Does your character need to get in contact with Cilan for something? Then you've come to the right place for that!
All you have to do is please title your initial comments with these:
Action | Written | Voice/Video/Messenger Bird/etc. (????) and a date! (example: July 13th or something)
so that I know what method your character is using to try to contact him so that he can respond properly
this post can also be used for continuing threads from events or memes if needed
[Action | Sept. 4th]
He does.
But as long as there aren't any signs of nightmares coming from Cilan and that sharing the bed and/or the Sweet Scent is working Ash will ease himself into some sleep himself. They'll be shifting from the kid, a bit more than there should be, but maybe he's just having difficulty sharing a smallish bed with a second person.
Maybe. Either way sorry if we accidentally smack you in the face as we swing our arm out, Cilan. ]
[Action | Sept. 4th]
That is, until he feels something smack him in the face, waking him up pretty abruptly. It takes a moment, once he's a little more focused, before he realizes it was because Ash's arm hit him, so now he's very gently attempting to move it aside without waking Ash up.
He probably should have foreseen something like this happening with the two of them sharing this bed, but honestly, he's almost a little grateful for the wake up call. Maybe if he's even luckier, he'll be able to lie here and eventually fall back asleep without Ash noticing.]
[Action | Sept. 4th]
However, if Cilan isn't back asleep a moment later Ash will find himself nearly in the same situation as he was before as he wakes up from his sleep once again. He groans a little, shifting onto his back and lays there for a bit, eyes covered by his arm, as he recovers from the dream that woke him up to begin with.
He doesn't think to look to see if Cilan is awake or not, completely unaware that his arm hit his friend and thinking (or hoping) that his wake up didn't wake Cilan up. ]
[Action | Sept. 4th] ...I thought I got to this tag already WHOOPS
...He's not sure if the other's really awake or not, but...]
...Ash? [It's said as quietly as possible--loud enough that he would hear it if he was awake, but quiet enough that it should hopefully not disturb the other if Ash really was still asleep.]
[Action | Sept. 4th] WHOOPS that's okay ~
[ Oops. He responded before he even thought about staying quiet so Cilan thought he was just shifting.
Okay there's a way outta this.
Uh. ]
Ah... Did I wake you up?
[ Oh wait why did we ask that abort abort. ]
Do ya need something?
[ UH ... 8|; ]
[Action | Sept. 4th]
I just wanted to know if you were alright. It sounded like you were shifting around quite a bit.
[So...yeah. Everything okay there, Ash?]
[Action | Sept. 4th]
I'm alright now. It was... just a bad dream. [ Honesty why um um ] Sorry for waking you.
[ Whatever it was that he did. ]
I'll try not to move so much next time.
[Action | Sept. 4th]
...Do you want to talk about it? This dream of yours, I mean.
[Normally, he wouldn't ask, because he can easily assume what the dream was about, but...but this time, he'll take the risk on asking about it.]
[Action | Sept. 4th]
Not really.
[ Though it might help if he did he's just being honest here. He doesn't like having it and talking about it doesn't sound much better.
But there is a moment of silence - hesitation - before he speaks ]
I tried really hard to think of good things before going to sleep. But I still had it. I dunno what to do. I don't wanna go back to sleep.
[ It's really hard when you can normally go from positive to negative but no matter how hard you try it doesnt work. ]
[Action | Sept. 4th]
[If the dream you're talking about is the same one that he's thinking of, that is.]
...But sleep isn't something that you can just simply avoid, Ash--not getting any sleep can cause you to become ill, if you're not careful. [Still...] That said, I don't blame you for not wanting to go back to sleep right away after having those kind of dreams--to be honest, I don't like this taste either, when it comes to the dreams one tends to have here in this place.
[Even when he's not having that dream, there is the occasional nightmare or other about something else that can potentially ruin a night of sleep too.]
[Action | Sept. 4th]
[ It's been months. Some would think an answer would arise already. Or they would have ended. ]
I know it isn't. I'm tryin' to be careful but... but whenever I try ta go back to sleep afterwards it's still there when I close my eyes. [ He pauses for a moment, thinking a little over the last words Cilan said. ] Mm... it's hard but... it'll be okay. Things will work out eventually.
[ Trying to put a positive spin, trying being the keyword. Cilan has been here much longer, hasn't he? So he's had more which means that Ash shouldn't complain too much, right? Well, that and other reasons. Gotta be strong. ]
[Action | Sept. 4th]
After a moment, Cilan sits up and properly turn to look at his friend.]
And don't forget, you've got friends here that you can count on, too. The people and Pokemon we've met here, my Pokemon and I, Charizard, Snivy, and Pikachu...we'll always do our best to do whatever we can to help you here, okay?
[Action | Sept. 4th]
[ He stops and sits up himself to properly turn and look back at Cilan. ]
So thanks. For everything.
[ There's more he could say. More he should say. But 'everything' sums it up,doesn't it?]
[Action | Sept. 4th]
You don't have to thank us, Ash. [But it does make him happy, being appreciated.] It's what friends are for, right?
[Action | Sept. 4th]
Yeah, that's what friends are for.
