"I don't either," Aliana yawned and went to cover her mouth while doing it, "But if I sleep anymore I don't think I'll wake up again."

Hatta chuckled softly, tiredly, and let go of her, rolling onto his back.

Aliana felt colder when Hatta let go of her. She sat up in her bag and stretched before yawning again.

Hatta hummed softly, and sat up, putting his hat on.

Aliana yawned and ended up leaning against Hatta. She was still sleepy, but knew she had to wake up, "What time is it?"

"I don't know." Hatta replied calmly, getting up. "My pocket watch is broken."

Aliana caught herself before she fell and she begrudgingly stood up stretching once more. She looked at Hatta, "Oh. When did that happen?"

"A long time ago." Hatta replied with a shrug.

Aliana crouched down and started to roll her sleeping bag up, "And you didn't buy a new one?"

"No. Why should I have?" Hatta replied, stuffing his sleeping bag into his hat.

"So you could have a working pocket watch?" Aliana suggested handing Hatta her sleeping bag.

"Why?" Hatta replied, stuffing her sleeping bag into his hat.

Aliana forced down another yawn that wanted to slip out, "To tell time?"

"But I don't need to tell time." Hatta replied calmly.

Aliana shrugged, "You might not, but I like to know the time of day."

Hatta shrugged, and got out of the tent. "Then why don't you have a watch?"

"I wasn't allowed to have a watch," Aliana said quietly to herself before stepping out of the tent. She gave a less depressing answer to Hatta, "I've never needed one before."

"Why?" Hatta asked slowly. "Why no watch?" he asked, and folded the tent up, putting it into his hat.

"I could always see a clock," Aliana responded carefully even though that wasn't true. Her truth was the people who raised her didn't let her have a lot of nice things, or if she wanted them she had to work hard for them. The only reason she had her golden locket is because it had been hers from the very beginning.

Hatta nodded slowly. "Oh. Alright." he shrugged slightly, and finished packing everything, putting it in his hat.

Aliana had har backpack on and looked to Hatta, "We're heading out now?"

Hatta nodded. "Yes. Unless there's something else you wanted to do?" he arched an eyebrow.

"No," Aliana shook her head, "I'm still waking up and not exactly all together."

"Alright." Hatta started walking, humming softly.
