Cubbi, with his slightly tired eyes, looked about the room as he was resting on Plucki's shoulder. He let go a little so he would not cut off his captain's circulation to his arm. Cubbi was still worried that the other knights may blame him for the death of their kin, squires and paiges during battle. Cubbi put his head down on Plucki's shoulder as he quietly cried. Cubbi kept quiet but Plucki could tell he still hurt, even though he had explained to him it was not his fault at all.
Cubbi looked inside himself and wondered… "Could Zorlock still be here? Oh Gum," he prayed he was gone for good as he tried for the first time to sleep in a while, he stayed close then in what was, to him, ten minutes, was at least three hours when he woke up. When he woke up, he realized that Plucki was holding him asleep in a chair. Cubbi made a slight noise as he woke and instantly Plucki woke up. "I see you took a nap there, are you feeling better?" Cubbi just looked at him, not wanting to show his weaknesses. Cubbi just stayed quiet. Plucki held Cubbi to try to calm him again; maybe he could at least get him to sleep again for a little while longer. Plucki could sense that he was still very sleepy but knew it would take a lot to relax him until he was feeling comfortable enough to sleep soundly again.
Plucki wondered if Tavi was having nightmares as vivid as Cubbi's dreams were. He only hoped that the dreams would soon stop for the cubs and they could go on with their normal lives and training.
