`All he knew was one moment, he was sleeping, peacefully not dreaming about anything at all, having fallen almost immediately into the deep sleep of the physically exhausted. The next, he was pretty sure that he was in some sort of rockslide and was falling and being kidnapped all at once. He woke up with a start, someone sitting on top of him and clamping a hand over his mouth – which was probably a good thing, since the other initiates would have been a little annoyed with him if he'd woken them up in the middle of the night, yelping.
..with a thirteen year old girl sitting on him. His eyes didn't need to adjust to the low lighting, so it didn't take any time at all – after he realised he wasn't falling or dying or being kidnapped – to recognise Ashya's small form. He felt rather a ninny for having been so.. Whatever it had been. Frightened didn't seem quite right, but that was probably him trying to tell himself that he wasn't as ridiculous as he clearly was.
Reaching up and pulling her hand off of his face so he could reply, Loïc did his best to give her a mixture between incredulous and irritation, but having just woken up to a minor heart attack, it was probably a good thing they were in the dark so she couldn't see it that well.
'The demon. Really. I'm sure he's rather a lot larger than you are.'
He tried to sit up a little, leaning back on his elbows and looking at her. Somewhat difficult with her sprawled out across him, but she really wasn't very large – though neither was he, so that didn't work very well – and it wasn't like she was sitting on his chest or anything.
'What are you doing in here anyway? Don't you sleep?'
