Insomnia

[unbridled_strength]

This seems to be a recurring problem, for her. Everything she knows keeps falling away, leaving her standing in the unknown. Small wonder that she can't relax enough to keep her head on a pillow.

She tries to be quiet, as she sneaks outside. It's darker than she's used to, as she makes her way down to the beach. She's still not used to how little light there is, outside of Midgar. But she can see the stars, and perhaps that's a fair trade. She stands in the shore, letting the thin waves wash over her bare feet.

"Me either," he admits. "Do you want to get your shoes?" That will open up some options for them, probably. Not that he really minds carrying her like this.

"That's probably a good idea. You can't carry me around all night."

Not that she minds it. Really, she's emotions it a great deal more than she's letting on. But there's only so long he can carry her before something has to give. Knowing the two of them, it would turn awkward. Better to not get to that point.

A comfortable silence falls over them then, in the few minutes that it takes to get back to the inn. Cloud gently deposits her in front of the door to her room and while he waits for her to grab her shoes, he bends down to properly lace up his own boots this time.
