Who: Simon and River Where: Morgans Apartment When: Week 10, Wednesday late at night Why: The house is divided and poor River is in the middle of it all. Warning: TBD
To say things were tense in the apartment above Avalon would be an understatement. Morgan and Simon had seemed to come to an unspoken agreement to be two ships passing in the night, neither one really seeing the other. On the days that The Avalon was closed and all three were there together the healer would keep to his room or spend time with River.
Tonight marked yet another night where Simon was unable to sleep. The insomnia came and went but lately it was more present than it had been before. Laying on his back he stared at the ceiling for a while before deciding to get up and go across the hall. Growing up there had been countless nights when River would sneak into his bed and fall asleep curled up against him. It was rare that the roles were reversed but tonight the man just wanted to be close to his sister, hoping that something familiar and safe would lull him to sleep.
Opening the door quietly as not to wake River in case she were already asleep, Simon crawled into the large bed, feeling the brief instant of calm that always came from being near his little sister.
