1x1 with SnowRunners

[SecretShadows]

Ryuu remained at his father's side the entire night without any sleep. He sighs softly when morning came and sees a few more people coming in to help the king get better, they told him to get some rest but he didn't move. Emma and Max started waking up and went down stairs.

[Berenice]

Eli got up pretty early and went downstairs. Seeing that Ryuu wasn't anywhere to be seen, she knocked on his fathers door and peeked her head in. "Oh, you're still here." She bought he would've at least tried to get so sleep or something.

[SecretShadows]

Ryuu turned his head towards the door and sees Eli then nods tiredly as he said: "Yeah... are you alright? I didn't mean to make you mad last night." He slowly stood up and walked over towards her

[Berenice]

"I wasn't mad. I just didn't want to leave you. You weren't the first person to suggest that I head to bed so I got slightly annoyed. But, I really think you should. Please, Ryuu." Eli answered, putting a hand on his arm.

[SecretShadows]

Ryuu looked at Eliza and softly said: "Dont know if I will be able to sleep, there is so much going on and I don't think it would allow me to even sleep." He placed his arms around her and rested his head on her shoulder, he was really tired but even more stressed.

[Berenice]

"Ryuu, just do as I ask and go to bed. I'm being serious because being tired and stressed will make everything worse." She told him with a pretty serious tone.

[SecretShadows]

Ryuu stayed silent for a small while then said: "I am both but I won't be able to sleep, my mind would wonder around to much, I don't know what to do anymore Eli." He slowly lifts his head.

[Berenice]

Eli sighed at the fact hat he didn't know what to do. "Ryuu, everything will be fine. There's nothing much you can do so stop stressing. I understand you are worrying but by doing so it will make it all worse. Get some rest." She answered.

[SecretShadows]

Ryuu gave a quick nod then said: "I'll try... could you stay with me till I fall asleep maybe? You calm me down more." He closed his eyes slowly as a remained holding her.

[Berenice]

"Of course. As long as you rest, I don't mind. That's probably the first time you've done something I've asked." Eli laughed slightly, trying not to get too upset about everything going on.
