The conversation drifted among us brothers for a while longer before we called it a night. After a marathon gaming session, it was definitely time to catch some sleep.

He figured Elijah hadn't slept yet and gently pushed the door to enter the room.

Elijah was still sitting by the window. Seeing Tarquin, he frowned even more.

Tarquin walked over to him, affectionately ruffled his hair, and then sat down to ask, "Can't sleep?"
