"Maybe we will see you around."
Ruby tosses and turns in her bunk, making it swing lightly, to subconscious dismay of her partner below. Who despite being soundly asleep, tenses up at the dreaded sound of strained ropes.
A barely-there smirk graces Her lips.
She's not entirely awake but most certainly not even halfway asleep either. It's… tiring, this restlessness that overtakes her at night when there is nothing to distract the girl from idle thoughts. If they can be called such.
She catches the other student watching her, none too subtly from across the hall.
She tries her best in forcing herself into sleep but it proves to be difficult. Stubbornly trying to think about nothing or counting sheep works only to a point, after which she becomes too sleepy to continue, that's when thoughts of Her swarm Ruby's mind anew.
She smiles back at the strange woman as they pass the other in a hallway.
It's not like her mind doesn't do the same throughout the day when it's given time to wander.
'She must be an upperclassmen.'
It's annoying. Not the thoughts themselves but the way they pester her.
Ruby's body flares up when she feels her leg being rubbed by another under the table. All the while She simply keeps talking as if nothing has happened, a subtle smile ever present on Her face.
The girl's eyes shoot open at that particular memory, suddenly fully awake. She takes in a shaky breath after realizing she forgot to breathe, then takes her mask off, revealing a pair of tired, silver eyes. She pulls her scroll out from under the pillow to check the hour. Squinting as the light blinds her momentarily.
2:14
Way, way too early to get up. Way too late to catch proper sleep too. Oh, she will be dead on her feet in classes again, and she has lessons with Glynda today and she won't be able to focus and the woman will give her detention for slacking off and Weiss will be mad and she will be given some sort of punishment and she will have to spend the rest of today on it.
And she won't be able to see Her because of it.
She lets out a dismayed groan and shoves the scroll back underneath the cushion. Maybe she could sneak into Yang's bunk? That always helps when she has trouble sleeping. Her sister sleeps like the dead, rather animated dead but still. Problem is she will wake up first, since Ruby herself is dead tired. Then she will ask what's the matter and won't stop until getting an honest answer out of her sister.
Blake…
Nope.
She can technically invade Schnee heiress' bed, she had done it before and still lives to tell the tale but Ruby doubts it would be of much help. Her older sister automatically grabs anything in her reach while sleeping, which makes for hilarious photos and great cuddles. Weiss… not so much, or at all really. She attempted giving the white haired girl a stuffed beowolf in her sleep once. She prepared for many things but not the absolute lack of reaction.
Ruby turns over, stuffing her face into pillow and tries counting to a hundred again. Hoping to simply pass out in process.
"What do you say we meet after lessons, hm?"
