Lilac stared at the ceiling unable to sleep as the half orc beside her snored loudly. She tried ear plugs but they didn't work and none of her spells could quieten him down or block out sound. She rolled her eyes towards him and glared as he breathed heavily in her direction and fought back the idea to give him a smack.
With a growl she threw the sheets off herself then waved her hand to cast a dim light and then sat at her vanity table. She snatched her eye patch from where it lay and strapped it around the base of her horn and made sure it was secure then gathered her journal, inkwell and quill.
Opening her journal to a blank page she began to write but after a while the words weren't making sense any more. She grunted and clawed out the page and tried again. Her second attempt wasn't much better than the last and this time she furiously scribbled out the words until the quill became unusable.
Her hands grabbed her horns in frustration and she propped her head on the table in defeat and groaned sadly. Lilac's words used to flow perfectly onto the pages but since her last mission some things had changed and it was hard to make sense of it all and she felt to embarrassed to talk to her friends about it.
The orc snored again and out of annoyance she threw her journal at him and it bounced off his chest but it didn't seem to wake him. Swiftly moving from the seat she dressed herself and dispelled the light and left her room. She went to the bar area of the guild to see if Ellie was there and when Lilac didn't find her there she headed towards the barbarian's room.
She knocked lightly and when there wasn't an answer she banged louder then a moment later Ellie opened her door with a forceful swing. The dragonborn stood with her teeth barring and fist clenched ready to fight whoever woke her but her expression softened when she realized it was Lilac in front of her.
"Lilac? Is everything all right?"
"Can I come in? I can't sleep."
