[... Oh, Asch, do you know how happy that made him? Actually, you probably do know. Luke's surprised at first, but then he smiles in the darkness and shifts enough to get comfortable and rest an arm across Asch's chest. Nothing more than that - he's not that kid who'd cling like a python anymore.

I won't, I promise. Thanks, Asch.
[And though he'd rather avoid his nightmares and thus stay awake as much as he can... He knows better than to throw away his mother's advice. Missing out on sleep is never good for anyone. Besides, he is a little groggy... So, he shuts his eyes and tries to fall asleep again. With Asch here, someone whom he's always looked up to and practically followed everywhere as a child, it's a little easier to not be afraid, but... He still doesn't want to dream of all that blood again.]
