She mumbled again and shifted around, pushing away from him and rolling towards the edge of the bed. The nightmare was the one that always came, it was about her uncle and aunt, and her whole life basically.

Miles felt her push and he lifted his head up. "Emmeline," He said more coarsely this time. "Emmeline, wake up." Is she having a nightmare?

Emmeline rolled onto her side and curled into a small ball, shaking her head. She tensed up and shook her head again, mumbling some more.

"Emmeline!" He hissed, and shook her shoulder. "Emmeline wake up!" She's clearly not doing okay…. Miles whined and whimpered. He wasn't really sure what else to do, and he was afraid if he yelled at her that things would just get worse for her.

She squeaked and flinched when he shook her shoulder, squeezing her eyes shut tighter. "No.." She whimpered, shaking her head again, "No, stop..leave me alone.."

Miles ears drooped. "Emmeline, wake up!!" He said more assertively. "You're having a nightmare!" I– I don't know what to do!!! He panicked a little before he began to lick her face. I have no choice!!!

Emmeline rolled onto her stomach again and scrunched her face up when he licked it, already coming out of the nightmare. "Stop Miles.." She mumbled, twisting her face away from him as the nightmare faded and she woke up.

He retreated from her and furrowed his brow. "I'm sorry…." Miles turned away from her. "….I wasn't sure what you wanted…." Feeling ashamed, he got off the bed to grab the meat she got him at the store and unwrapped it, sitting on the floor at the foot of the bed and gnawing on it slowly.

She sighed and rubbed her face with her hands, grabbing the blanket and wrapping it around her shoulders before sitting up, "Did I yell at all?" She asked wearily, knowing that she had before when any nightmares came, "Better yet, what did I do?"

"You just rolled around and muttered to yourself…." Miles said quietly, continuing to chew on the meat. I had no choice, it was the only thing that was going to wake you up if shaking you wasn't…

"Oh.." She laid back down on the bed and stared at the ceiling, "Sorry you had to see that by the way.." She said softly, "I've gotten them before but I can't keep them away yet."

"Hm…." Miles hummed. "Nightmares are just bad…." He ate away at his bone by himself, soon cleaning it off. My leg feels a bit better…. We might have a chance to leave later tomorrow if it heals fast enough…

Emmeline sat up once again and looked around the room, wondering if there was anything she could do to pass the time.

Miles finished his food and set the leftover bone aside, soon curling up again and falling asleep – this time on the floor. Time to resume my nap before she interrupted me…. But I can't blame her… Nightmares are nightmares….

She scooted to the edge of the bed and stood up, stretching quietly. The nightmare had ruined any chance of her going back to sleep so she just laid down and looked at the ceiling, hoping Miles' leg healed faster.

Miles got an itch on his ear and he scratched it with his hand, then with his healthy foot. I have no idea how long we can stay here before people get suspicious…. He shifted around and settled back into his sleep.

She sighed and rolled onto her side, starting to hum softly again to pass the time. She started daydreaming about where they would live after they got away from all of the hunters and what their life would be like.

Miles got out of his sleep, but he stayed there, curled up on the floor. "Maybe there's something like a library that you can go to while I sleep…." Because I feel like that nightmare screwed things up for her….

She nodded softly and rubbed her eyes, "I'll go see," She said, scooting to the edge of the bed and standing up, "Do you need anything while I'm in town?" She asked, walking to the door but not opening it quite yet.

"I should be good…." He mumbled. "Maybe you can sell the stolen valuables to get some money while you're out…" I don't mean to put any pressure on you… It's just I can't go anywhere simply because of who I am.

"I can try," She said, grabbing the valuables and opening the door, "I'll be back soon." She closed the door tightly behind herself before heading out into the town, deciding to try to sell the items before looking for a library. There was an empty space between two vendors and she sat on the ground, laying out the items in front of herself and waiting for people to buy them.

Miles dozed off quickly into a deep slumber. I hope she gets good moolah from all of that…

(You can have her do whatever you want, he’ll just be sleeping.)

(Alrighty, also, sorry if my responses are short or don't make sense, I have a head cold thingy and it's making thinking and typing difficult)
Emmeline started humming softly as people came by her 'stand' and looked at the items, some of them buying one or more of the valuables for decent money. Within a few minutes she had sold several things, ending up bargaining with one person to trade one item for some fresh bread and other food.

(I’m also trying to fight off a terrible headache….)

Miles woke up after several minutes of napping and sleeping. Hopefully those villagers or whatever don’t rip her off…..

After she sold several items she picked the other things up, tucking them away as she looked for a new place to set up shop and a library of some kind.
