Chaosti walks barefoot along the perimeter of the forest, just inside its borders. His gaze constantly drifts from the woods around him to the dark, nearly moonless sky overhead.

Autumn walks over to him, coming from the castle. "Hey," she says sleepily.

Chaosti looks up and smiles slightly when he sees Autumn, nodding in greeting. He keeps walking, seeming restless, but slows so she can catch up. "Hey."

"God, you're even more restless than before my nap..." Autumn says, finally catching up to him. "You're walking a lot faster."

"Sorry.." Chaosti murmurs, glancing at the sky again. "I just.. feel like I'm made of mexican jumping beans."

"Like something just wants to get out of you?" Autumn pauses. "That sounded wrong.... but gimme a break I just woke up again..."

Chaosti chuckles slightly. "I guess you could put it that way."

"Yeah, I know what you mean.... Well, not really. But when I'm falling over in tiredness just to support my boyfriend at 3 in the morning on a schoolnight, it's the thought that counts right?"

Chaosti smiles and says, "Yeah. And I really do appreciate this.. And once again reiterate that you don't have to do this. I'd be fine by myself." He looks a little less than fine [or more fine, depending on how you view it..] though at the moment, covered in a thin sheen of sweat.

Autumn smiles up at him. "You were there when the energy balls thing happened. It's the least I can do to lose a little sleep and make sure you don't kill anyone."

Chaosti smiles back and says, "But if I did, that would mean we'd have enough people to make a support group!"

"Do they have cookies or caffeine? Either one will get me to join."

"Nope, but I think pizza Fridays sound like a good idea."

Autumn laughs. "Not a good enough offer. I'll wait till cookies are served and stay till coffee."

Chaosti chuckles, then shivers slightly and looks up at the sky again, rubbing at his arms as though cold.

Autumn looks concerned. "This is a change... You're never cold."

Chaosti nods. "It's weir-" He's cut off as another shiver runs through his body, more pronounced than the first. "Okay.. either those eggs they served at breakfast were bad, or something's going on.."

Autumn's eyes widen. "I vote second option.."

Chaosti tenses up and closes his eyes, fists clenching. He seems to be trying to resist something, waging an inner war.
"Don't struggle, moron." An annoyed voice says. Julianna appears out of the shadows and leans against a nearby tree, observing detachedly through cold ice blue eyes.

Autumn instinctively grabs Chaosti's hand when she hears Julianna, not recognizing her at first. Her grip lightens slightly when she realizes who it is. "What are you doing out here?"
