As night darkened and the moon rose high into the air, the Bokoblins and the Moblins tucked themselves in—Well, if lying spread eagle on the ground was considered tucking in, then that's what they did. The Keese were still flying around, though some decided to go ahead and roost for the night. The great Molduga, with his snout sticking out of the sand, was snoring loudly—And all the people in the kingdom were asleep. Everything was silent. It was a perfect, crisp night—Even the guardians had decided to take a break from their roaming.

Link was still curled up in Kass's right wing, the warmth enveloping him and keeping him calm…Every so often, he would twitch; a dream. You would think with how exhausted he was, he wouldn't be having dreams, but that wasn't the case—And in all actuality, the dreams weren't even that; they were nightmares.

It didn't take long for his twitching to become light tremors. Sweat beaded up on his forehead, running down his nose and dripping onto the light blue feathers and his chest rose and fell quickly. Soon, he started to whimper and mumble incoherently. It was soft at first but grew louder and louder until the small noises turned into screams that echoed loudly through the air.

On the inside, a monstrous guardian was chasing after him, those spider-like legs slamming into the ground. The dirt that was kicked up hit his back, tangled in his hair, and ran down his shirt. The possessed being had long since locked onto Link, but it had taken awhile before the hero grew weary and slowed down. It didn't take much longer for the beeping to flatline and soon, a colossal beam shot towards the Hylian.

Link awoke with a start, almost smacking Kass in the face—The screaming had awoken the Rito and, for the past five minutes, he had been trying to wake Link up. "Hero!? Are you okay?" Tears welled into the boy's eyes and he bit at his bottom lip, heart thumping wildly against his chest. He couldn't cry, no—Not right now. Not in front of Kass. Not in front of anyone, no. No, no—It was just—A dream. "Link, please answer me." There was a slight sense of urgency in the avian's voice, but the boy paid no attention to it. Instead, he slowly signed out that he was fine; though, Kass did not look convinced.

"Someone who was just screaming and flailing around in their sleep does not feel better just like that, you know." He stood to his full height. "I didn't crack open my shell yesterday. But if you insist that you are alright, who am I to argue?" Kass couldn't help but act in a more abrasive way. After all, it frustrated him that Link didn't seem to want his help. That, and he did wake him up super early. A blue wing raised to cover his beak as the giant bird yawned, still tired. He could fall asleep right then and there, to be honest.

A tapping on his side brought his attention downward. "Hm? What is it, Link?" The boy signed out a small plea for a song, something to help him go to sleep. He didn't want to admit it, but he was a little scared at the moment—And Kass's singing was the only thing that would make him calm at that point in time. The Rito smirked inwardly and moved to grab his accordion. "Let's see...Something short and sweet...Ah!" The bird took in a deep breath and began to play his instrument, letting the notes dance around their heads. As he played, he moved to sit down next to Link, allowing him to cuddle up if he so desired.

It didn't take long for the hero to slip back into a deep slumber, chest rising and falling slowly. Kass didn't want to stop mid-song, so he finished up and set the object down a few inches away. "It's not so hard to ask for help." He spoke to a knocked out Link. "But, I guess when you've only relied on yourself for so long, it can be hard—I would know..." He finished up the one-sided conversation and yawned once more, willing his eyes to close. His joints popped as he stretched out, reclining back against a rock.

"Goodnight, once again, Link..." He murmured before falling asleep himself.
