“I know….” he said quietly. He had kinda figured out over time that while Astral may be treating him nicely, he wasn’t like that a majority of the time.

The trinket closed her eyes a moment.
I… I hate him…

“I don’t blame you, it seems like you’ve been through a lot…just don’t let him hear you say that.”

The trinket froze a bit.
Y– Yeah… She couldn't go through that again.

He continued to gently stroke the trinket, hoping she’d somewhat feel better. He’d do that until the both of them were more stable.

((Sooo….got any plans for what we do next?))

(mmm… I do have something to do this night that I mentioned earlier >:D)

The trinket eventually calmed down some, sniffling a bit. She fell silent, eyes closed. She was done with all of this…

((Well shit time to cry if I’m thinking of what you’re thinking of))

Simon stayed awake until then, making sure she would be okay. After he was completely sure she’d calmed down, he set her over on the nightstand and got under the covers. He knew Astral had told him to get something to eat, but after all of the events from that night, he’d simply lost his appetite. So might as well just sleep right?

(>:D)

It was much appreciated when Simon did his best to help her, the trinket had to admit. She was quiet for a moment when she was set down.
Could… could you hold me? The trinket asked softly. She didn't want to be needy, but… she was terrified Astral would do something to her again.

He opened his eyes, looking over at her. “I don’t want to accidentally hurt you when I’m asleep though…that would be bad..”

I… right, the trinket said softly. She didn't try to argue, knowing Simon was right. Still, she was a bit scared of being alone- something she hadn't been for a long time.

“It’s okay, I don’t think he’s going to bother you anymore tonight….” Simon said, yawning a bit. He closed his eyes, starting to drift off. He didn’t think anything else was going to happen tonight.

It wasn't until late into the night that the door finally opened. In stepped Astral, looking down at Simon. He already had the things he needed in hand, his plans for Simon nothing but malicious as he closed the door.

(Dms..?)

Simon woke up the next day with a loud gasp. To him, the nightmare had just finished. He took in a rattling breath, slowly sitting up. His body didn’t feel any different so he didn’t suspect a thing.

The trinket looked over when Simon finally awoke.
What's wrong? She asked, knowing full well what was. Still, she had to play along, follow the rules. She couldn't risk going through being locked away in her mind again…

“I-I…” he rubbed his head a bit in confusion, still trying to process what all had happened. “J-Just a bad dream I guess…” he said, shuddering.

Do… You want to talk about it? The trinket spoke tentatively, not wanting to upset Simon. If she did, would he leave her in a drawer somewhere? Give her back? … Break her?

“Not really….” Simon said softly, bringing his knees up to his chest. He leaned over, gently picking her up.

(Ah, okay! Thanks for letting me know!)

The trinket didn't feel much relieved when Simon picked her up, but she kept herself calm.
Then I won't ask you to. Do you want to talk about something else to get your mind off it?
