Over on Realmgard, I’ve been reposting one of my previous Realmgard Short Scenes every Monday. Today, we’re taking a look at Sally Lyte‘s sleep habits.

Nolan Lyte sleeps. As he sleeps, he dreams and as he dreams, he speaks. “Just let Matilda have it,” he murmurs into his pillow, “she likes tongue casserole.”
He is torn out of his dream by the sensation of hands shaking him.
“Gah!” he cries as he jerks upright. “Bears! Wolves! Bear-Wolves! We’re all — Oh, what’s wrong, Sally?”
Nolan peers into the gloom of his bedroom and squints to see the familiar figure of his little sister, clutching, as ever, the equally-familiar figure of Count Bunnyescu.
“I can’t sleep,” Sally says. Not for the first time. Or the second. Or probably even the thousand-and-second.
“Come on,” Nolan says, pulling aside his bedsheets and allowing Sally to climb in beside him.
Sally smiles broadly and snuggles close to her favourite brother.
“Nolan,” she asks. “Could you not snore tonight?”
“I’ll try,” Nolan says.
