racing with thoughts about the government and military research, and he was certain there was no way he could fall asleep ever. Fortunately, Rialynn returned with her lute.
"Alright," she said and sat on a corner of his bed. "I'll sing something to help you fall asleep."
Jade's eyes widened in surprise. "Oh...thank you." He didn't know what to say. It was awfully nice of the bard he hired, he thought to himself and closed his eyes. As she sang him to sleep, Jade felt the thoughts swirling in his brain slow down. Soon, only her voice occupied his mind, and he drifted into slumber.
Rialynn, noticing that he was snoring, set her lute aside. Morning would soon come, and Jade had a lot of sleep to catch up on. His bed was huge. She lied on the opposite end of the end and covered herself with the blanket. She'd rest for an hour or two, and then she could continue on with her day.
