(Day 1/Day 2) ==> Adelle: Go the fuck to sleep.

Your name is ADELLE PTEROI and you are currently Done with the world.

You will be un-Done with everything in a few more hours, but for now you don't actually feel like dealing with...anything. Your reserves of FUCKS TO GIVE have run dry after having to mercykill your lusus, and you know no one else should have to deal with that with how everything is right now. So you decided to just go to sleep and recover those reserves for tomorrow.

(You hope there will be no nightmares, except you're not sure that you'll get that respite.)

Of course, in most of your dreams you are not a lucid dreamer, nor do you usually dream with this much clarity. But not tonight.

((OOC: Adelle is dreaming of the dreambubbles! Fellow players with sleeping dreamselves can come meet him, even across sessions. FEEL FREE TO USE BRACKET TEXT INSTEAD if this homestuck narration ain't your thing.))

Ufufufu, thank you.

[For a lot of things, he supposes. He smiles at Ilya, cheeks flushed at the compliment.]

It's nice to see your impeccable taste too.

[Oh. Oh he was so pretty. He was so pretty and he's smiling and his cheeks were a bit purple and Ilya can distinctly feel his heart flutter and it's really weird but also nice at the same time.

He feels himself grinning a bit, another rarity for him.]

Oh, uhm. Thanks. This wasn't what I was wearing when I passed out, but I can't complain.

[And his smile just... grows, it was so genuine too.]

It's such a pleasure and an honor to meet you like this. In person. ...Sort of.

[Don't mind him, Adelle, when he takes your hand gently, bowing over it. He knew seadwellers were the highest of highbloods and he was just looking for an excuse to make this okay, but he's kissing the back of his hand before letting it go.

Ever the gentleman.]

[There's something about Ilya's smile that makes Adelle feel relieved, and glad. At least today he seems to have been able to make someone happy, even with everything that's happened. He finds himself smiling back and then --

Oh.

...Oh.

He can't stop the flush on his cheeks from growing deeper.]

It's -- a pleasure to meet you too. For real. Or as close as it gets, anyway. I'd return the favour but you seem to be wearing gloves...

[...Welp there went all smoothness out the window.]

[It was worth it. The gesture and being awkward about it was incredibly worth it. The smile and the flush, it made his stomach grow warm. Straightening then, pausing a moment.]

...Do you really want to?

[Another light pause before he takes off one of his gloves.]

[...Oh.

Oh my god he really did it.

Adelle is surprised at first, but quickly regains his composure to attempt something like cool smoothness. He takes Ilya's hand, kissing it and smiling back up at him.]

[Not only did he attempt calm smoothness, he achieved it. In spades. Ilya feels his breath catch as he looks down to him, Adelle still holding his hand and the feel of his lips still making his skin tingle.

He... didn't know what to say, really. All he can do is just return the smile.]

[Gosh, he really does look quite handsome with a smile...

Adelle pulls back, though he doesn't quite let go of the Ilya's hand just yet.]

...You're rather warm, actually.

[He notes Adelle still has his hand, but he finds himself not minding in the least. It made him feel calm, and considering all that has happened today, he needed calm.]

...Am I?

[That's when he truly notes that Adelle is rather cool to touch, but it doesn't deter him in the least. It just makes him curious.]

Is that bad?

Oh, no, not at all! It's fairly pleasant, actually.

Oh... I'm glad, then.

[Tone softer with a hint of a smile. And now he's really taking him in. He had been rather intent on making the eye contact, as Adelle's eyes were unlike any he has ever seen, but... now was the genuine curiosity at being face to face with an alien.

So he tilts his head to the side, looking at the fins... gills? he wasn't sure, but they looked lovely. Then his gaze lifts to look at the elegant curve of the candy corn colored horns. ...Ah.

He was staring and ogling more than he should.

Immediately he flushes a darker shade of pink, looking a little ashamed at how ignorant he was being.]

A-Ah. ...Sorry, I shouldn't stare- it's rude.

[Once Adelle notices Ilya's been staring he just...blushes even harder, even when he's reaching a hand up to try and cover a cheek, as if maybe if he did that it won't be any more obvious.]

It's fine. I don't think you've ever actually seen a troll before, right?

[Christ... if that wasn't the cutest thing he's seen, then he doesn't know what is. His smile softens, gently running the pad of his thumb over Adelle's knuckles, since they were still holding hands.]

No, I haven't. Miss Kanabo did send me a picture, but it's different. In person it's like...

I mean.

You're just.... ah.

Really... lovely.

[...Oh.

Oh.

His face turns lilac completely, and suddenly he's having a hard time maintaining eye contact with Ilya. He finds himself squeezing back Ilya's hand, just a little.]

Well, you're...quite handsome yourself.

O-Oh. Uhm. ...Thank you.

[He couldn't stop smiling. It was weird and unlike him but it was happening. His stomach was in weird little fluttery knots, his face felt warm and just.

It was definitely what he needed.

He looked down to their hands again, the difference in tones was amazing. He looked back out to the beach, and to the water before looking back up at the strange night sky.]

Is this your home, then?

Oh, urm, yes. This was my hive back on Alternia.

[...yup not letting go of that hand.]

That... this is amazing. ...Maybe next time you'll get to see where I used to live.

[He was hoping for a next time, he really was.]

Ufufu, thank you. I really would like to see your home too. Next time.

[There had better be a next time, damn it.]

This must be because of the game. ...After everything today, this is more than just a nice breather.

I'd really like to show you my home too. I think you'd like it, I live on a very large island. But we have nice piers and docks... It would be nice to sit and talk with you at the docks, I think.

[Mused gently as he watched the water, and maybe... standing a bit closer.]

Ah, you did say you were playing a game with your friends, right?

It sounds lovely. How is the the water like?

[Adelle does mind at all! He may in fact be leaning back a little.]

Yeah. It's pretty much as awful as I expected it to be, only much worst. In a 'oh there's a big ball of flaming death heading my way and my friend is fucking around with my shit' sort of way. Not to mention almost dying and having a giant ghost spider following me around.

[Deep breaths, but he eases back into something like a smile, and maybe... leaning into him a bit. His heart was going a mile a minute but he didn't care.]

...This happens to be the only good part of my day actually.

Oh. The water is gorgeous.

[Cue Ilya going into a rather deep explanation of the waters of Prince Edward Island, how clear they were, the pleasant temperature and the marine like that he DIDN'T mind (like the small little fishes closer to shore.)]

[...Giant ghost spider...

Adelle listens to Ilya talk, nodding once in a while and letting himself get comfortable. It's not that this wasn't making him feel flustered or anything, but it was just so...nice after everything today.]

...Mmm, this is the only good part of my day, too.
