A/N: A bit of explaining to go on here: Game was never played but Trolls and Humans communicated and now the trolls are able to visit the earth between 10-12 sweeps and are allowed to stay if they can find a stable job and make themselves useful in human society. Current Empress is Feferi.

The darkness seemed to amplify the sounds in the room, causing the restless troll to look around. She could hear the faint breathing of the other in the room as she paced. It had been a while and she was still unsure of her choice. It wasn't something that would be taken lightly. But it was also something that drove her mad to think about.
She let out a sigh, sauntering over to the bed and sliding under the covers next to the other. The steady breathing matched the sound of the ticking clock, the fan turning over head to help with the air circulation. Neither had suggested a nicer hotel to meet up in because of people that they might or might not run into but the other didn't mind.
It was nice to just sit in the darkness, to try and think about what might happen. Beyond the curtains, the world might tell a slightly different story. Bright lights seeped in from under the curtains but it was a constant light and there was the sound of a highway a couple feet away. It was the perfect place to escape to on a night that wasn't so busy.
The other stirred, seeming to sense that the first had entered the bed as she seemed to inch toward the other source of heat though it was hot enough in the room to just throw back the sheets. The troll glanced toward he second shape, lightly resting a hand on the second's head, wondering countless questions before she finally closed her eyes.
In another room, yelling broke out, causing the other to wake in a small flutter of movement. "Is it afternoon yet?" She mumbled.
"A bit after dawn actually. Haven't been sleeping for very long. Seems like the room over got an early start on their arguments." The first whispered.
The smaller troll shifted slightly, leaning against the other, finding her hand and entwining their fingers. "You've been restless,"
"Just thinking is all. You should go back to sleep." The first smiled, applying pressure to the smaller one's hand.
She mumbled something in response, snuggling against the other before falling back asleep despite the rising voices on the other side of the wall. The first focused on the sound of the breathing, her free hand stroking the black hair before she drifted off, smiling.
