Another one about making people sleep...
"Are you still awake?"
"I think you need to rest..."
"I'm getting worried about you, you know."
"You really do need to sleep."
"It's okay to be tired."
"You can rest your head on my lap... if that'll help?"
"Let me stroke your hair..."
"I just want you to feel better."
"You would feel better if you actually slept."
"The last time that you actually, really rested..?"
"Sh, sh, it's okay. You're overtired, that's all."
"Okay, I have you, just... relax. Let yourself relax."
"I worry about you, you know. How little you sleep."
"I hear you walking about at night, when you think everyone's asleep."
"I know that you're pretending."
"I'm really not that tired. Promise."
"I'm just a bit... uh. Just... just a bit... I'll be okay in a moment."
"You're swaying so badly you can barely stand!"
"You have to rest! I'm not taking no for an answer!"
"Don't worry about me this is - this is normal -"
"You keep yawning like that you might break your jaw."
"It's nice. Warm. Cosy. Come to bed."
"I just want you to actually rest, for once. Please."
"You have to actually relax."
"Take a breath. Lean back. Close your eyes."
"When's the last time you trusted someone enough to do this?"
"I want you to actually try. That's all."
"Would you let me try something?"
"This is not normal. Even for you."
"I'll get you a heated blanket, warm milk, blackout curtains, anything. Just go to sleep."
The creature moving made Carl tense, immediately regretting his decision to kick it. Seriously, hadn't he learnt by now not to touch things that could kill him? Survival 101, Grimes. Before he can think of his next move, the beast was teetering towards him - teeth bared and pupils narrowed and it roared.
Carl flinched backwards, boots slipping on the mud beneath him and losing balance. The teen ends up on the cold, wet floor, the impact momentarily winding him. His knife had fallen, landing somewhere in the mess of foliage and wet dirt beneath him. It was difficult to focus on that when there was a... dragon? An actual DRAGON holy shit -
Unsure of what else to do, Carl throws up his hands defensively. Hopes that not having a weapon anymore would make him seem like less of a threat, less like someone who was worth killing. Especially when nobody knew he was out here.
" I'm sorry, I didn't - I wasn't going to hurt you, I swear, " the world's fall from the teen's lips before he can stop them, eye squeezing shut and hoping for some form of mercy.
The massive, shadowy beast groaned softly in response to the slight pressure against one of his rear legs. He could feel the monotonous pattering of rain against his scales, but the sensation of some wet, leathery object was a stand-out stimuli.
A striking green eye cracked open, pupil slitting as it focused on the figure beside it.
It was a....they didn't have a name for them where he came from. His flock, in the times before they disappeared, had always warned him that they were dangerous. The other creature standing over him didn't look dangerous.
But then the glint of a knife caught his eye.
The dragon's lips pulled back, exposing sharp teeth that glinted dangerously with each flash of lightning overhead. Self preservation was all the motivation he needed to shift his body around and raise himself back onto all fours.
His head was throbbing with pain from his fall and his tail felt...strange, but all that mattered now was protecting himself.
The Night Fury, the unholy offspring of lightning and death itself, took a wobbly step towards the boy and roared.
