[Her brows pinch as she frowns, but she doesn't fight her eyes open again. Everything feels sluggish, her processing slowed to a crawl. It takes an annoying degree of focus to speak clearly.]

I cried. That was weird.

Hilbert's warden. [She makes a slight face, letting her eyes stay closed but still wrinkling her nose and sticking out her tongue a little. It's not exactly a calculated expression, but it expresses her feelings pretty clearly.] I was so angry, and it--well, I guess it was too much. But he was nice about it after I started crying. I didn't even know that was what was happening at first. You know I've never seen tears? Never been able to detect them, not directly. Changes in breathing patterns, humidity in the vicinity of whoever's doing the crying, sure. But not the actual tears part.

[She makes a softly amused noise. It's a murmur of sound, really, probably only audible because of how close they are.] I know why people need to sleep, Eiffel. I've just never had to... do it.

[She can't tell if her words sound so loose and elastic because her audio is going cockeyed as everything slows down inside her, or if it's because talking in general is taking more and more effort.

There's a few seconds where she's almost out, hovering on the edge of soft oblivion, and something in the feeling jolts her awake in sluggish panic. She breathes in sharply, sitting up a little against him before she realizes their status is exactly what it was thirty seconds ago. Hera relaxes again slowly, unsettled.]
What does falling asleep feel like?

[She shivers, which is its own small strange experience.] I don't like it.

[Another little snort, and she wrinkles her nose at the feeling. So weird.

Still, she hooks her pinky around his, watching the way they curve over each other with muzzy fascination.]
It's not so bad. The having a body thing. I mean, it's not great, but it's... interesting.

[Her eyes close again and she lets them, starting to slide into that interior floating space she touched the edges of before. Mumbled:] Please don't leave. Not until I wake up.

[Her pinky goes loose over his, eyelids fluttering slightly as she slides past the metaphorical point of no return.]

You're my best friend too.

[Then she's out.]
