Sayo doesn't appreciate being woken by someone else.

Alarms, sure. The sun? Sure. Nightmares? Also a yes.

But someone shaking her was something she did not like. It was too much like mouths yanking at an arm, being tugged in too many directions, memories from all across the universe-

So her socked foot slamming through the covers and into whoever had put their hands on her person was purely expected and they should have known better.

Taiga letting out a deep-voiced grunt of pain made her almost feel guilty. Almost. She's told him a hundred times not to do that… what is he doing here?

"Ow, Sayo," he finally says as she opens her eyes. "Glad to see you too."

She rubs her head. "Sorry… not much sleep." They had literally, her and Koh, come home and collapsed in various bedding areas.

"I heard." He sounds sympathetic. "I heard you had a concussion. It's why I woke you up."

"Got it looked at. 'Mfine." She doesn't mean to sound cross but she's tired. Tired and he's a silly. A major silly.

"You sure?"

"Taiga-san." She squints an eye open and flops back over. "Yes. Go talk to Mom. Or somethin'."

"What about that boy?" She thinks he's suspicious of so much.

"What about him?" She's going to deck Taiga in the face. She really is.

"Did he-"

She throws a pillow, only awake now from the sheer embarrassment. "No! Shut up!"

Something crashes upstairs and Koh curses like a sailor.

Taiga makes a muffled noise of Not Approved. Sayo rolls over and goes back to sleep.
