Cormac & Merri ; The Tower Library | 8 AM
The hand on Cormac's shoulder didn't rouse him immediately, but the voice that followed after made him groan. He hadn't been having a good dream. He hadn't been dreaming at all. He'd just sunk into blissful oblivion.
It was times like this he would've loved to have Cy around. She'd wipe the cobwebs away from his mind. His mind which was...surprisingly quiet for once. He looked down at the book he was reading and blinked at the big wet stain, before closing it and looking over at the person who woke him.
Because this is exactly who he wanted to meet first thing in the morning. "Hello, Mer..." he stopped as his voice was hoarse. "Hello," he tried again. The words came easier. "Good morning, councilor." He blinked a few more times, before rubbing the sleep out of the corners of his eyes. "What time is it? How long have I been here?"
