Charlotte grinned and shook her head. "Not one single wink," she answered brightly.
Charlotte grinned and shook her head. "Not one single wink," she answered brightly.
Aster blinked. "Uhm. Why not?" He asked slowly. "It's really not good for you not to sleep."
"We get it, dad." Quinn grumbled.
Charlotte snickered. "Yes, I know one is supposed to get sleep, but honestly, what kind of person really gets enough? And anyway, I simply couldn't sleep."
"I got enough." Aster muttered, ignoring Quinn. "And why couldn't you sleep? If there was an issue, let me know so i can fix it before or at the next stop."
"You're such a parent," Charlotte muttered. "Just night terrors," she sighed. "Yes, I know, just like a child."
Aster sighed. "Oh. I'm sorry. Anything I can do to help? A lamp for light, uhm…" He shrugged slightly. "Is it because there's no one else in the room?" He glanced at Quinn, then back at her again.
Quinn pressed his lips together.
"Er…" She paused , then shook her head. "No, no, I'm perfectly fine, thank you."
He nodded. "Alright…just let me know if there's anything I can do, okay?" He gave her a small, reassuring smile.
"Right, because you just need to fix everyone." Quinn muttered.
Charlotte gave Aster a brief smile, then looked down at the table. "He's only trying to help, Quinn," she said softly.
Quinn scowled. "Yeah, just like everyone else is "helping"." He stood up, and put his plate away, though he had only barely eaten. "I'm done."
Aster sighed, raking a hand through his blonde hair. "Quinn, please. I'm sorry about…" He trailed off, shaking his head.
(Ugh, autocorrect's screwing with me)
Charlotte took her plate to a nearby waiter and gave Aster an apologetic glance before following to her own room. As soon as she was inside, she ran to the window and plucked leaves from the tree outside, ripping them into hundreds of tiny pieces.
(lol its fine)
Aster sighed. "Everytime I try to help, everything just gets fucked up worse." He muttered under his breath.
"Tell me when we leave." Quinn said, going to his room.
Charlotte changed into a short and pants (black, of course. They were more comfortable than she'd expected) before curling up on the chair in her room and staring at.the wall.
After about ten minutes, Aster knocked on her door. "Time to go." He said. "We make it out of the city today, so we'll be stopping more frequently to look around."
Charlotte slung her bag over her shoulder and left her room, going to stand near the stairs.
Aster knocked on Quinn's door. "Time to go." He said.
Quinn came out, smirk plastered over his face. "Alright."
Charlotte crossed her arms uncomfortably, tapping her foot rapidly.
Aster led them to the carriage, holding the door open.
Quinn went inside, sitting down.
Charlotte followed and sat on the opposite side, as before.
Aster closed the door, and got on his horse. "Let's go!" The carriage lurched into motion.
Quinn looked over at her.
Charlotte focused her attention outside the window. The squirrels here seemed especially brave.
Quinn looked over at her. "I am…sorry for what I said yesterday. I shouldn't have told you that." He said.
Charlotte shook her head. "It's - I'm glad you did. I hate being sheltered."
He shook his head. "I shouldn't have told you. It's not…" He sighed.
Charlotte tapped her fingers briefly before catching herself. "Fine. It's forgotten. I've no idea of anything that you've ever done in your entire life other than abducting me."
