(gah i kept trying to respond but got sidetracked. the show is getting busy, the double-shows started yesterday)

"you tired?" j signed lazily, chips in their lap. "i can leave."

(No worries!)
Arthur looked up at him, signing back; "Yeah.. but I'd prefer not sleeping." he paused for a moment, munching on another chip, "at this point Anything's better than sleep" he signed, emphasizing his words.

j raised an eyebrow, asking the silent question.
why?
he looked tired, so why didn't he sleep? is it nightmares of some sort, or just… stubborness?

"Nightmares……. bad ones……." signed Arthur, not really wanting to talk about it.

j pursed their lips slightly, thinking. after a moment, they seemed to come to a conclusion.
"that makes sense" they signed hesitantly, going deliberately slow for arthur's limited familiarity.

"nightmares are stressful. are you doing okay?"

Arthur sighed, "As well as I can be considering I've been fighting off sleep for three days now" he said, being honest.

j's eyes narrowed, and they stilled their bouncing leg and twitching wrists to glare at him.
"three days."
it wasn't a question.
"that's not healthy. wouldn't you rather take care of yourself after a nightmare over being sleep deprived?"

"I need the nightmares to stop more than I need sleep." signed Arthur, meeting the glare with firm eyes, they were tired, shadowed by pain, but firm. "The nightmares are worse than no sleep. I would rather stay awake for as long as possible, at least if I pass out I have a good chance o being too exhausted to have dreams…"

(where do you want this to go? like what'll help arthur? cause i have some ideas ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°))

j softened, but held his gaze.
"you can get therapy. medicine, too. they'll help. you seem well off enough."

(Well for starters the "nightmares" are actually memories…. Honestly he just needs something else to think about…. I've been doing a ton of RP's with him to explore this aspect in the first place, cause, y'know… I'm not a physchologist.. or whatever the term is…)
"Tried it" signed Arthur, "Nothing helps except not sleeping…" he stifled a yawn.

(i personally wanna throw some fluff in there but we can have a big mixture of all if ur good with that)

"i personally will punch your lights out. that'll be dreamless enough, and its some sort of rest. you might have a bruise."

Arthur raised an eyebrow, "Please don't…." he signed, looking up at J tiredly.
(Sounds good to me!)

"then what do you want me to do? helping is the least repayment for all this."
j's movements were quick and succinct, and they waited patiently for his answer

"I don't know" signed Arthur, "I really don't"

(god im sorry for not responding i just,,, dont know how?i dont know what to say so here goes)

j nodded.
"fair. has there been anything that helped?"

Arthur sighed, "Distraction…" he signed, "I'm honestly too tired to think right now…"

(It's ok, we can keep going with this, or we can do a new one.. What's the new one about?
