People were screaming, but Obi couldn't hear a thing. It was like there was cotton in his ears, muffling the cries.
You shouldn't sleep there, mistress. You'll catch a cold.
Shirayuki was lying on the ground, eyes open but unseeing.
I didn't know you slept with your eyes open, little miss.
There was an arrow sticking out of her heart. How rude. Why would someone shoot someone who was sleeping?
He pulled it from her chest, and then kissed her cheek. But this sleeping beauty did not wake.
Zen was beside him, on his knees. His face was pale, paler then Obi had ever seen it. For a reason he couldn't understand, tears started to fall down his face. Obi frowned.
Why am I crying? Obi thought, tilting his head in confusion. She's just sleeping.
