“You can’t practice if you randomly fall asleep somewhere. But if you stay in your bed and have someone wake you up, you’ll be refreshed and ready for the campfire.” Lydia said, trying not to let her worry be heard.

“I understand your concern, but I am more than capable at keeping myself awake.”

Lydia began to argue again, but sighed instead. “Fine. But if you get any worse, tell me.”

“Will do.” Trenton replied blandly, already not planning on doing that.

Lydia squeezes Trent’s shoulder before letting go, putting her head on her fists.

“I still can’t believe I forgot my pill this morning.” He sighed, rubbing at his eyes. Blair was quiet enough that he’d almost forgotten the teen was sitting across from him.

“What?”

Trent looked back over at her, chuckling a little. “Already forgot? Y’all have terrible memory. It’s all that caffeine.”

“It’s not the caffeiene’s fault. I was distracted for the majority of the day.”

He shot a wary glance at Blair, unsure if he wanted the boy to know about his condition. But at the moment everything seemed calm, and it was likely he would forget anyways. “I’m anemic, dwarf. You went with me to get my iron pill this morning. This is merely side effects of not taking my pill on time combined with over exertion and little food.”

Lydia cursed again, wondering how she could forget something. “Right. Sorry.”
(Meanwhile Hawkeye is very, very annoyed with herself for being an idiot. Sorry…)

“Worry not. You have had much to occupy your thoughts today.” Trent nudged her lightly with his elbow. “Now I get to be the one to tell you to stop apologizing. It is unnecessary.”

(Lmao It’s okay the only reason I remembered is because I was re-reading some stuff!)

“We both need to not apologize anymore. Family rule number one: no apologizing unless needed.”

“I get the feeling I will break this rule quite often.” Trent paused, grinning. “I apologize for my future infringements.”

“Oh we all will. Maybe it’s more of a guideline.”

“May I propose another rule as well?”

“But of course.”

“I would like us to not be as inclined to… rush into danger. Which I am quite the culprit of as of now.” Trenton’s smile turned a bit sheepish from embarrassment.

“We Can try.” Lydia said, laughing.

He smiled weakly in return, yawning again. “I find exhaustion to be a hindrance.” He grumbled quietly, subconsciously smoothing out his hair. “I also find the rat’s nest I call my hair to be obnoxiously disobedient.”

“Sleep is the answer,” Lydia said, “And your hair is fine.”

“You seem quite adamant that I should be unconscious. Are you that annoyed with me already?” Trent joked, a tired grin on his face.

“No. You need sleep, Trent.”

“Sitting here is rest enough.” Trent argued softly, having a feeling he was fighting a loosing battle.

“You need sleep.” Lydia repeated.
